Abstract: A portable information handling system may be used in tablet-laptop mode, where a first body and a second body are rotatable about each other within an angular range of about 360°. Depending on the detected angular rotation of the first body about the second body, among other detectable usage aspects, line-of-sight operation or non-line-of-sight operation of touch input devices, such as a touch pad and/or a keyboard, may be activated.

Abstract: A mobile communication terminal having a first body and a second body rotatably coupled by a hinge assembly, and a mode selector that sets an operation mode of the mobile communication terminal based on an angle between the first body and the second body. The mode selector includes a rotation part that enables the detection of an angle between the first body and the second body, and a setting part, movably mounted on the rotation part, which sets an operation mode of the mobile communication terminal corresponding to the detected angle when the setting part is moved into contact with a holding part.
Abstract: In an information processing device, system operations can be simply performed while a screen of a display body is viewed, even when the display body is folded against a main body. In the information processing device, a display body with a screen arranged on the front surface is connected to a main body having a keyboard mounted thereon so as to rotate in opening/folding directions and in a turning direction, and an operating button is positioned to be operable when the back surface of the display body is close to the main body. Also, a system menu is displayed on the screen according to operation of the operating button.
Abstract: The invention provides a pedestal for supporting a monitor. The pedestal includes a first base and a second base. The first base further includes a first supporting surface and a recess, while the second base further includes a second supporting surface. The second base is movably connected to the first base such that it can be reciprocated between a first position and a second position. The invention utilizes the reciprocal feature of the second base to increase the contact area between the pedestal and the desktop and reduce the total packaging volume of the pedestal and the monitor.
