One embodiment provides a method, including: identifying, based on context data, a location of an information handling device; accessing a settings profile for the information handling device that is based on the identified location; determining, using a processor, whether at least one current setting on the information handling device is inconsistent with the settings profile; and adjusting, responsive to determining that the at least one current setting is inconsistent with the settings profile, the at least one current setting to match the settings profile for the location. Other aspects are described and claimed.

System setting adjustment based on location

Apparatuses, methods, and program products are disclosed for operating a camera sense mode. One apparatus includes a processor, a camera, and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to determine, by use of the processor, whether the camera is set to a camera sense mode. The camera sense mode is a mode of the camera configured to use the camera as a sensor. The code is executable by the processor to, in response to the camera being set to the camera sense mode: analyze images captured by the camera, using a sensing application, to determine information related to the images; and inhibit applications separate from the sensing application from accessing images captured by the camera.

Apparatus, method, and program product for operating a camera sense mode

Apparatus, methods, and program products for preventing data snipping are disclosed. One apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to partition an electronic image into a plurality of graphics frames for display on a display device, wherein each separate graphics frame in the plurality of graphics frames includes a different portion of the electronic image, and transmit each separate graphics frame of the plurality of graphics frames to the display device, wherein each separate graphics frame in the plurality of graphics frames is separately transmitted to the display device for display thereon within each display cycle. Methods and computer program products that perform the operations and/or functions of the apparatus are also disclosed.

Apparatus, method, and program product for preventing data snipping

Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for obscuring application windows based on user security permissions. An apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to identify a user who is within a field of view of the camera relative to the display, determine one or more security permissions for the user in response to identifying the user, and obscure one or more application windows that are visible on the display that are not compliant with the user's one or more security permissions.

Obscuring application windows based on user security permissions

An information processing apparatus includes a first chassis, a second chassis which is coupled to the first chassis to be openable and closable, a first display which is disposed on a first surface of the second chassis which faces the first chassis, a second display which is disposed on a second surface of the second chassis which is opposite to the first surface and a processing circuitry, in which the processing circuitry detects a lid close action that a user is about to close the first chassis or lid close, and in a case where the lid close action or the lid close is detected, displays a selection menu which is used for selecting a mode to be executed in a lid closed state and includes a plurality of modes on the first display or the second display.

Information processing apparatus and mode selection method therefor

In one aspect, a device may include at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to receive, from a stylus, at least one transmission indicating movement of the stylus. The instructions may also be executable to take, based on the at least one transmission, at least one action at the device. The stylus itself may include one or more motion sensors to sense the movement.

Use of sensors in electronic pens to execution functions

For point-of-interest determination and display, a processor detects an image event during a videoconference. The processor determines a point-of-interest for the video image of the videoconference based on the image event. The video image is at least a 180-degree image and the point-of-interest is a portion of the video image. The processor displays the point-of-interest from the video image on a display.

Point-of-interest determination and display

In one aspect, a device may include at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to facilitate, at a first device, a video conference. The instructions may also be executable to determine, at the first device and based on input from at least one sensor, a first video feed for the video conference to provide. The instructions may then be executable to, based on the determination, provide the first video feed as part of the video conference.

Use of sensor input to determine video feed to provide as part of video conference

Apparatus, methods, and program products are disclosed for transferring objects between multiple displays. One apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to detect a first edge swipe performed by a first set of user fingers on a first object on a first touch screen of a computing device. The code is further executable by the processor to move the first object from the first touch screen to a second touch screen of the computing device in response to detecting the first edge swipe. Methods and computer program products that perform the functions of the apparatus are also disclosed.

Apparatus, method, and program product for transferring objects between multiple displays

In one aspect, a device includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions that may be executable by the at least one processor to receive input from a camera in communication with the at least one processor and to determine, based on the input from the camera, whether a user is currently speaking. The instructions may also be executable to present a notification regarding whether to unmute at least one microphone accessible to the at least one processor responsive to a determination that the user is currently speaking.

Systems and methods to determine whether to unmute microphone based on camera input

One embodiment provides a method, including: displaying, on a primary display of an information handling device, an object having a predetermined size; adjusting, based on user input, a position of the object from the primary display to an auxiliary display; and maintaining, based on a scaling factor applied to the auxiliary display, the predetermined size of the object on the auxiliary display. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Auxiliary display scaling factor

One embodiment provides a method, including: detecting, using at least one sensor, a predetermined motion of an information handling device. An embodiment additionally receives, substantially during the predetermined motion and at an input location of the information handling device, activation input. An embodiment additionally activates, responsive to the receiving, a system associated with the information handling device. Other aspects are described and claimed.
