Abstract: An information handling system mouse has input buttons at an upper surface with selectable response to an end user press. An arrangement of magnets cooperate to establish a distance for the input button to move to complete an input at a switch to provide the end user with a selected of a spring or cantilever type of input response. For example, electropermanent magnets are configured to attract or repel a permanent magnet so that the amount of input button press motion adjusts along with the resistance against an input button press.

Abstract: A portable information handling system camera module has a single shutter that slides in response to a single shutter mechanism to manage access for a field of view of both a visual camera and an infrared camera by sliding only between first and second positions, the first position aligning an opening of the shutter with a visual camera and a shield visual camera opening, the second position blocking the opening of the shutter and extending an end of the shutter over infrared camera. The shutter actuates with an electromagnet that generates a magnetic field, such as voice coil. The magnetic field is applied to a speaker magnet that causes vibration at a speaker cone to generate an audible sound.

Abstract: A portable information handling system camera module has a single shutter that slides in response to a single shutter mechanism to manage access for a field of view of both a visual camera and an infrared camera by sliding only between first and second positions, the first position aligning an opening of the shutter with a visual camera and a shield visual camera opening, the second position blocking the opening of the shutter and extending an end of the shutter over infrared camera. The shutter assembly routes power from a circuit board to the visual camera to provide secondary security for the visual camera by powering off the camera when the shutter is unlocked to move, such that manual unlocking of the shutter removes power from the visual camera even when the shutter is open.

The key cap couples to a plunger of a mechanical key switch having input detection performed in a sound isolation chamber that dampens sounds associated with key actuation. In one example embodiment, the sound isolation chamber contains a magnet that moves by magnetic attraction to a plunger magnet to contact electrical leads and complete an input detection circuit.

An ear canal feedback channel is formed extending alongside the sound output channel and operatively coupled to a microphone formed within the housing and a DSP operatively coupled to the microphone, the DSP including a voice activity detection module to detect a microphone audio data stream and discern between host audio data stream of audio played by the speaker and external ear canal noise captured in the microphone audio data stream at the microphone at the ear canal feedback channel. An audio processor receives the detected external ear canal noise and generate audio data descriptive of an opposite waveform to the detected external ear canal noise to playback and reduce the detected external ear canal noise.

Abstract: A mouse accepts button press inputs at a button on the mouse upper surface to detect an input with a switch coupled to a first support. When pressure is applied by an end user to the button after the button activates the switch, the first support rotates towards a second support and a pressure sensor detects the amount of pressure applied at the button as an input with a value that varies in a range. The pressure sensor comprises a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film with integrated silver electrodes that form upper and lower layers of capacitor electrodes to detect strain of a spring that biases the first support away from the second support.

Abstract: An information handling system peripheral, such as a mouse, accepts a cable connector in a cable port, such a USB Type-C cable connector and port. In one embodiment, the cable connector has a wireless dongle that inserts substantially flush with the cable port so that external torsional forces do not operate against the port. A magnetic toggle ejector translates an ejection force by operation of like poles to push a portion of the magnet against the cable connector and provide a grasp point for end user fingers to grasp the cable connector.

Abstract: A portable information handling system glass ceramic housing integrates plural wires on opposing sides that interface with a radio to provide a dipole antenna, such as with a radio conductor output interfaced at a wire of the interior side and a radio ground output interfaced at a wire of the exterior side. Conductive contacts interface with the wires by exposure at the glass ceramic housing interior where pogo pins of a printed circuit board assembly bias against the conductive contacts to communicate the radio signals. In one example embodiment, the conductive contacts co-locate with a logo etched into the glass ceramic housing to provide an aesthetically pleasing antenna interface that is difficult to visually detect at the glass ceramic housing exterior.

Abstract: An information handling system keyboard has plural key caps coupled to a frame with a vertical travel having a raised position defined by engagement between a stop of the frame and a key cap extension from the key cap. A fluid reservoir coupled to the key cap at the key cap extension dampens contact between the extension and stop to reduce sound generated from the keyboard at release of the keyboard key. The fluid reservoir is, for instance, an acoustic grease enclosed in membrane and integrated in the keyboard key at the extension where it aligns with the stop.

Abstract: A peripheral input device, such as a mouse and/or a keyboard, includes a thermal sensor that detects end user presence, such as with a passive infrared sensor. The peripheral input device enters a low power mode having a radio of a wireless network interface controller monitoring a user presence indication communicated from a host information handling system, such as when a user presence sensor in a dongle coupled to the information handling system detects a user and communicates the user presence indication by a wireless signal. In response, the peripheral input device monitors for the user with the thermal sensor so that the radio and other components can be powered down until a user is detected, at which time the thermal sensor is powered down and the position sensor becomes active.
