Abstract
In one embodiment a method of remotely communicating with an information handling system may include a first processing device executing one or more diagnostic routines in response to an error signal corresponding to a failure of an integrated display of a first information handling system. The first processing device may establish a peer to peer connection. The first information handling system may connect remotely to a second information handling system via the peer to peer connection. A web browser of the second information handling system may receive and display a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) page that may include an error description and a diagnostic log corresponding to the failure of the integrated display.
Claims18
A method of remotely communicating with an information handling device comprising:
- executing, with a first processing device, one or more diagnostic routines in response to an error signal corresponding to a failure of an integrated display of a first information handling device;
- establishing, via the first processing device, a peer to peer connection;
- connecting remotely from the first information handling device to a second information handling device via the peer to peer connection;
- and
- displaying a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) page in a web browser of the second information handling device, wherein the HTML page comprises an error description and a diagnostic log corresponding to the failure of the integrated display.
A remote diagnostic apparatus comprising:
- a first information handling device having an integrated display;
- and
- a first processing device of the first information handling device, wherein the first processing device:
- executes one or more diagnostic routines in response to an error signal corresponding to a failure of the integrated display;
- and
- establishes a peer to peer connection.
A remote diagnostic system comprising:
- a first information handling device having an integrated display;
- a first processing device of the first information handling device, wherein the first processing device:
- executes one or more diagnostic routines in response to an error signal corresponding to a failure of the integrated display;
- and
- establishes a peer to peer connection;
- and
- a second information handling device communicatively connected to a same local network as the first information handling device, wherein:
- the second information handling device remotely connects to the first information handling device via the peer to peer connection;
- a browser of the second information handling device receives a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) page from the first information handling device;
- and
- the browser displays the HTML page on the second information handling device, wherein the HTML page comprises an error description and a diagnostic log corresponding to the failure of the integrated display.
