Patent number: 10228848Abstract: Projected input and output devices adapt to a desktop environment by sensing objects at the desktop environment and altering projected light in response to the sensed objects. For instance, projection of input and output devices is altered to limit illumination against and end user's hands or other objects disposed at a projection surface. End user hand positions and motions are detected to provide gesture support for adapting a projection work space, and configurations of projected devices are stored so that an end user can rapidly recreate a projected desktop. A projector scan adjusts to limit traces across inactive portions of the display surface and to increase traces at predetermined areas, such as video windows.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2016Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: Zagorin Cave LLPInventors: Erin K. Walline, Karthikeyan Krishnakumar, Mark R. Ligameri, Rocco Ancona, Michiel Sebastiaan Emanuel Petrus Knoppert

Patent number: 10009899Abstract: A device includes a controller, a memory, and a processor. The controller receives reservation details. The reservation details includes a device identifier for a first information handling system reserved to pair with the device in response to a start of a specific period of time. The memory stores the reservation details. The processor receives a request to pair with the device during the specific period of time from the first information handling system, determines whether the first information handling system has reserved pairing with the device during the specific period of time, and if the first information handling system has reserved pairing with the device during the specific period of time, pairs the device with the first information handling system, otherwise denies the request to pair.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2015Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: Dell Products, LPInventors: Erin K.
