Publication number: 20190057550Abstract: An augmented reality workspace system includes a physical display device, a user tracking subsystem, and an augmented reality display subsystem, all coupled to a computing system. The computing system uses the augmented reality display subsystem to display an augmented reality element that appears located in a three-dimensional volume immediately adjacent the physical display device as viewed through the augmented reality display subsystem, and uses the physical display device to display a two-dimensional element in a manner that is coordinated with the augmented reality element displayed using the augmented reality display subsystem.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2017Publication date: February 21, 2019Inventors: Deeder M. Aurongzeb, Michiel Sebastiaan Emanuël Petrus Knoppert

Patent number: 10133355Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: March 21, 2014Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Abu Shaher Sanaullah, Erin K.

Patent number: 10108337Abstract: An information handling system input device coordinates presentation of keyboard augmentation panels proximate a keyboard resting on a horizontally-disposed touchscreen display. The keyboard augmentation panels relate keyboard and other inputs to an application active on the information handling system to enhance end user interactions. A keyboard augmentation module tracks the keyboard position on the touchscreen display to adapt content presentation in the keyboard augmentation panels based upon expected end user inputs. In other embodiments, other physical devices are augmented to have hybrid graphical interfaces that enhance multi-hand end user interactions.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2016Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Mark R.

Publication number: 20180267762Abstract: An information handling system presents visual images at plural display devices and moves the visual images at the display devices responsive to touches made at one or more of the display devices with movement managed in a point mode or a touch mode as selected by one or more predetermined inputs. In the touch mode, the visual image moves as the touch moves. At detection of the predetermined input to select the point mode, the visual image moves a greater distance than the touch movement so that the end user is able to move the visual image between separate display devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2017Publication date: September 20, 2018Applicant: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Deeder M.

Patent number: 10007378Abstract: An information handling system touchscreen discriminates touches with a tool discriminator before analyzing the touches with a touch discriminator that identifies touches as intended or unintended inputs. The tool discriminator isolates touches associated with tools to assign tool functions to tool touches so that touch discriminator analysis is bypassed for tools, thus providing a more rapid and accurate horizontal workspace having tools placed on the touchscreen.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2016Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Mark R.

Patent number: 9983717Abstract: Inputs to a projected or other type of displayed user interface are verified with a verification device that enhances input detection accuracy. For example, inputs at a projected keyboard are detected by an infrared curtain projected over the keyboard and breached by an end user finger as it strikes a key. The inputs are verified with a capacitive sensor device disposed below the keyboard that confirms a user touch. Alternatively, proximity sensing by the capacitive sensor measures distance and velocity associated with a finger to verify the inputs detected by breaching of the infrared curtain are intended inputs. Other verification devices may include an accelerometer that detects accelerations associated with inputs and three dimensional cameras that capture finger positions. Verification devices may be selectively enabled based upon power and accuracy constraints.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2015Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Roman J. Pacheco, Rocco Ancona, Christophe Daguet, Michiel Sebastiaan Emanuel Petrus Knoppert, Abu S. Sanaullah

Patent number: 9921644Abstract: A non-linear user interface display presented at a desktop conforms to dimensions of a user detected by a depth camera, such as by presenting the user interface along an arc having a radius determined from a reach of the user detected by the depth camera. Windows presented in the arc vary in size based upon their position relative to a user focus, such as by detecting a user gaze direction or by comparing position to a central display mat. User gestures control presentation of visual images in the arc, such rotating visual image windows in a circular manner around the arc radius and to different orientations in the arc relative to the user.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2015Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Christophe Daguet, Roman J.
