  • Publication number: 20190056864
    Abstract: A technique includes detecting a finger pattern that is associated with a physical interaction of a user with a touch screen of an electronic device. The technique includes acquiring sensory input that is associated with the user other than a characteristic of the physical interaction of the user with the touch screen. The technique includes determining whether the physical interaction is associated with an intent to use the touchscreen for key-based input entry based at least in part on the sensory input and controlling a user interface for the electronic device based at least in part on the detected finger pattern and the determined intent.

  • Patent number: 9389875
    Abstract: A computing system includes a plurality of graphics controllers, a reserved memory region, a shadow memory region, and a system Basic Input Output System (BIOS). The reserved memory region is to store a plurality of video Basic Input Output System (BIOS) images. The shadow memory region is to store a selected video BIOS image corresponding to a selected graphics controller, such that the selected graphics controller is to display output in response to a service request for video BIOS services, without use of a graphics driver. The system BIOS is to enable changing the selected graphics controller, based on copying a video BIOS image from the reserved memory region to the shadow memory region.
