  • Publication number: 20170185170
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for a flexible display detection system to detect movement (e.g., flexing) of a flexible display screen on a device and to interpret the movement as a gesture or selection of a device mode. Embodiments may utilize bendable sensors located adjacent to the flexible display, and may divide a display into multiple panel sections (e.g., three panels) connected to one another via hinging portions of the flexible display. Depending on the arrangement of the sections, the device may be operated in a different mode such as, for example, a tablet mode, a reader mode, or a phone mode.

  • Patent number: 9658713
    Abstract: The present application is directed to dynamic input mode selection. In general, a system may sense a user's finger approaching a surface of a display (e.g., an imminent user touch input) and, depending on at least one trigger condition, may perform at least one output operation. For example, a first trigger condition may cause a display to enlarge at least a portion of a displayed image based on the imminent user touch input, a second trigger condition may cause the display to present a menu corresponding to an object in the enlarged portion, etc. This functionality may be implemented utilizing either an operating system (OS)-aware configuration or an OS-unaware configuration. In an OS-aware configuration, an intent-to-touch (ITT) module may utilize application program interfaces (APIs) in the OS to facilitate display zooming, menu presentation, coordinate translation, etc. In an OS-unaware configuration, the ITT module may facilitate these actions without OS assistance.

  • Publication number: 20170131803
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods may include a processor configured to accept a first user data stream input from a first region of a configurable touch input display. The processor may be further configured to separately accept concurrent a second user input data stream from a second region of the configurable touch input display. Thus two or more users may concurrently input data to the display. A flexible, foldable display may be employed.

  • Publication number: 20160091924
    Abstract: A wireless gimbal connection of use with electronics devices such as computer notebooks relatively pivotable portions such as a lid and base. The gimbal includes a carriage on which transmitter and receiver chips are mounted, and further has a magnet whose magnetic forces may be used to bring the gimbaled carriage into a predetermined alignment with the base, which may be used to arrange the chips and any sensors as may be used into alignment as well. As the orientation of the lid varies with respect to the base, the carriage within seeks alignment with the base due to the magnetic forces present. Where the base is located on a flat surface, gravitational forces also contribute to the alignment.
