Patent number: 9934044Abstract: Systems, methods and products directed toward creating device preloads via employing base and additional operating system content. One aspect includes communicating an aspect of an information handling device, and assimilating additional operating system content at the information handling device responsive to communication of the aspect of the device, the additional operating system content deriving from a repository separate from the information handling device, wherein a base operating system and additional operating system content combine to form a unitary device operating system. Other embodiments are described herein.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2012Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Rod D. Waltermann, Nathan J. Peterson, Richard Paul Cornwell, Bruce Douglas Gress, Jun Li

Publication number: 20180059863Abstract: In one aspect, a device includes a processor, a visible light detector, an infrared (IR) detector, a projector, and storage accessible to the processor. The storage bears instructions executable by the processor to actuate the projector to project calibration images onto a projected whiteboard location and receive, from the visible light detector, at least one image of the calibration images. The instructions are also executable to receive at least one image of an IR emitter on a pen from the IR detector and calibrate a location of the IR emitter with respect to the projected whiteboard using the at least one image from the visible light detector and at least one image of an emitter on the pen.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2016Publication date: March 1, 2018Inventors: Scott Wentao Li, Bruce Douglas Gress, Shayesteh Kamrani Sims, David Williams Higgins
