Abstract: A portable information handling system interacts with haptic devices of a game controller though a direct wired interface when the game controller couples to opposing sides of the information handling system and through a wireless interface when the game controller couples to a bridge having a wired interface to communicate with the game controller and a wireless interface to communicate with the information handling system. The haptic devices provide a first haptic response associated with a desired vibration for a weight of game controller and information handling system when the game controller couples directly to the information handling system, and a second haptic response associated with the desired vibration for a weight of the game controller and bridge when the game controller couples directly to the bridge for wireless communication with the information handling system.

Abstract: A portable information handling system interacts with a game controller through either a direct connection at a wired interface at the sides of opposing controller housings and the information handling system housing or through a bridge having a bridge housing that directly couples to the controller housing as a bridge to the information handling system, such as with a wireless interface. During a sliding coupling motion, pins of the controller housing wired interface move across pins of the bridge or information handling system wired interface. Analysis of the interface signals through a sliding coupling motion identifies the type of controller housing, such as a controller housing with game input devices or with extra functions like speaker audio and supplemental battery power.

Abstract: An information handling system operating a predictive simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) system may comprise a camera mounted to a wearable headset capturing an image of a landmark, a positional sensor mounted to the wearable headset measuring a current positional state of the headset, and a network adapter receiving a stored SLAM frame, including an identification and position of the landmark within a previously captured image. A processor executing code instructions of the predictive SLAM system may generate a current SLAM frame based on the image captured via the camera, determine a Kalman gain associated with an observed location of the landmark based on the current SLAM frame and the stored SLAM frame, and determine a corrected position of the wearable headset based on a previously measured positional state of the headset, the current positional state of the headset, the current SLAM frame, and the Kalman gain.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that may be implemented to wake an information handling system from a reduced-powered state in response to a wireless signal wake-up event received from a wireless peripheral device. Non-operating system (OS) components and/or non-BIOS components of an information handling system may be optionally enabled to securely perform pre-OS operations to determine whether or not to wake other components (e.g., such as a system OS and/or system BIOS executing on a host processing device or embedded controller) of the information handling system from a reduced-powered state upon receipt of the wireless signal wake-up event.

Abstract: A method includes determining a first brightness level of a first video frame and a second brightness level of a second video frame, the second video frame immediately following the first video frame. In response to determining that the second brightness level differs from the first brightness level by at least a predetermined amount, the method includes modifying the brightness of the second video frame and a predetermined number of successive frames to provide successive fractional increments of brightness between the first brightness level and the second brightness level.

Abstract: A wearable headset information handling system infrared emitter power optimization system may comprise a memory storing an association between an active infrared (IR) light emitter mounted to the wearable headset and a calibration intensity at which the IR light emitter emits light during a calibration phase, wherein the active IR light emitter is identified based on its position with respect to the field of view of the wearable headset. A SLAM engine may determine a calibration distance between the active IR light emitter and a first farthest identified object and determine an image projection distance between the active IR light emitter and a nearby virtual object. The processor may determine a first light intensity cap for the active IR light emitter based on the calibration distance, the calibration intensity, and the image projection distance, and the active IR light emitter may emit light according to the first light intensity cap.

Abstract: An information handling system operating a wearable headset IR emitter saturation correction system may comprise an infrared emitter emitting IR light, a camera capturing a calibration image and a first session image of the IR light reflected from a landmark, and a SLAM engine generating a first session SLAM frame. A processor may execute code instructions to compare the measured calibration pixel brightness value for each pixel associated with the landmark in a calibration image with a measured first session pixel brightness value for each pixel associated with the landmark in the first session image to determine whether the first session SLAM frame is over or under saturated, and determine an adjusted brightness if the first session SLAM frame is over or under saturated. The infrared emitter may emit light according to the adjusted brightness.

Abstract: An information handling system touchscreen display interacts with totem devices by recognizing and tracking spectral signatures of the totem devices so that totem positions are reported as a single length, width and rotational orientation message to a host operating system. Ignore zones and hysteresis time periods are defined from the position message based upon totem context so that the host operating system processes touchscreen inputs with minimal latency and improved accuracy. Communication and battery charging are provided to the totem by the touchscreen display will illumination directed to the totem position.

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 virtual object anchor stores an offset in memory that defines a virtual object position, orientation and scale relative to the location of the virtual object anchor. Information handling systems retrieve and apply the offset to generate a virtual object in a head mounted display that is presented at a location relative to the virtual object defined by the offset. In one embodiment, gestures detected by information handling system sensors that change the position, orientation or scale of the virtual object are applied to update the offset and communicated for storage at the virtual object anchor. In another embodiment, gestures detected by sensors of the virtual object anchor are applied to update the offset so that the updated offset is communicated to the information handling systems for presentation of the virtual object at an updated position, orientation and/or scale determined from the gestures.

Abstract: An information handling system security system presents a combination lock user interface at a display with numbers depicted at a perimeter of a totem placed on the display. Rotational movement of the totem relative to the perimeter selects security code inputs to unlock access to the information handling system. Random placement of the numbers at the perimeter and totem unique values provide additional security that help prevent hacking of the security code through mimicking of inputs actions by an unauthorized observer.
