Unified Telemetry Data Aggregation for Information Handling Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Previous information handling systems do not allow individuals to view or access all individual data elements tracked and sent from the system, limiting the ability to manage and diagnose issues effectively.
Innovation Solution
An information handling system with a telemetry component that analyzes applications, creates comprehensive lists of data tracked, and displays this information to associated individuals, enabling unified telemetry data collection and access to all telemetry data, including data stored locally and sent to cloud servers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple applications collect and send telemetry data independently, then each application can track its specific data elements, but individuals cannot view or access all individual data elements tracked and sent from the system
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines telemetry data collection from multiple independent applications into a unified system. A central telemetry agent aggregates data elements from various applications, creating a consolidated view that allows individuals to access all telemetry data through a single interface, thereby resolving the contradiction between independent collection and unified access
Solution Approach 2:
The telemetry agent serves multiple functions: it collects data from various applications, aggregates different data types, manages data elements centrally, and provides unified access interfaces. This multi-functional approach enables the system to maintain independent application data collection while providing centralized access to all telemetry data
2Reliability
If applications track comprehensive telemetry data, then system diagnostics capability improves, but the complexity of managing and accessing data from multiple applications increases
Solution Approach 1:
The telemetry agent acts as an intermediary between multiple applications and the user interface. It receives comprehensive telemetry data from various applications, processes and standardizes the data elements, and presents them through a unified interface, thereby improving diagnostics capability while simplifying data management operations
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments telemetry data into distinct data elements that can be individually managed and accessed. The telemetry agent organizes comprehensive data from multiple applications into structured segments, allowing for easier management, filtering, and access while maintaining complete diagnostic information
Data Source
AI summary
A memory stores telemetry data for an information handling system. A processor analyzes applications being executed within the information handling system, and determines one or more of the applications that collect and send the telemetry data. The processor also retrieves a first list of different sets of data to be tracked for each of the applications. Each of the sets of data to be tracked is associated with a different one of the applications. The processor creates a second list of data being logged in the information handling system. Based on the first and second lists, the processor creates a comprehensive list of data tracked by the applications.
