Abstract: Information handling systems, methods, and computer-readable media enable gameplay event detection and gameplay enhancement operations. One or more in-game events may be detected by monitoring audio content, by monitoring video content, by monitoring user input, by monitoring other information, or a combination thereof. The one or more in-game events (and information related to the one or more in-game events) may be stored at a database. Information of the database may be accessed to trigger one or more gameplay enhancement operations. The one or more gameplay enhancement operations may include an automatic highlight capture operation, a dynamic screen aggregation operation, a dynamic position switch operation, a dynamic player switch operation, a gameplay enhancement operation using one or more peripheral devices (e.g., a lighting effect or a haptic feedback event), one or more other gameplay enhancement operations, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Computer programs for execution on an information handling system may be illustrated using an ontological mapping that uses data regarding the computer programs to arrange the computer programs into a navigable display that improves the ability of a user to find organize and find their programs and allows the information handling system to make useful recommendations to the user regarding additional computer programs of interest. The ontologically-mapped programs may be visualized on a display that is customizable based on a user's interests. For example, programs may be mapped and visualized as a universe by grouping related programs into solar systems. Data regarding the programs may be used to generate details within the solar system, such as appearance of the planets in the solar systems, location of the planets in the solar systems, and moons orbiting the planets in the solar systems.

Abstract: A method of identifying an unknown device via interrogation may comprise determining a communication address of an unknown device in communication with an information handling system, capturing a digital image of the unknown device, determining the unknown device belongs to a known class of devices via an object recognition algorithm to analyze the digital image, accessing a device class registry listing a plurality of candidate object identifications associated with the known class of devices, identifying a stimulus action or actuation associated with a first of the plurality of candidate device identifications. The method may also comprise performing the stimulus action, receiving an indication via the communication address indicating the unknown device detected the stimulus action, and associating the communication address of the unknown device with the first of the plurality of candidate device identifications.

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: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for resolving a uniform resource locator may include receiving, at a router, a uniform resource locator from a client information handling system within a local network of the router. The method may also include processing, by the router, the uniform resource locator to determine if the uniform resource locator includes a local domain name of a local information handling system within the local network. The method may further include resolving, by the router, a unique address associated with the uniform resource locator and the local information handling system responsive to determining that the uniform resource locator includes the local domain name of the local information handling system, wherein such resolving is performed without resort to a domain name service external to the local network.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for performing a power management operation for a plurality of information handling systems associated with the same user. With the power management operation, a plurality of information handling systems are detected and linked together using a communication network/path to enable power control among the plurality of information handling systems. Additionally, in certain embodiments, the power management operations allow power messages be to communicated among the plurality of information handling system. In various embodiments, a power state of each system is checked and if there is a change in system context or power state in one of the communicating systems, a message is generated and provided to other linked systems. The receiving systems can now change their respective power state based on the message received.

The authentication processing system authenticates to the host processing system based upon a shared secret. An authentication module of the authentication processing system operates as a master authentication module to establish an authentication area, determine that a first device is a first trusted device of the authentication module, determine that the first device is within the authentication area, authenticate the first device on the authentication area based upon the determination that the first device is within the authentication area, determine that a second device is a second trusted device of the authentication module, determine that the second device is not within the authentication area, and prevent the second device from authenticating on the authentication area based upon the determination that the second device is not within the authentication area.

Abstract: An information handling system has a haptic generation module to generate haptic effects including haptic noise and a haptic noise reduction module. The haptic noise reduction module receives characteristics of sound representative of haptic noise generated by a haptic generation module of a device and entering an audio input module of the device, the characteristics including frequencies and timing. It also detects the generation of haptic effects, the generations occurring after the receiving characteristics. It also reduces the effects of haptic noise on digital data representing audio input to the device based upon the received characteristics of the sound. It may reduce the effects by subtracting amplitudes of audio waves representing the haptic noise from amplitudes of audio waves representing the audio input.
