Abstract: Systems and methods provide haptic feedback at locations of a keyboard palm rest during operation of a software program, such as a video game. During game play, a haptic event, such as an explosion, is detected within the game. A magnitude of the event and a direction of the event from a reference location in the game, such as an avatar's location, are determined. Haptic feedback locations on the palm rest are selected based on the magnitude of the event and the direction of the event from the reference location. Mechanical and thermal haptic feedback are generated at the selected locations of the palm rest, where the strength and timing of the feedback at each location are selected based on the magnitude and direction information for the event. Embodiments thus provide multi-dimensional haptic feedback that relates positional awareness to a user of events occurring within a video game.

Abstract: An information handling system includes a memory to store data associated with metrics of an individual and gaming performance metrics, and a processor. The processor correlates the metrics of an individual with the gaming performance metrics. Based on the correlation, the processor creates a gaming performance score. The processor determines changes to implement based on the gaming performance score. When the changes are implemented, the changes improve the gaming performance score. The processor provides the changes to the individual in a non-intrusive manner.

Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for display management for a multi-form factor Information Handing System (IHS) are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an IHS may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: identify a posture of a first display relative to a second display, where the second display is coupled to the first display via a hinge; and based on the identification, produce a work area on an external display.

In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an IHS may include: a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: identify a posture of a second display relative to a first display; select a palm rejection setting corresponding to the posture; and apply the palm rejection setting to at least one of: the first display or the second display.

Abstract: A portable information handling system folds a flexible display over a hinge and selectively engages a stylus writing tip to make inputs at the flexible display based upon operating conditions of the flexible display. For instance, an information handling system communicates to a stylus a pressure constraint determined from current and historical operating conditions so that the stylus restricts excessive pressure from application to the display, such as by automatically selecting a writing tip with a greater surface area.

Abstract: Gesture inputs at an information handling system adapt to manage end user resolution constraints by selectively assigning a physical input device to accept fractional inputs of the gesture type. For example, an end user maintains a gesture for a predetermined time to command a totem device to adapt from a first type of input, such as scrolling, to the gesture input so that the end user may more precisely manage the desired gesture input through the totem. Upon movement from the gesture, the physical input device reverts from the gesture input to the first type of input.

Abstract: A heuristic learning algorithm uses an ALS to determine display brightness settings based on a stored response curve for display brightness for a user. When the user overrides the response curve value for display brightness at a given ALS output, the display brightness setting based on the user input is used to modify the response curve for the ALS output to lesser extent than the user input. Over time the response curve will approach desired user settings for each value of the ALS output.
