    摘要: System, computer implemented method and computer program product for preparing and navigating a query tree including a plurality of query nodes and informational nodes. Each query node is associated with a prompt, branching criteria and keywords. A current query node provides a prompt to a user and a user response is received and analyzed to identify branching criteria and keywords from the user response. The method navigates to another node in the query tree in consideration of the branching criteria received in the user response and a comparison between the keywords received in the user response and the keywords associated with the query nodes. The comparison may validate navigation to a destination node corresponding to the branching criteria or the comparison may indicate incorrect navigation of the query tree. Corrective navigation can be implemented in various ways based upon the keywords received in the user response.

    摘要: Power in a computer system is managed by selectively authorizing requests by devices to operate at an elevated power state. One embodiment provides a computer system having a plurality of hardware devices interchangeably operable at mutually exclusive elevated and lower power states. The lower power states may be selected by default, and the devices independently request to operate at the elevated power state for a specified duration. A power management device, such as a baseboard management controller (BMC) or a chassis management module is configured for receiving and selectively authorizing the requests from the devices to operate at the elevated power state. The power management device subsequently revokes the authorization of the devices to operate at the elevated power state to enforce a system power limit.

    摘要: Control of LCD backlighting, contrast, and video port selection with BIOS. Calls made from application programs to BIOS result in BIOS read and write operations to a distributed register in video adapters. The use of the register allows BIOS to simultaneously obtain information from multiple displays, as well as simultaneously execute hardware functions such as backlight control. In addition, use of BIOS simplifies programming of hardware related tasks such as backlight control to improve mean time between failure (MTBF) of LCD displays.

    摘要: A method and computer program product for controlling energy utilization includes receiving user activities from each of a plurality of users into one or more software application, associating each user activity with a defined workspace having one or more remotely controllable electronic devices, and controlling energy utilization of the one or more electronic devices within each defined workspace according to the user activities associated with the defined workspace. Energy utilization is reduced in a defined workspace during a time period that there is no user activity associated with the workspace. Optionally, the step of receiving user activities may include detecting that a user has logged onto a remote computer that is not located within the defined workspace, or users inputting activities into a software application, such as one or more instances of an electronic calendar.
