Publication number: 20160313890Abstract: Plural applications present visual information at plural windows with a cursor focus at one of the windows to direct inputs to the application presenting information at the window. In response to inputs at another application associated with another window, cursor focus changes to the other application and then automatically returns to the first application and window without a user command. Automated management of cursor focus is supported with sensors that detect conditions proximate a display that presents visual information and with user settings, such as a press and hold at an application that a user desires to retain cursor focus on an automated basis.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2015Publication date: October 27, 2016Applicant: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Erin K. Walline, Rex W. Bryan, Karthik Krishnakumar

Publication number: 20160294839Abstract: An information handling system includes a processor that executes instructions for a content sharing system that has mixed operating system capabilities. The processor detects pre-paired wireless connectivity for at least one of a plurality of remotely connected computing devices and implements a role-based policy to partially limit content sharing system operation, the operation is based on a role classification. The processor also auto-initiates navigation accessibility within authorized remotely connected computing devices via the content sharing system.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2015Publication date: October 6, 2016Inventors: Erin K. Walline, Liam B. Quinn, Sean P. O'Neal

Publication number: 20160295605Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2015Publication date: October 6, 2016Inventors: Erin K.

Publication number: 20160216779Abstract: A method includes determining by a sensor of a mobile device that a first ambient sound level represents a quiet context for the mobile device, providing a audio signal to a speaker of the mobile device in response to determining that the first ambient sound level represents a quiet context, determining, by the sensor, that a second ambient sound level represents a first noisy context for the mobile device, wherein the second ambient sound level is louder than the first ambient sound level, modifying the audio signal into a beam forming audio signal in response to determining that the second ambient sound level represents the first noisy context, and providing the beam forming audio signal to the speaker.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2016Publication date: July 28, 2016Inventors: Deeder M. Aurongzeb, Erin K. Walline

Publication number: 20160196060Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2016Publication date: July 7, 2016Applicant: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Erin K. Walline, Karthikeyan Krishnakumar, Mark R. Ligameri, Rocco Ancona, Michiel Sebastiaan Emanuel Petrus Knoppert
