Abstract: Feature discovery includes determining what a user is doing or trying to do with respect to a computer platform from situational awareness information relating to the user's use of the platform. Feature discovery logic is applied to the situational awareness information and personalized user information to determine (a) when to present information to the user regarding a platform feature or features relevant to what the user is doing or trying to do, (b) what information to present to the user regarding the feature(s), and (c) how to best present the information to the user with a user interface. After the user interface presents the information regarding the platform feature(s) the feature discovery logic, personalized user information, or situational awareness information are updated according to the user's response to presentation of the information.

Abstract: In customized audio attenuation a computer system generates audible sounds in one or more frequency ranges from electronic signals. An audiogram for a listener is inferred from the listener's response to the audible sounds and an attenuation profile is determined from the audiogram. The attenuation profile includes an attenuation level for each of the one or more frequency ranges. Each attenuation level is inversely related to the listener's sensitivity to hearing sounds in the corresponding frequency range. Subsequent signals or data corresponding to subsequent audible sounds in the one or more frequency ranges are generated. The attenuation profile is applied to the subsequent signals to generate attenuated signals and the attenuated signals are transmitted to an audio transducer.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for automated visual setting importation is disclosed. A first application running on a first device requests a vision setting for a second application. A vision setting of the first application running on a first device is determined to correspond to the vision setting for the second application. The vision setting for the second application is then applied to the corresponding vision setting of the first application.

Abstract: An embodiment provides a method, including: detecting, via a wearable information handling device, a user motion; processing, via the wearable information handling device, the user motion into user motion data; determining, using a processor, that the user motion data is handwriting input; and converting, using the processor, the user motion data into a digital handwriting input. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: For directing voice input based on eye tracking, a method is disclosed that includes receiving, by use of a processor, an audio signal, the audio signal comprising voice input, selecting a location from the group consisting of a computing device and an application being displayed on a screen of the computing device, the location being detected where a user's eyes are directed, and directing the voice input to the selected location.

Abstract: For appending a user identifier to an image, code records a user identity input from an input device in response to a principle camera recording a principle image. In addition, the code generates a user identifier from the user identity input. The code further appends the user identifier to the principle image.

Abstract: For low power environment management for an automobile, a method is disclosed that includes sensing an environmental condition at an automobile, comparing a level of the environmental condition to a selected threshold value, and adjusting the opening of one or more windows of the automobile based on the sensed environmental condition.

Abstract: In one aspect, a device includes a processor, at least one lens accessible to the processor, and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to receive synchronization information from another device, and based on the synchronization information, actuate the at least one lens to permit visible light to pass therethrough at times at which first frames of first content are presented and not at times that second frames different from the first frames for second content different from the first content are presented.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for context-sensitive password generation. The inspection module may accept entry of at least a new portion of a password by a user into a security mechanism and determine a dynamic parameter candidate within the password. The analysis module may recommend to the user a context-sensitive interpretation of the dynamic parameter candidate. The confirmation module may receive a selection by the user of the context-sensitive interpretation.

Abstract: In one aspect, a device includes a processor and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to determine that a portion of audio has been skipped a threshold number of times, and in response to the determination that the portion of the audio has been skipped the threshold number of times, skip the portion without input from a user to skip the portion upon a subsequent presentation of the audio.

Abstract: For appending a user identifier to an image, code records a user identity input from an input device in response to a principle camera recording a principle image. In addition, the code generates a user identifier from the user identity input. The code further appends the user identifier to the principle image.
