  • Publication number: 20200341586
    Abstract: Implementations described herein provide a component system that reconfigures interchangeable computing device components based on a current state of the computing device. The current state of the computing device is determined based on a hardware configuration of the device, a shell configuration describing software and firmware of the device, and/or context information describing a relationship between the device and its surrounding environment. Based on the current state of the computing device, an output is determined that specifies interchangeable components are to be activated and deactivated. The output is useable to reconfigure individual computing device functionalities, control a manner in which applications execute on the computing device, and adapt the computing device to its current state.

  • Patent number: 10795510
    Abstract: In one example, a method for detecting input can include detecting a capacitive pattern from a physical object and detecting that the physical object is a passive physical object. The method can also include determining a plurality of characteristics corresponding to the passive physical object based on the capacitive pattern, wherein the plurality of characteristics comprise a type of the physical object and a capability of the physical object. Additionally, the method can include modifying an application manager to detect input from the passive physical object based on the plurality of characteristics and modifying a user interface setting detected from the capacitive pattern.

  • Patent number: 10782800
    Abstract: A digital inking device can automatically adapt its interaction modality to provide contextually relevant status information and contextually relevant user interface control elements based on a user's activity. An interaction model of a digital inking device can automatically adapt the display of particular control user interface control elements and particular status indicators based on one or more factors. For example, a digital inking device can select an interaction model from a number of interaction models based on a way a digital inking device is held by a user, a fingerprint of a user, an angle and/or distance of a digital inking device with respect to a paired computer, a particular grip a user has on a digital inking device, an amount of pressure that is used to hold a digital inking device, a contact pressure between a digital inking device and a paired computer, and/or one more gestures performed by a user.
