Abstract: A display device having a contiguous planar display is operable in a selectable mode in which the planar display has a first area functioning as a primary display and a second area coplanar with and smaller than the first area functioning as a secondary display separate from the primary display. A computing device is to operate the display device in the selectable mode by using the first area of the planar display as a primary graphical user interface (GUI) area and by using the second area of the planar display in the selectable mode as a secondary GUI area isolated from the primary GUI area.

Abstract: An example of a system includes a electronic device having a rechargeable battery, a charging module to charge the rechargeable battery and moveable between a retracted position and an extended position to provide a stand during charging of the rechargeable battery, and a communication module to wirelessly transfer and receive data during charging of the rechargeable battery.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to wireless gigabit alliance (WiGig) enabled computing systems including WiGig accessories. In one example, a WiGig accessory includes a connector to couple the WiGig accessory to a universal serial bus (USB) port of a computing device that is separate and distinct from the WiGig accessory, and a WiGig component to form a WiGig enabled communication system having a wireless peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) communication capability when coupled to the computing device.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods are disclosed for blocking a power-transition. The method discloses: receiving a power-transition signal; monitoring a present-state of the computer; comparing the present-state of the computer, to a predetermined set of blocked power-transition states; and blocking the power-transition signal from being effected, if the present-state of the computer corresponds to one of the blocked power-transition states. The system discloses: blocked power-transition states; a power control module, and a power control circuit. The apparatus discloses: a blocking switch, and a power control module.
