Abstract: In an example, there is disclosed a two-in-one tablet computer, including: a tablet, including a microprocessor, a memory, a touchscreen, a solid-state disk drive, a primary battery, and a Microsoft Windows operating system; a detachable keyboard, including a magnetic hinge to magnetically snap the detachable keyboard to the tablet, circuitry to communicatively dock the detachable keyboard to the tablet via the magnetic hinge, and a secondary battery, wherein the magnetic hinge is configured to yield to one-handed human force to unsnap the tablet from the detachable keyboard; and a software monitor including instructions to determine that the detachable keyboard has been unsnapped from the tablet, and perform a software decoupling.

Abstract: There is disclosed a system and method for safely undocking a detachable keyboard or other peripheral from a convertible tablet without the use of an explicit undock key on the peripheral.

Abstract: In an example, there is disclosed a hybrid tablet computing device comprising a tablet member configured to dock to a base member. The base member may include peripherals and other elements to augment the functionality of the tablet member. While docked, the base and tablet may operate in a cooperative mode, while undocking the tablet from the base places the tablet in an independent mode. A user's intent to undock may be inferred by natural interactions, including for example a user gripping the tablet along its top edge while simultaneously placing a hand over a trackpad on the base. If an undocking intent is inferred but the user does not complete the docking process within a timeout period, the tablet may redock and enter the cooperative mode.

Abstract: Systems and methods of controlling display device are provided. A representative system includes a control circuit and a register. The control circuit, which is coupled to the display device, alternately enables and disables driving of the display device by referring to a first control value and a second control value to keep an image shown on the display device. The register, which is coupled to the control circuit, stores the first control value and the second control value.
