Fast Data Channel for Workspace Context Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing Information Handling Systems (IHSs) face challenges in efficiently establishing and managing fast data channels among modern workspaces, particularly in contexts where concurrent access and real-time data processing are required.
Innovation Solution
The system detects access by multiple workspaces to an IHS resource and establishes a fast data channel based on context information, such as the type of applications executed, user presence, and proximity. This is achieved through a virtual Direct Memory Access (DMA) channel managed by a memory controller, with throughput and latency parameters adjusted accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If virtualized environments are used to isolate protected data, then security is improved, but access speed and data processing efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a fast data channel as an intermediary mechanism between isolated workspaces. This dedicated communication path allows workspaces to exchange data rapidly while maintaining their isolation boundaries, thus resolving the contradiction between security (isolation) and productivity (data exchange speed).
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments data communication paths into regular channels and fast data channels. By creating a specialized fast data channel for time-sensitive data while maintaining standard channels for other communications, the system achieves both security through isolation and high productivity for critical data paths.
2Productivity
If fast data channels are established between workspaces, then data processing efficiency is improved, but system complexity worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The fast data channel mechanism is designed to be universally applicable across multiple workspace pairs. Rather than creating custom solutions for each workspace interaction, the patent implements a general-purpose fast data channel infrastructure that can serve multiple workspaces, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high productivity.
3Productivity
If throughput is increased for real-time data processing, then productivity is improved, but latency control becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic parameter adjustment for fast data channels, allowing the system to adaptively modify throughput and latency characteristics based on real-time conditions. This dynamic control enables the system to optimize both productivity (throughput) and time efficiency (latency) simultaneously by adjusting parameters as needed.

AI summary
Systems and methods for establishing and managing fast data channels among modern workspaces are described. In an embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to: detect access by a first workspace and a second workspace to an IHS resource, and establish a fast data channel between the first and second workspaces, at least in part, based upon context information.
