Abstract: A system for communicating interactive instructions to a user intercepts video and audio information from an information handling system hosting a game, analyzes where a user is looking and listens for user commands, generates a list of candidate targets, selects a target profile for each candidate target, applies a prioritization policy to select a target from the list of candidate targets, and communicates haptic information to the user to signal an action to take relative to the selected target. The target may be a threat that the user must engage or evade, an object the user must get or avoid, a location the user must move to or avoid, or a route the user must take to attack or evade a threat or achieve a reward.

Abstract: In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may receive, via at least one camera, a video stream that includes images of a person and audio and may determine a data rate between a system and another system. The one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may determine that the data rate is within a data rate range of multiple data rate ranges. If the data rate range is a first data rate range, a static picture of a face of the person may be composited onto an avatar skeleton and may be provided to a network. If the data rate range is a second data rate range, the face of the person may be composited onto an avatar of the person and may be provided to the network.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for the assessment and mitigation of risk associated with the potential loss of data stored by an IHS (Information Handling System). The risk assessment incorporates contextual and behavioral data provided by the IHS where the data describes file operations by the IHS, the physical use of the IHS, system information that describes the platform of the IHS and hardware installed on the IHS and data backup procedures implemented by the IHS. Based on the data associated with an IHS, a scoring algorithm determines a behavioral risk of loss that reflects the use of the IHS and a contextual risk of loss that reflects user input to individual files, thus indicating the time required to recreate a file. The backup procedures implemented by the IHS are then evaluated in light of the determined risk assessment. Backup procedure recommendations that mitigate the identified risks are provided to the IHS.

Abstract: Embodiments provide the ability to configure software backup and restoration procedures on an IHS (Information Handling System) with minimal or no input from a user. Embodiments utilize local monitors on an IHS in order to generate metadata describing the use of software applications installed on the IHS. A remote analytics engine process the metadata received from multiple participating IHSs to generate inputs used by the restoration and backup procedures implemented by the IHS. The metadata generated by an IHS is used to determine valuations for the applications and files installed on the IHS. These valuations may then be utilized to identify files of significant value to the user, which may then be designated for backup by the backup procedures implemented by the IHS. The generated valuations may also be used to select the applications that should be reinstalled in order to restore the IHS to an approximated prior operating state.

Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for peer remediation of a malfunctioning IHS (Information Handling System). A malfunctioning IHS broadcasts a mayday beacon indicating a failure condition. The mayday beacon may be a peer-to-peer wireless broadcast using a Wi-Fi SSID that signals that the malfunctioning IHS is searching for a peer IHS configured to provide remediation resources. A peer IHS configured to provide peer remediation responds to the mayday beacon. A peer peer-to-peer wireless connection, such as a Wi-Fi direct connection, is established and used by the malfunctioning IHS to access remediation resources stored on the peer IHS. The remediation resources, which may include a service operating system, are run on the malfunctioning IHS from the peer IHS. The peer IHS may utilize diagnostic information provided by the malfunctioning IHS to determine the remediation resources to be used. The peer IHS may utilize a remote diagnostic service for determining the remediation resources.

Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for remediation of a malfunctioning IHS (Information Handling Systems) using a peer IHS. Upon detecting a failure condition that prevents booting a primary operating system, the malfunctioning IHS initiates a remediation service as a BIOS/UEFI runtime process. The remediation service specifies remediation resources via an embedded web server. The web server provides a web interface that provides a peer IHS with resource links that provide access to remediation resources stored on the malfunctioning IHS. The web interface may also provide links that trigger the transfer of diagnostic information from the malfunctioning IHS to the peer IHS, which can be further relayed to a remote diagnostic service that may provide the peer IHS with updated remediation resources. The remediation resource may utilize pre-boot diagnostic processes to identify resources that are targeted to specific failures detected on the malfunctioning IHS.

Abstract: A tablet support system includes a chassis housing a plurality of components that provide a critical mechanical stack of the system. The plurality of components include a display that faces a first direction. The chassis includes a second surface facing a second direction that is opposite the first direction. A support member channel extends into the second surface. A subset of the plurality of components are positioned in the chassis such that they are not located between the support member channel and the display screen. A support member is moveably coupled to the chassis and operable to move into a stored position in which the support member is positioned in the support member channel. The subset of the plurality of components are positioned to allow the support member to be flush with the second surface when in the stored position without adding to a maximum thickness of the system.

Abstract: Alignment posts that aid alignment of a peripheral slice to couple to the bottom surface of an information handling system also interface with a release so that actuation of the release translates to movement of the alignment posts relative to the peripheral slice so that the information handling system slides relative to the peripheral slice. Sliding of the peripheral slice relative to the information handling system releases attachment devices, such as hooks of the peripheral device that couple to attachment points of the information handling system so that the peripheral device decouples from the information handling system.

Abstract: A display support system includes a chassis housing an electronic display and defining a support member channel. A support member is moveably coupled to the chassis. The support member is operable to move between a stored position in which the support member is positioned in the support member channel and a support position in which the support member extends from the chassis. An adjustment member is moveably coupled to the support member. With the chassis engaging a support surface, the adjustment member is operable to engage the support surface and move relative to the support member such that an angle between the electronic display and the support surface may be adjusted. The system allows the electronic display to be supported in either a landscape orientation and a portrait orientation, while allowing the angle between the support surface and the electronic display to be adjusted in either orientation.
