Systems and methods that may be implemented to orchestrate external graphics, for example to support and extend switchable graphics capability beyond internal system components of a host information handling system so as to include an external discrete graphics processing unit (xGPU) that is not integrated or embedded within the chassis enclosure of the host information handling system, and that is coupled to the host information handling system from outside the host system chassis enclosure.

Systems and methods for orchestrating external graphics

Systems and methods are disclosed herein that may be implemented to selectably suppress computing input events that are generated for an information handling system based on output signals received from a variable pressure or displacement (VPD) sensor that correspond to one or more pressure or displacement zones defined for the VPD sensor. Using the disclosed systems and methods, computing input events based on sensor output signals from one or more given VPD sensing zones may be selectably suppressed and/or withheld during sensor pressure or displacement changes from further host system processing according to a time delay, e.g., as a function of the elapsed time taken for a user to depress or release a given VPD sensor.

Systems and methods for selectably suppressing computing input events triggered by variable pressure and variable displacement sensors

User input devices with variable pressure buttons are configured. A user may specify a range of pressure to be associated with a pressure level. In some embodiments, a user may also associate a command or other instruction to an application with an identity of a variable pressure button and a pressure level of the button. In some embodiments, the associations may be represented in a configuration profile. In further embodiments, a microcontroller for a mouse may translate signals from variable pressure buttons into pressure levels based upon the configuration file. In many embodiments, a user may associate a reporting rate with a variable pressure button. A legacy application may receive reports of the state of the variable pressure button at the associated reporting rate.

Architecture for variable pressure mouse

Systems and methods are disclosed that may be implemented to allow a user and/or a software entity to define particular variable pressure or variable pressure or displacement sensor (VPD) system configurations to achieve a desired system functionality as a function of varying key pressure or varying displacement applied to one or more sensors, such as VPD keys of a keyboard or other VPD sensors such as game controller or mouse buttons, etc. The disclosed systems and methods may be implemented using these defined VPD system configurations to control interaction between VPD subsystem hardware components and software application/s of interest that are executing on a host processing device of an information handling system.

Systems and methods for configuring and controlling variable pressure and variable displacement sensor operations for information handling systems

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for implementing one or more individual pressure sensitive keys that each support multiple native scan codes, with each scan code corresponding to a unique pressure level output. The disclosed systems and methods may be implemented in one exemplary embodiment to allow users to leverage the capability of a variable pressure keyboard by providing an information handling system having individual variable pressure keys that are each capable of outputting a different macro or multi-key sequence per key pressure level sensed.
