  • Information handling system totem with frictional tethering
    Patent number: 11010043
    Abstract: An information handling system totem input device maintains position on an articulating touchscreen display by selectively engaging friction members at the totem bottom surface with the touchscreen display surface. A capacitive sensor integrated in the totem senses end user touch and/or proximity to extend the friction members when an end user releases the totem. In one embodiment, the amount of extension and associated frictional resistance provided by the friction members adjusts based upon lateral acceleration sensed by accelerometers in the totem or in the display.
