Abstract: A sensor measures an environmental factor in an ambient environment immediately surrounding an information handling system. A processor determines that the information handling system is in a first location, provides a first sampling frequency of the sensor based upon the first location, determines that the information handling system is in a second location, and provides a second sampling frequency of the sensor based upon the second location. The first sampling frequency is different from the second sampling frequency.

Abstract: An information handling system includes location sensor circuitry and a processor. The location sensor circuitry determines location data for the information handling system. The processor receives a unique session tag from a cloud server. The unique session tag is utilized to identify individuals associated with an event. The processor also provides the location data for the information handling system and the unique session tag to the cloud server. The processor receives one or more proposed destination points for the event from the cloud server. The processor receives a selection of one of the proposed destination points, and provides the selected destination point to the individuals associated with the event.

Abstract: An information handling system includes a battery, an embedded controller, and a processor. The embedded controller collects a battery charge status for the battery, and provides the battery charge status to the processor. The processor also receives data indicating a current battery discharge rate. The processor determines a second battery discharge rate based on operations to be performed during a period of time. The processor also determines a needed battery charge level at a start of the period of time. Based on the battery charge status, the current battery discharge rate, the second battery discharge rate, and the needed battery charge level, the processor sets the information handling system in a state to achieve the battery charge level.

Abstract: An information handling system includes a fan to cool a component of the information handling system, and a sensor device. The fan includes a first fan inlet, a second fan inlet, and a fan outlet. The fan is configured to draw air into the first and second fan inlets and to blow air out the fan outlet. The sensor device includes a sensor inlet, a sensor outlet, and a cover. The sensor is coupled to the fan with the first fan inlet collocated with the sensor outlet such that air drawn into the first fan inlet is first drawn through the sensor inlet. The cover is configured in a first position to cover the sensor inlet to permit no air flow through the sensor inlet and in a second position to uncover the sensor inlet to permit air to flow through the sensor inlet.

Abstract: An information handling system includes a first display device having a touch-sensitive surface capable of detecting a stylus. The stylus may communicate with the first display device via the touch-sensitive surface. A processor copies content from the touch-sensitive surface to a first memory of the first display device, and stores an identifier key and a public key that are both associated with the first display device to a second memory. The processor may also establish a secure communication link between the first display device and a second display device using the identifier key and the public key, and paste the content from the first memory to the second display device using the stylus.

Abstract: An information handling system touchscreen display detects touches at a touch detection surface as inputs to the information handling system to report as inputs to an embedded controller. An embedded controller detects placement of a keyboard on the touchscreen display in a forward position and in response commands an infrared position detector to activate to detect finger movement at a virtual touchpad disposed external to the information handling system housing. A microphone disposed proximate the virtual touchpad detects end user taps as inputs and a projector disposed proximate the virtual touchpad illuminates a boundary of the virtual touchpad. When the keyboard is moved from the forward position to a rearward position, a virtual touchpad may be presented on the display and the infrared position detector may be deactivated.

Abstract: An application framework for mobile devices may provide a variety of application modules directed towards enterprise brand extension. The application modules are organized into five main categories: (1) featured, (2) community, (3) play/engage, (4) media, and (5) shop. The “featured” category may allow enterprises to push specific content onto its consumers. The “community” category may allow enterprises to leverage social networks and consumer communities that build and expand around their brands. The “play/engage” category may allow enterprises to offer compelling value and engaging utility to its customers. The “media” category may allow enterprises to entertain, inform, and educate consumers about brands through media content. The “shop” category may allow enterprises to facilitate electronic commerce with its customers. Further application analytics may be utilized by aggregating affiliate, sales, or usage data, etc.

Abstract: Methods and systems for interactive user interface objects are provided. The user interface allows for users to manipulate different objects represented by icons within a user interface, such as that of an iPhone or iPad or other touch screen devices. Users may bump objects together, flick one object towards another, bump an object against the edge of a screen, flick an object towards a certain area such as a dock, or otherwise manipulate the objects. The user's actions or manipulations of objects may result in an action by the objects or may have no effect. Depending on the compatibility of objects, the objects may be neutral towards one another, may attract each other, or may repel. The objects that attract may share content or communicate with each other via a one-time interaction, or may establish links or connections with each other that enable longer term communication or broadcasts that occur upon pre-determined triggers.
