Door for information handling system rack

A bezel configured to mechanically couple to a housing for housing components of an information handling system may include one or more mechanical features for mechanically coupling the bezel to the housing, an illuminated element module mechanically coupled to a mechanical structure of the bezel, and a bezel connector having a plurality of pins communicatively coupled to the illuminated element module, the bezel connector configured to communicatively couple the illuminated element module to an access controller of the information handling system housed within the housing, such that the illuminated element module receives instructions from the access controller for displaying a visual behavior relating to a status of the information handling system and displays the visual behavior in response to receiving the instructions.

Dynamically illuminated element on information handling system bezel

A system, method, and computer-readable medium for validating the components and configuration of a system, comprising: identifying the system, identifying a set of components installed in the system, associating the system with a set of components installed therein, generating a system model comprised of component models for the set of components in a design configuration, comparing the system model with the system, and displaying the model or an overlay based on the model relative to the system or an image of the system and an indicator that all components are installed properly and the system is in a design configuration or an indicator that a component is installed improperly or the system is not in the design configuration.

System validator

A system, method, and computer-readable medium for accessing information associated with items within a multi-dimensional space, comprising: scanning a plurality of multi-dimensional symbols, each of the plurality of multi-dimensional symbols being scanned from a plurality of angles; identifying each of the plurality of multi-dimensional symbols for each angle; and storing information identifying each of the plurality of multi-dimensional symbols for each angle in an encoded geometry repository.

Using passively represented information to identify items within a multi-dimensional space

A system, method, and computer-readable medium for servicing a system, comprising: displaying animated content relative to the system; determining a snapshot function has been initiated; sending a request to a user of an augmented reality device with a camera to move the augmented reality device relative to the system; capturing information about components in the system and a configuration of the system; generating a three dimensional (3D) model of the system based on the captured information; and displaying a composite view of the model or an overlay based on the model and animated content related to a component.

Servicing system with snapshot function

A system, method, and computer-readable medium for modeling and diagnosing a system. System identification information captured by an AR system is used to identify the system and one or more of a model of the components of the system or an overlay of the system is retrieved from a repository or generated based on component identification information or component performance data and sent to the AR system. A composite view of the model or overlay relative to a dynamic image or model of the system allows a technician to visualize the system and components and diagnose the operation of the system without opening the system.

System and method for visualization of system components

A system, method, and computer-readable medium for performing an encoded geometry fabrication operation. In various embodiments, the encoded geometry fabrication operation comprises: identifying data to be encoded within the encoded geometry, the data to be encoded within the encoded geometry comprising a unique code to be associated with the encoded geometry; converting the data to be encoded to the encoded geometry; fabricating a part with the encoded geometry, the encoded geometry passively representing the unique code with a physical code; and, performing a computer vision operation to read the physical code of the encoded geometry, the computer vision operation confirming the unique code of the encoded geometry corresponds to the physical code of the encoded geometry.

Encoded geometry fabrication operation

A system, method, and computer-readable medium for performing a three dimensional encoded geometry fabrication operation.

A system, method, and computer-readable medium for decoding an encoded geometry. Decoding the encoded geometry includes: scanning an encoded geometry, the scanning comprising scanning a plurality of multi-dimensional symbols of the encoded geometry; identifying each of the plurality of multi-dimensional symbols; decoding each identifier multi-dimensional symbol to provide encoded geometry information; accessing an encoded geometry repository; and, retrieving data associated with the encoded geometry information.

Decoding parts with encoded geometry for retrieving passively represented information

A method for generating a matrix barcode key combination. The method includes receiving a request to secure at least a portion of data. In response to receiving the request to secure at least a portion of data, the method includes generating a matrix barcode that encodes the data, based on at least a first portion of content of the data. The method includes generating a matrix barcode key based on at least another portion of the content of the data. The method includes aligning the matrix barcode key with at least a portion of the matrix barcode to provide a matrix barcode key combination. The method includes enabling a requesting device to have access to the secured portion of encoded data, when the requesting device presents the matrix barcode key in an arrangement that aligns the matrix barcode key with the matrix barcode resulting in the matrix barcode key combination.

Generating parts with encoded geometry for passively representing information

Multi-dimensional barcodes at a product include service identifiers for the product so that an end user with a portable information handling system captures an image of the multi-dimensional barcode and extracts the service identifiers to obtain service information from a service network location. For example, a service identifier embeds a URL that links to a video demonstrating how to assemble the product. As another example, a service identifier links to a service network location and includes a unique identifier so that an end user retrieves warranty or purchase information for the product.
