Abstract: Out-of-band switching of states of a computing device by a coupled peripheral device, are described. A sensor within the peripheral device may monitor an area in proximity to the peripheral device. A controller within the peripheral device may determine whether a user is present within the area. On determining the user to be present, a control signal may be generated. The control signal is conforms with the messaging protocol and causes the computing device to switch between an operational state and a low-power state. The controller may cause out-of-band transmission of the control signal to the computing device through the transmission interface.

Abstract: In an example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, an input device of a plurality of input switches, a plurality of biometric sensors integrated into each of the plurality of input switches and a processor. The processor configured to receive an indication from a first input switch. The processor receives a biometric data collected by one of the biometric sensors. The processor determines whether the received indication corresponds with a first state in a predetermined sequence. The processor determines whether the biometric data corresponds with as second state in a predetermined biometric data sequence. The processor authenticates the user based on the first and second states.

Abstract: In an example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a method may receive a set of customizable characteristics corresponding to an onscreen display reference point. The onscreen display reference point may be composed based on the set of customizable characteristics. The onscreen display reference point may be stored in nonvolatile memory. The onscreen display reference point may be rendered on a display, wherein the rendering is independent of a video stream.

Abstract: An example target device is described for facilitating application docking. In various aspects, the target device can comprise a processor. In various instances, the target device can comprise a non-transitory machine-readable memory that can store machine-readable instructions. In various cases, the processor can execute the machine-readable instructions, which can cause the processor to launch, based on a dock request that is to indicate a session of a first instance of an application of an initiator device, a second instance of the application on the target device. In various aspects, the second instance can resume the session. In various instances, the launch can be based on a determination that a dock credential of a Quick Response (QR) code generated by the target device is in the dock request.

The processor correlates the geospatial relationship to a display configuration screen. The processor creates a pointing device path in the display configuration screen corresponding to the geospatial relationship.

Abstract: Examples of timing controllers (TCONs) for display calibration are described. In some examples, a command to enter a built-in self-test (BIST) calibration mode for calibration of the display may be received at a TCON. A BIST circuit of the TCON may generate optical calibration patterns to be displayed by the display.
