  • Publication number: 20210197079
    Abstract: A game controller has first and second controller housings having an attachment guide structure that detachably couples to an attachment tab structure disposed on opposing sides of an information handling system and a bridge. Input devices of the controller housing communicate directly with the information handling system through opposing pins and pads disposed in the attachment features or indirectly by communicating with the bridge through opposing pins and pads so the bridge communicates with the information handling system. The attachment guide structure has opposing lips with plural slots that pass tabs of the attachment tab structure through so that a sliding motion engages the tabs behind the lips.

  • Publication number: 20210197082
    Abstract: A game controller has first and second controller housings that detachably couple to an information handling system and a bridge to communicate inputs by plural input devices directly with the information handling system or indirectly by communicating with the bridge so the bridge communicates with the information handling system. The information handling system operates in a handheld mode with game controller input devices, such as joysticks and triggers, coupled for use at opposing sides of the information handling system housing, or in a standalone mode with the game controllers detached from the information handling system and attached to a bridge so that the bridge communicates the controller inputs to the information handling system. Attachment of a game controller to a bridge or information handling system is aided with opposing polarity magnets at proper alignment.

  • Patent number: 10725505
    Abstract: A portable information handling system housing rotationally couples first and second housing portions with a hinge assembly that provides a variable distance between the housing portions, such as with first and second axles move together and apart or with a main bracket having telescoping members on opposing sides that provide rotation about a minor axis. Increased distance between the housing portions may accommodate a keyboard disposed between the housing portions or provide extra space if an object is placed between the housing portions so that a display integrated in the housing is not damaged.

  • Patent number: 9959995
    Abstract: Disclosed systems provide keyboard backlighting from organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) placed under the keys. A keyboard stack optionally includes a light guide or reflector. A single OLED can illuminate multiple keys through a light guide. OLEDs used for backlighting may be arranged in a strip to illuminate more than one key. OLEDs can be deposited directly to the light guide or reflector, and can include a seal to promote air stability.

  • Patent number: 9230459
    Abstract: An information handling system display frame disposed at the periphery of a display blends display and ambient light to provide a transitional zone for viewing of the display in ambient lighting conditions. A semi-scattering material absorbs light from the display and the ambient environment and scatters the light through the frame. A semi-reflective material directs at least some of the scattered light out of the frame so provide an appearance of the frame that transitions between displayed visual images of the display and the ambient light environment.

  • Patent number: 7595984
    Abstract: A support tray with fold-away handles is disclosed. When the support tray (which may be used to support a printed circuit board) is installed into a computer chassis, the handles are put into an upright position in which the handles extend above the support tray. In this position, the handles can be held by a user to easily lower the support tray into the chassis. When the support tray is not installed in a chassis (e.g. when the support tray is being shipped), the handles are put into a fold-away position in which the handles are situated underneath the support tray. This enables the support tray to maintain a low profile when the handles are not in use.
