Abstract
Systems and methods for accident detection and handling are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include an Embedded Controller (EC), and a memory coupled to, or integrated into, the EC, where the memory comprises program instructions that, upon execution by the EC, cause the EC to receive data from a sensor and, in response to the data being indicative of an accident, perform an action.
Claims17
An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:
- an Embedded Controller (EC);
- and
- a memory coupled to, or integrated into, the EC, wherein the memory comprises program instructions that, upon execution by the EC, cause the EC to:
- receive data from a sensor;
- and
- in response to the data being indicative of an accident, perform an action;
- wherein the accident comprises at least one of:
- a drop, a fall, a throw, a hit, a crash, an impact, or a collision involving the IHS or a component thereof;
- wherein the action comprises triggering a mitigation or remediation command;
- and
- wherein the mitigation or remediation command comprises a command to change a configuration of a cooling fan, and wherein the configuration change comprises at least one of:
- turning the cooling fan on or off, or modifying the cooling fan's speed of frequency of operation.
