  • Patent number: 11423905
    Abstract: Systems and methods for handling away messages with intelligent assistance using voice services. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to: detect the presence of a person; output an audio greeting in response to the detection; receive an audio instruction in response to the audio greeting; transmit the audio instruction to a voice service provider, the voice service provider configured to: (i) convert the audio instruction into a text instruction, and (ii) transmit the text instruction to an intelligent assistance provider; receive a command from the intelligent assistance provider, the intelligent assistance provider configured to generate the command based upon the text instruction; and execute the command.

  • Patent number: 11422601
    Abstract: The measured capacity of a rechargeable battery provides the full charge capacity of the battery, but does not reflect degradation of the battery capacity between measurements. Embodiments initiate a first measurement of a rechargeable battery capacity. Parameters of use of the rechargeable battery are monitored, such as the depth and number of discharge cycles of the battery. Until a second capacity measurement is initiated, a battery capacity correction factor is generated based on the monitored parameters of the use of the rechargeable battery. During this interval until the second measurement, a remaining available capacity of the rechargeable battery is reported based on an adjustment of the first capacity measurement using the generated correction factor. The correction factor for a particular battery may be based on learned battery degradation for a large number of batteries and also based on events and conditions of use of that particular battery.

  • Patent number: 11406895
    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.

  • Patent number: 11397613
    Abstract: An information handling system may determine that a first process of a list of processes is a top-ranked process and may adjust one or more settings of the information handling system associated with the first process. The information handling system may monitor performance parameters of the information handling system following the adjustment of the settings. Based on monitoring the performance parameters, the information handling system may determine that a performance score of the information handling system is below a threshold performance score and may reduce a ranking of the first process based on the determination. The ranking of the first process may be reduced such that a second process becomes a new top-ranked process. The information handling system may then adjust one or more settings associated with the second process.

  • Publication number: 20220141265
    Abstract: As part of virtual meetings, information that has been visually presented to the participants may be distributed to all or some of the participants. Embodiments provide capabilities for identifying such shared information to be distributed to virtual meeting participants based on the context in which the information was shared. A user joining a collaborative session via a first IHS (Information Handling System) is detected and affiliations of the user are determined. The display of information to the user via a collaboration tool is detected. Activity by the user is monitored while the shared information is displayed to the user via the collaboration tool. An event is detected that triggers distribution of the displayed information. Whether to distribute the displayed information to the user's IHS is determined based on the user's affiliations, attributes of the information and the monitored activity of the user during the display of the information.
