Mitac Computing Technology Assigned Patent

Mitac Computing Technology Corporation, Taoyuan, Taiwan, has been assigned a patent (10,002,054) developed by Yang, Shun-Chieh, Taoyuan, Taiwan, for a “method and system for performing automatic system recovery.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A method for performing automatic system recovery is implemented by a server including a control chipset and a baseboard management controller, (BMC). In the method, when a current image file is corrupted, a recovery engine generates an indicator of a version of the current image file and transmits the indicator to the BMC. The BMC then transmits a request for a backup image file to an external electronic device. After the BMC receives file link information of a disk image file from the electronic device, the BMC accesses the electronic device to download the disk image file, and mounts the disk image file as a virtual disk on the BMC. Afterward, the recovery engine replaces the current image file with the disk image file from the virtual disk.”

The patent application was filed on August 16, 2016 (15/238,344).
