System and method for pre-boot dynamic video rendering and graphics interpretation by a virtual graphics browser

An information handling system, comprising:

• a processor, during a pre-extensible firmware interface initialization phase of the information handling system, configured to:
• learn capabilities of components of the information handling system;
• create a hand-off block for storage of a virtual graphical browser firmware volume payload;
• and
• store learned capabilities of the components of the information handling system in the hand-off block;
• the processor, during a driver execution environment phase of the information handling system, configured to:
• retrieve the learned capabilities of the components of the information handling system stored in the hand-off block;
• publish learned capabilities retrieved from the hand-off block;
• retrieve the virtual graphics browser firmware volume payload stored in the hand-off block;
• and
• dispatch a virtual graphics browser learning driver and a virtual graphics browser interpreter driver based on retrieved virtual graphics browser firmware volume payload;
• the virtual graphics browser learning driver, configured to:
• learn capabilities of a graphics library associated with the information handling system;
• and
• publish learned capabilities of the graphics library;
• and
• the virtual graphics browser interpreter driver configured to:
• interpret a user interface input based on published learned capabilities and published learned capabilities of the graphics library;
• and
• draw user interface elements on a screen based on interpreted user interface input.

A method comprising:

• locating, by a virtual graphics browser, a platform capabilities protocol published during a driver execution environment phase of an information handling system;
• reading a user interface input that includes a user interface input file or an output from a graphics library;
• if memory optimization is enabled then:
• determining coordinates of user interface elements based on a language associated with the user interface input, wherein the coordinates of the user interface elements are based on a first resolution of a first monitor associated with the information handling system;
• publishing the coordinates of the user interface elements for a pre-boot deployment application;
• and
• executing an operation based on a user interface of the pre-boot deployment application based on published coordinates, wherein the executing the operation of the user interface is performed without manual intervention;
• and
• if memory optimization is disabled then:
• generating a video buffer for drawing user interface elements on a display screen;
• publishing an output file for rendering a user interface screen of a pre-boot application by the virtual graphics browser;
• and
• rendering the user interface screen of the pre-boot application based on a published output file.
