US 10,855,523 B2 · Intention-based device component tracking system

Abstract

A component tracking system includes a plurality of devices that each include a device component monitoring subsystem that monitors for and records the addition and/or removal of device components to/from that device. A device component manager system that is coupled to each of the plurality of devices identifies, via a recording by a first device monitoring subsystem in a first device included in the plurality of devices, the removal of a first device component from the first device. The device component manager system then determines, via a recording by a second device component monitoring subsystem in a second device included in the plurality of devices, that the first device component has been added to the second device within a time period and, in response, the device component manager device prevents a removed first device component alarm.

Dependent claims

A component tracking system, comprising:

a plurality of devices, wherein each of the plurality of devices includes:
a device component monitoring subsystem that is configured to:
monitor for and record the addition of device components to that device;
and
monitor for and record the removal of device components from that device;
a device component manager system that is coupled to each of the plurality of devices, wherein the device component manager system is configured to:
identify, via a recording by a first device monitoring subsystem in a first device that is included in the plurality of devices, the removal of a first device component from the first device;
determine, via a recording by a second device component monitoring subsystem in a second device that is included in the plurality of devices, that the first device component has been added to the second device within a time period;
and
prevent, in response to determining that the first device component has been added to the second device within the time period, a removed first device component alarm.

7 more elements

An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:

a processing system;
and
a memory system that is coupled to the processing system and that includes instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to provide a device component manager engine that is configured to:
identify, via a first device monitoring subsystem in a first device that is included in a plurality of devices, the removal of a first device component from the first device;
determine, via a second device component monitoring subsystem in a second device that is included in the plurality of devices, that the first device component has been added to the second device within a time period;
and
prevent, in response to determining that the first device component has been added to the second device within the time period, a removed first device component alarm.

4 more elements

A method for tracking device components, comprising:

identifying, by a device component manager system via a first device monitoring subsystem in a first device that is included in a plurality of devices, the removal of a first device component from the first device;
determining, by the device component manager system via a second device component monitoring subsystem in a second device that is included in the plurality of devices, that the first device component has been added to the second device within a time period;
and
preventing, by the device component manager system in response to determining that the first device component has been added to the second device within the time period, a removed first device component alarm.
