Abstract: Methods and systems for providing computer implemented services using user input are disclosed. To obtain the user input, a passive human interface device may be used. The human interface device may include a magnet that may produce a magnetic field used to discern the user input. The magnet may be mechanically coupled to actuatable portions of the human interface device thereby facilitating both translation and rotation of the magnet responsive to actuations by a user. The translation and rotation of the magnet may be sensed and used to identify user input provided by the user. Sensing elements integrated into a keyboard may be used to obtain user input from the human interface device.

The human interface device may include a magnet that may produce a magnetic field used to discern the user input. The magnet may be mechanically coupled to actuatable portions of the human interface device thereby encoding information regarding both of changes in position of the human interface device and actuations of the actuatable portions into a magnetic field emanating from the human interface device. Sensing elements integrated into a sensing system may be used to sense the emanating magnetic field to obtain user input from the human interface device.

Abstract: Security on an information handling system may be improved by using a stylus. A stylus provides unique information about a user that may not be acquired by an information handling system through other methods. For example, a user's handwriting is often unique to that user and may provide a security check on the information handling system to confirm the user's identity. Further, the stylus is usually held in the user's hand and may be used to check the user's fingerprint to confirm the user's identity. These authentication techniques, including fingerprinting and handwriting, may be used to maintain persistent authentication while the user is using the stylus. As the user continues to interact with the information handling system with the stylus, the stylus continues to receive the user's fingerprint and handwriting, which may be checked to confirm the user of the information handling system is still the expected user.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing computer implemented services using user input are disclosed. To obtain the user input, a human interface device may be used. Interpretation of actuation of the human interface device may be customized to the types of actuations that users are able to perform. To customize the types of the actuations, users may perform actuations of the human interface device for various types of user input to establish associations between the actuations and the user input. The associations may be used to train an inference model usable to identify user input based on performed actions of the human interface device.
