In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, an electronic device is described. An example electronic device includes a calibration engine to receive display calibration measurement data generated by a calibration device for a display device. The example calibration engine is to determine a calibrated color profile to cause the display device to operate according to a baseline light condition based on the display calibration measurement data. The example electronic device also includes a color preset engine to generate a color preset for the display device based on the baseline light condition.

Display calibration and color preset generation

In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a display device is described. The example display device includes a processor and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor and storing executable instructions that when executed cause the processor to: (1) receive, from a graphics processor of a source device, a screen image for display on the display device; (2) define an image region of the screen image for duplication on a second display device; and (3) send the image region to the second display device.

Display of selected image regions

In some examples, a method includes determining a context indicating a displayed media type based on a received first video signal. In some examples, the method includes classifying a received second video signal to produce a classification of the received second video signal indicating a media type of the received second video signal. In some examples, the method includes determining size and location settings based on the context and the classification. In some examples, the method includes using the size and location settings to cause the second video signal to be presented on a display.

Video signal classifications

In an example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a system includes a display, a processor and a wireless sensor. The processor receives remote wireless signals from the wireless sensor corresponding to another display. The processor determines a physical locational relationship and orientation in three-dimensional space based on the received signal. The processor logical represents the relationship and orientation in a configuration screen and sets attributes of the display based on the representation.

Wireless configuration of display attribute

In an example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, an input device of a plurality of input switches, a plurality of biometric sensors integrated into each of the plurality of input switches and a processor. The processor configured to receive an indication from a first input switch. The processor receives a biometric data collected by one of the biometric sensors. The processor determines whether the received indication corresponds with a first state in a predetermined sequence. The processor determines whether the biometric data corresponds with as second state in a predetermined biometric data sequence. The processor authenticates the user based on the first and second states.

Biometric input device

An example display device includes a housing, a protractible hook fittable within the housing, a charging device coupled to the protractible hook, and an actuation member that moves the protractible hook from the retracted position to a protracted position where the protractible hook is positioned external to the housing.

In an example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a method may receive a set of customizable characteristics corresponding to an onscreen display reference point. The onscreen display reference point may be composed based on the set of customizable characteristics. The onscreen display reference point may be stored in nonvolatile memory. The onscreen display reference point may be rendered on a display, wherein the rendering is independent of a video stream.

Customizable onscreen display reference points

An example target device is described for facilitating application docking. In various aspects, the target device can comprise a processor. In various instances, the target device can comprise a non-transitory machine-readable memory that can store machine-readable instructions. In various cases, the processor can execute the machine-readable instructions, which can cause the processor to launch, based on a dock request that is to indicate a session of a first instance of an application of an initiator device, a second instance of the application on the target device. In various aspects, the second instance can resume the session. In various instances, the launch can be based on a determination that a dock credential of a Quick Response (QR) code generated by the target device is in the dock request.

Application docking

According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor that may access an assignment of a capability to a hardware port such as a Universal Serial Bus ('USB') port. The apparatus may virtualize a USB port, assign capabilities to the virtual USB port, and provide electrical communication via the USB port subject to the assigned capabilities. The electrical communication may include power delivered via the USB port, or data communicated via the USB port.

USB port capability assignment

An input mouse may include a top button, a first wall rearward of the top button to underlie a palm of a user and a second wall forming an exterior of the input mouse. The first wall is formed from a material composition comprising a first polymer encapsulating thermally conductive particles. The second wall is formed from a thermally conductive material. A solid-state Peltier heat pump has a first face thermally coupled to the first wall and a second face thermally coupled to the second wall.

According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor that may access an assignment of a component connected to a downstream USB port, from among a plurality of downstream USB ports that are downstream of a display device, to a first physical host device from among a plurality of physical host devices connected to the display device via respective upstream USB ports. The apparatus may bind, based on the assignment, the downstream USB port to a first upstream USB port that connects the first physical host device to the display device. The binding may cause the component to be coupled to the first physical host device. The apparatus facilitates assignment of individual components connected to downstream USB ports to one of a plurality of upstream USB ports.

Binding downstream USB ports to upstream USB ports

In an example display system, a range of colors around a region may be identified and compared to a color of the region with respect to a perception threshold. In that example, a modification of the color within the region may be determined based on the range of colors around the region and a display may be caused to present the region in a modified color based on the range of colors around the region with respect to the perception threshold.
