  • Patent number: 12602156
    Abstract: A portable information handling system palm rest adjacent a mechanical keyboard includes a touch detection surface to accept end user touches as inputs to the information handling system and a force detection sensor to detect pressure associated with the touches. A touch row function defined in an upper strip of the touch detection surface interacts with function key value icons presented at a main display to accept function key row inputs in the place of mechanical function keys of the keyboard. Logic executing on a processing resource compares touch areas with associated pressures to differentiate intentional inputs from unintentional inputs, such as a palm resting on the palm rest.

  • Patent number: 12493366
    Abstract: A portable information handling system includes a touch function row between a keyboard and a display that accepts touches at plural locations to initiate an on-screen-display user interface for a selected of plural functions based upon a touch location. A sliding movement at the touch function row commands presentation of plural function input keys at the display having one of the plural function input keys highlighted when the sliding movement touch corresponds to a touch location of the input key. The on-screen-display user interface presents different control interfaces when touches include multiple fingers and drag versus non-drag inputs, such as by automatically applying a submenu control to the simultaneous touch, like changing speaker volume and toggling a microphone between mute and unmute.
