  • Patent number: 11804198
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus, a display control method, and an imaging apparatus for shortening a switching time of a display device that displays a video. The information processing apparatus includes a display control unit that, in a case where display of a video is switched from a first display unit to which a first video signal is input via a first bus to a second display unit to which a second video signal is input via a second bus, causes the first display unit to transition from an activated state in which operation is performed in a light-emitting state to a standby state in which operation is performed in a non-light-emitting state or a stopped state in which operation is stopped in the non-light-emitting state, and causes the second display unit to transition from the standby state or the stopped state to the activated state.

  • Patent number: 11789565
    Abstract: A lid controller hub (LCH) comprising processing components located in the lid of a mobile computing device, such as a laptop, processes sensor data generated by input sensors (microphones, cameras, touchscreen) and provides for improved and enhanced experiences over existing devices. For example, the LCH provides hardened privacy and the synchronization of touch display activities with the display refresh rate, the latter providing for a smoother and more responsive touch experience over existing designs. The LCH enables continuous gestures comprising touch gesture and in-air gesture portions as well as multi-plane gestures in which an initial touch gesture places the device into a mode or context in which it recognizes and acts upon subsequent in-air gestures. Touch operations of a mobile computing device can be based on user presence, user engagement, and a level of user interaction with the device.

  • Patent number: 11662824
    Abstract: An electronic device displaying a user interface on a display. While displaying the user interface on the display and while one or more tactile output generators of the electronic device are in a low-power state, the electronic device detects a first user interaction via the touch-sensitive surface. In response to detecting the first user interaction, the electronic device sets the one or more tactile output generators to a low-latency state. After setting the one or more tactile output generators to the low-latency state, the electronic device detects a second user interaction that is continuation of a touch input, on the touch sensitive surface, that includes the first user interaction. In response to detecting the second user interaction, the electronic device generates a tactile output that corresponds to the second user interaction.
