US 2025/0094362 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MANAGING AN OPTIMAL PORT SETUP FOR WORKSPACES

Abstract

Systems and methods of managing an optimal port setup for workspaces are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to: obtain information for a plurality of peripheral devices coupled to at least some of a plurality of ports of the IHS in a first configuration; and recommend a second configuration for connecting one or more of the plurality of peripheral devices to one or more of the plurality of ports of the IHS based, at least in part, on the information.

Claims20

Dependent claims

An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:

a processor;
and
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to:
obtain information for a plurality of peripheral devices coupled to at least some of a plurality of ports of the IHS in a first configuration;
and
recommend a second configuration for connecting one or more of the plurality of peripheral devices to one or more of the plurality of ports of the IHS based, at least in part, on the information.

3 more elements

A method, comprising:

obtaining actual speed information for a plurality of peripheral devices coupled to at least some of a plurality of ports of an Information Handling System (IHS) in a first configuration;
and
recommending a second configuration for connecting one or more of the plurality of peripheral devices to one or more of the plurality of ports based, at least in part, on the actual speed information.

A memory storage device having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a processor, cause the processor to:

obtain real-time speed, priority, and power information for at least one of a plurality of peripheral devices coupled to at least a first one of a plurality of ports of an Information Handling System (IHS);
and
recommend that the at least one peripheral device be coupled to at least a second one of the plurality of ports based, at least in part, on the real-time speed, priority, and power information.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
