  • Patent number: 11474580
    Abstract: In an example, a biometric sensor, includes a first communication interface to receive information associated with an enumeration of the biometric sensor from a host, a second communication interface, and input sensing circuitry to detect an input signal at the biometric sensor. The biometric sensor further includes a controller to, in response to detecting the input signal, transmit a message to wake up the host via the second communication interface, and in response to receiving an indication that a lid of the host has closed, control operation of the biometric sensor by placing the biometric sensor in a low power state.

  • Patent number: 11356590
    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein provide an image capture device. As an example, the image capture device includes an image sensor, a shutter, and a touch-enabled layer disposed above the image sensor. A controller of the image capture device is to register a user touch interaction with the touch-enabled layer and, based on a gesture detected from the user touch interaction, cycle between engaging the shutter to cover the image sensor and disengaging the shutter to expose the image sensor.

  • Patent number: 11216042
    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein provide a computing device. One example computing device includes a first member including a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, and a second member including a third surface and a fourth surface opposite the third surface, wherein the second member is rotatably connected to the first member. The computing device includes a kickstand rotatably connected to the fourth surface of the second member at a first end of the kickstand. The computing device includes magnetic members to magnetically couple the second surface of the first member with a second end of the kickstand opposite the first end of the kickstand. As an example, when the computing device is to change from a first operation mode to a second operation mode, the kickstand is to move along the second surface of the first member via the magnetic coupling.
