Patent number: 11347862Abstract: A credential management system for an information handling system dynamically determines an available set of authentication techniques based on a system configuration. The dynamic configuration may be based on devices connected to the information handling system, such as keyboard, fingerprint reader, and facial recognition. The dynamic configuration may also be based on a dynamic posture of the information handling system, such as whether a devices is in an open-lid, closed-lid, tent-shape, tablet-mode, or docked configuration.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2020Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Daniel Lawrence Hamlin, Charles Delbert Robison, Jr.

Patent number: 8248262Abstract: An event recognition and response system includes an event sensor. An event recognition engine is coupled to the event sensor. An action profile database is coupled to the event recognition engine. The event recognition engine is operable to receive an event input from the event sensor, compare the event input to a plurality of action profiles in the action profile database and, upon determining that at least one action profile in the action profile database matches the event input, perform a predetermined action.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2009Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Charles Delbert Robison, Jr., Douglas Evan Messick, Kyle Eric Cross
