  • Patent number: 12659425
    Abstract: In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a video camera to capture images, a proximity sensor to measure a distance of a moving object from the video camera, and a processor communicatively coupled to the video camera and the proximity sensor. The processor is to execute a video call application, detect the moving object within the video images transmitted by the video call application, determine that the moving object is located at a distance greater than a distance threshold, and remove the moving object from the video images transmitted by the video call application in response to the distance of the moving object being located being greater than the distance threshold.

  • Patent number: 12585307
    Abstract: A method for conducting electronic meetings using retractable displays, includes receiving by a conference hub including a retractable display, an electronic meeting agenda for an electronic meeting. The method includes identifying a position of a retractable display by extrapolating contextual information from the received electronic meeting agenda, by identifying a selection of a display included in the received electronic meeting agenda, or combinations thereof. The method also includes initiating the electronic meeting by preparing the retractable display in the identified position.

  • Patent number: 12386394
    Abstract: According to an example, a computing device comprises a base portion and a lid portion rotatably coupled to the base portion. The lid portion comprises a platform, an aperture to receive the platform, and a flexible display panel disposed on the platform. Upon a deployment of the platform, an area of the flexible display panel on an upper side of lid portion is to increase such that the area overlaps with the base portion.

  • Publication number: 20230334631
    Abstract: An example non-transitory machine-readable medium includes instructions to capture a first image of a scene that includes light emitted by a display device, change a brightness of the display device, capture a second image of the scene while the brightness of the display device is changed, train a machine-learning model with the first image and the second image to provide a filter to reduce glare, and apply the machine-learning model to a third image captured of the scene to reduce glare in the third image, which is different from the first and second images.
