  • Patent number: 10936274
    Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for selective screen sharing. In one example, a computing device determines that a state of a destination device does not satisfy a compliance rule of a management service. The computing device also determines an area to obscure within a video stream using screen-sharing data. The video stream is generated by applying a transformation to a screen capture. The transformation obscures the area within the video stream. The video stream is transmitted to a destination device. In some cases, a user-specified modification to the area is also obtained. The video stream is updated by applying an updated transformation to the screen capture that obscures the updated area within the video stream.

  • Patent number: 10795535
    Abstract: Provided are a display control method by which the user can cause, with enhanced ease of use, one display device to display multiple screens, and a computer program, a display control device, and an image display system. A working area generation unit generates multiple areas corresponding to multiple display areas displayed on a display screen and positions the generated areas in a working area. When only a display area A (parent screen) is displayed on the display screen (when the PinP function is disabled), a pointer position monitoring unit determines whether the pointer position has moved from an area a to an area b and outputs the determination to a simultaneous display command generation unit. If so determined, the simultaneous display command generation unit outputs a PinP function enable command to a display device.

  • Patent number: 10789885
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a dual sided display with a transparent OLED and switchable elements on each side of the OLED display switchable to be either opaque and white or clear. In order to save power, an OLED display controller turns off a first plurality of pixels in the transparent OLED display responsive to the information handling system being in a power savings state and the OLED display controller receiving display information indicating the plurality of pixels should emit white. Rather than driving the pixels to emit white, the OLED display controller turns off, thereby causing the pixels to be transparent and allowing the white opaque switchable element to be seen through the pixels.

  • Patent number: 10782797
    Abstract: A mouse device includes a button, a switch, a linkage element, a plate body, a supporting element and an adjusting element. A triggering part of the plate body is arranged between the linkage element and the switch. When the adjusting element is moved, the supporting element is correspondingly moved. Consequently, the supporting element is selectively contacted with the first fulcrum or the second fulcrum. While the button is pressed down and the linkage element is moved downwardly toward the triggering part, the triggering part is swung around a first fulcrum or a second fulcrum of the plate body to push the switch. Consequently, the switch is triggered.

  • Patent number: 10775895
    Abstract: Systems and methods for multi-pressure interaction on touch-sensitive surfaces are disclosed. One disclosed embodiment of a method comprises receiving a first sensor signal from a touch-sensitive input device in response to a first contact of a first object on the touch-sensitive input device, the first sensor signal comprising a first location and a first pressure of the first contact, receiving a second sensor signal from the touch-sensitive input device in response to a second contact of a second object on the touch-sensitive input device substantially simultaneously with the first contact, the second sensor signal comprising a second location of the second contact and a second pressure of the second contact, generating a signal based at least in part on the first sensor signal and the second sensor signal, the signal configured to cause a haptic effect, and outputting the signal.

  • Patent number: 10768804
    Abstract: A gesture language for a device with multiple touch surfaces is described. Generally, a series of new touch input models is described that includes touch input interactions on two disjoint touch-sensitive surfaces. For example, a mobile device can include a primary display on a “front” side of the device, and a secondary display or touch-sensitive surface on the “back” side of the device, such as a surface that is opposite the primary display. Accordingly, the gesture language can include a series of “back touch” interactions with the touch-sensitive surface on the backside of the device. Example interactions include direct and indirect touch input on the back side, as well as simultaneous touch input on both sides of the device.

  • Patent number: 10755678
    Abstract: The presently disclosed display device includes one or more user detection sensors that determine a user location in respond to the display device. The display device then reformats image data based on the determined user location, such as by transitioning the image data from one mode to another and/or angling the image data toward the determined user location. When sharing the image data with another display device, the display devices may reformat the image data based on user location without a user manually entering a desired format or orientation. In addition, the display devices may determine whether they are touching or almost touching and, in response, split, reformat, or re-orient the image data to combine to form a single, larger display. By reformatting or orienting image data toward users using device sensors, instead of relying on user customization, the presently disclosed techniques provide more efficient and intuitive user experiences.
