Patent number: 10013228Abstract: An information handling system includes a primary integrated display device housing and a second integrated display device housing attached via a hinge and a processor to determine a first relative orientation of the primary integrated display device housing to the second integrated display device housing from a plurality of orientation sensors. The processor further determines a working software application context by detecting at least a first software application running on the information handling system wherein the working software application context further includes an operating state rank of the first software application relative to other software applications.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2016Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: Dell Products, LPInventors: Deeder M. Aurongzeb, Mark W. Welker, Abu S. Sanuallah, Claude L. Cox, Joseph Kozlowski, Jorge A. Abullarade, Knut Graf, Kenneth W. Stufflebeam

Patent number: 9946373Abstract: A system and method is provided for, on a multi-display touch screen apparatus executing a single-display application program, establishing an interface between the multi-display touch screen apparatus and the single-display application program, the interface comprising a virtual display and virtual sensors, obtaining sensor data from physical sensors of the multi-display touch screen apparatus, providing at least a first subset of the sensor data to the single-display application program via the virtual sensors of the interface, specifying to the single-display application program virtual display parameters which emulate single display parameters of a single-display touch screen apparatus, receiving at the virtual display of the interface a window image to be displayed from the single-display application, and displaying the window image on at least a first one of multiple displays of the multi-display touch screen apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2014Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: Dell Products, LPInventors: Knut Graf, Abu S. Sanaullah, Deeder M. Aurongzeb, Mark W. Welker, Claude L. Cox

Patent number: 9019072Abstract: A remote control device is authorized to command the presentation of information from an information presenting device by communicating with the information presenting device by a first mode of communications while the remote control device and the information presenting device are proximate. In response to the authorizing, the information presenting device is unlocked to permit the presentation of information in response to commands from the remote control device. After the unlocking, the information presenting device presents information in response to commands from the remote control device.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2012Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Dell Products, LPInventors: Raziuddin Ali, Abu Shaher Sanaullah, Yuan-Chang Lo, Claude L. Cox, Karthikeyan Krishnakumar

Patent number: 8880884Abstract: An information handling system includes a memory and a processor to execute instructions stored in the memory, which causes the processor to at least: send identification information to a second information handling system in response to an identification request broadcast from the second information handling system via a short-range communication; receive first authentication information for a local application and a remote service from the second information handling system; receive a copy of the local application; authenticate a user for the copy of the local application and for the remote service prior to the user logging on to the information handling system; receive second authentication information from the user to access the information handling system; authenticate the user to the information handling system; and automatically initiate a secure session between the copy of the local application and the remote service when the user is authenticated to the information handling system.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2013Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Dell Products, LPInventors: Philip M. Seibert, Abu Sanaullah, Charles D. Robison, Jr., Claude L. Cox, Jason A. Shepherd
