A portable information handling system includes a wireless network interface device that establishes communication with a network destination through a mesh network having plural network paths of one or more ad hoc network interfaces. A mesh network manager running on the portable information handling system retrieves network context information from nodes of the plural network paths and applies the network context information to determine energy consumption of the plural network paths. The mesh network manager selects a network path to communicate with the network destination based at least in part on the energy consumption associated with the plural network paths.

Projected input and output devices adapt to a desktop environment by sensing objects at the desktop environment and altering projected light in response to the sensed objects. For instance, projection of input and output devices is altered to limit illumination against and end user's hands or other objects disposed at a projection surface. End user hand positions and motions are detected to provide gesture support for adapting a projection work space, and configurations of projected devices are stored so that an end user can rapidly recreate a projected desktop. A projector scan adjusts to limit traces across inactive portions of the display surface and to increase traces at predetermined areas, such as video windows.

Interactive projected information handling system support input and output devices

A system, method, and computer-readable medium for an audio processing system which compensates for environment parameters to enhance audio inputs and outputs of an information handling system. More specifically, in certain embodiments, the audio processing system accounts for environmental characteristics including some or all of shape, size, materials, occupant, quantity, location and occlusions.

Acoustic characterization based on sensor profiling

Inputs to a projected or other type of displayed user interface are verified with a verification device that enhances input detection accuracy. For example, inputs at a projected keyboard are detected by an infrared curtain projected over the keyboard and breached by an end user finger as it strikes a key. The inputs are verified with a capacitive sensor device disposed below the keyboard that confirms a user touch. Alternatively, proximity sensing by the capacitive sensor measures distance and velocity associated with a finger to verify the inputs detected by breaching of the infrared curtain are intended inputs. Other verification devices may include an accelerometer that detects accelerations associated with inputs and three dimensional cameras that capture finger positions. Verification devices may be selectively enabled based upon power and accuracy constraints.

An integrated data and security cable couples to a portable information handling system with pins engaged at pin guides formed in the system housing on opposing sides of a data port. At least one pin selectively locks and unlocks in the pin guide to secure the system to a fixture, such as a desktop. The locking pin releases from the cable side with a key or combination or, alternatively, releases from the information handling system, such as under control of an embedded controller or other security system.

A wireless power delivery system includes a wireless charging pad and a pad covering device. The wireless charging pad includes a first antenna to provide wireless power to a first information handling system. The pad covering device is in physical communication with the wireless charging pad. The pad covering device includes a cover located within the pad covering device. The cover to extend from the pad covering device, to cover the wireless charging pad, and to lock with the wireless charging pad to securely cover the wireless charging pad.

A non-linear user interface display presented at a desktop conforms to dimensions of a user detected by a depth camera, such as by presenting the user interface along an arc having a radius determined from a reach of the user detected by the depth camera. Windows presented in the arc vary in size based upon their position relative to a user focus, such as by detecting a user gaze direction or by comparing position to a central display mat. User gestures control presentation of visual images in the arc, such rotating visual image windows in a circular manner around the arc radius and to different orientations in the arc relative to the user.

A wireless power delivery system includes a wireless charging pad, a first security tie, and a device securing component. The wireless charging pad includes a first antenna to provide wireless power to a first information handling system. The first security tie having a first end connected to the wireless charging pad, and a second end to connect with a mounting plate, the first security tie to securely connect the wireless charging pad to mounting plate. The device securing component is in physical communication with the wireless charging pad. The device securing component includes a second security tie having a first end connected within the device securing component, and a second end to connect to the first information handling system. The second security tie to securely connect the first information handling system to the wireless charging pad.

Inputs to a projected or other type of displayed user interface are filtered at different portions of the displayed visual images to provide a user-defined input management. For example, a user defines a portion of a desktop so that touch inputs have a first effect while the other portion of the desktop has a second effect, thus allowing the user to manage the risk of inadvertent inputs in the defined portion relative to other desktop regions. In one embodiment, an icon activates and deactivates touch input filtering in a region defined by dragging the icon around the user interface. The defined region is depicted with an identifying visual image, such as a coloration or shading that distinguishes the regions as having a response to touch inputs different from that of other regions.
