Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, methods, and program products are disclosed for indicating a connection to a printer. A signal reception module receives a signal at a printer of a plurality of printers from an information handling device. The signal requests an indication that the information handling device is connected to the printer. An indication type module determines a type of indication to provide based on the received signal. An indicator provider module provides an indication of the determined type from the printer that indicates the information handling device is connected to the printer.

Abstract: For automatically adjusting a vehicle light level based on a viewing location of an occupant, a system, apparatus, method, and computer program product are disclosed. The apparatus, in one embodiment, includes an image sensor, an occupant viewing location module that determines an illuminable region corresponding to a viewing location of a vehicle occupant based on data from the image sensor, a light level module that determines a light level for the illuminable region, and an illumination control module that adjusts an illumination setting of at least one light associated with the illuminable region based on the determined light level. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes an occupant recognition module that identifies the vehicle occupant, wherein the light level module determines the light level based on the identity of the vehicle occupant.

Abstract: An apparatus for performing a disruptive task based on a user state is disclosed. The apparatus may include a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor to identify a disruptive task to be performed at the apparatus.

Abstract: For preventing messages from being sent to an unintended recipient, an apparatus for indicating a message recipient is disclosed. The apparatus may include a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor, including code that identifies an active messaging interface from among a plurality of messaging interfaces, identifies a correspondent associated with the active messaging interface, and temporarily provides a message recipient cue based on the identified correspondent in response to a user writing to the active messaging interface. The apparatus may remove the message recipient cue in response to expiration of a predetermined interval. The apparatus may further retrieve the visual indicator from a local database, a server, and/or the identified recipient. Additionally, the apparatus may identify the active messaging interface based on a viewing location and/or on a cursor location. A method and computer program product also perform the functions of the apparatus.

Abstract: In one aspect, a first device includes a processor and storage accessible to the processor. The storage bears instructions executable by the processor to receive input from a water heater meter that monitors a water heater and provide an output comprising information pertaining to a time estimate related to the provisioning of heated water based on the input.

Abstract: In one aspect, a device includes at least one processor, a display accessible to the at least one processor, and a memory accessible to the at least one processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to detect first eye input to a first location on a user interface (UI) presented on the display, identify at least two selector elements as at least being presented on the display proximate to the first location, and present a magnification interface on the UI. The magnification interface comprises a larger rendition of the at least two selector elements relative to presentation of the at least two selector elements on the UI prior to the detection of the first eye input.

Abstract: According to one disclosed embodiment, an approach is provided in which a multi-workspace request is received at a machine while the machine is operating in a single workspace mode and while the machine is displaying a first single workspace on a display screen accessible by the machine.
