Information handling system with a mechanism to offload contextual sensing data

A method comprising:

• while an information handling system is receiving power from an external charger and in a lid-closed state:
• collecting, by a sensor hub of the information handling system, sensing data associated with the information handling system;
• receiving, by an embedded controller of the information handling system, a power state for the information handling system;
• receiving, by the embedded controller, a trigger event notification from the sensor hub;
• in response to the trigger event notification, generating a contextual data set based on a combination of the power state and a trigger event associated with the trigger event notification, wherein the contextual data set includes first data associated with the power state and the sensing data associated with the trigger event;
• and
• storing, by the embedded controller, the contextual data set, wherein the contextual data set is utilized during a no-post/no-video (NP-NV) event in the information handling system, wherein the contextual data set is stored as a telemetry entry identifying a root cause of the issue.

An information handling system comprising:

• a plurality of physical sensors to provide a trigger event notification;
• a sensor hub to collect sensing data associated with the information handling system and to receive the trigger event notification;
• and
• an embedded controller to communicate with the sensor hub, while the information handling system is receiving power from an external charger and in a lid-closed state, the embedded controller to:
• receive a power state for the information handling system;
• receive the trigger event notification from the sensor hub;
• in response to the trigger event notification, generate a contextual data set based on a combination of the power state and a trigger event associated with the trigger event notification, wherein the contextual data set includes first data associated with the power state and the sensing data associated with the trigger event;
• and
• determine whether a side band communication path is available between the information handling system and an external device;
• and
• in response to the side band communication path being available, store the contextual data set in a first memory of the external device, wherein the contextual data set is utilized during a no-post/no-video (NP-NV) event in the information handling system, wherein the contextual data set is stored as a telemetry entry identifying a root cause of the issue;
• and
• in response to the side band communication path not being available, store the contextual data set in a second memory within the information handling system.
