System and Method for Mapping Platform Configuration Human Interface Infrastructure Data to System Attributes for Local and Remote System Management
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method comprising:
- determining a first portion of a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) configuration language string, the first portion identifying a Human Interface Infrastructure (HII) configuration attribute;
determining a second portion of the string including a first attribute modifier, the first attribute modifier including a first name-value pair identifying a first name and a first value, wherein the first name and the first value are individually parsable, and wherein the meaning of the first value is determined based on the first name; and
storing the string at an HII string package of an HII database, wherein the string is uniquely referenced by an HII string identifier, and wherein storing the string comprises storing the string at a memory device.

Abstract
A first portion of a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) configuration language string is determined, the first portion identifying an Human Interface Infrastructure (HII) configuration attribute. A second portion of the string is determined and includes a first attribute modifier. The first attribute modifier includes a first name-value pair identifying a first name and a first value. The first name and the first value are individually parsable, and the meaning of the first value is determined based on the first name. The string is stored at a HII string package of an HII database. An HII string identifier uniquely references the string.
