US 2009/0222832 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ENABLING RESOURCES WITHIN AN INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM

Abstract

A system and method of enabling resources within an information handling system is disclosed. In one form, an information handling system can include an event detection module operable to detect user initiated events and non-user initiated events. The information handling system can also include a resource allocation module coupled to the event detection module. In one form, the resource allocation module can be operable to map a first detected event to a first operating state of a first processing system. The information processing system can also include a second processing system responsive to the resource allocation module and operable to access a shared resource of the first processing system. The resource allocation module can be configured to initiate an outputting of information intended to be output by the second processing system using a shared resource of the first processing system.

An information handling system comprising:

an event detection module operable to detect a user initiated event and a non-user initiated event;
a resource allocation module coupled to the event detection module, the resource allocation module operable to map a first detected event to a first operating state of a first processing system;
a second processing system responsive to the resource allocation module and operable to access a shared resource of the first processing system;
and
wherein the resource allocation module is configured to initiate an outputting of information intended to be output by the second processing system using a shared resource of the first processing system.

An information handling system comprising:

a first processing system including:
a first host processor operable to process information using a first set of available resources, wherein the first set of available resources includes:
a shared display resource including a memory device storing a display resolution value;
and
a shared input device resource configured to receive inputs via a shared operating environment and a non-shared operating environment;
a second processing system including:
a second host processor operable to process information to output via the first processing system;
and
a video translation module operable to access the display resolution value to format the information to output using the shared display;
an event detection module configured to detect user activated events and non-user activated events, the event detection module further configured to initiate access to the first processing system using a portion of the second processing system;
and
a resource allocation module operable to determine available resources of the first processing system and the second processing system.
