A system can include a processor; memory operatively coupled to the processor; a display operatively coupled to the processor; a touch sensitive surface that comprises a slider region; and assignment circuitry that assigns one of a plurality of assignable system functions to the slider region.

Multi-function slide control

In one aspect, a device includes a first panel at least bearing a keyboard, a second panel at least bearing a display, and a fingerprint reader on at least a portion of at least one of the first and second panels. The portion is engageable by a user to transition the first panel away from the second panel.

Fingerprint reader on a portion of a device for changing the configuration of the device

One embodiment provides a system, including: an information handling device comprising a camera; and a cover for the information handling device, comprising: a movable area obscuring and exposing the camera; at least one button controlling activation of the camera; and a communication mechanism facilitating communication between the cover and the information handling device. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Enhanced information handling device cover

A method includes sensing a hand position on a mobile device via sensors on the mobile device, providing information identifying the sensed hand position to a processor of the mobile device, identifying a position of a user interface on a touch screen display of the mobile device responsive to the information identifying the sensed hand position using the processor of the mobile device, and adjusting a user interface display position on the mobile device to the identified position using the processor of the mobile device.

Sensor based interface adjustment

For controlling a cursor using a force vector input by a user touch, an apparatus is disclosed. A system, method, and program product also perform the functions of the apparatus. The apparatus for controlling a cursor using a force vector input by a user touch includes a force sensor operatively coupled to a surface, a processor, and a memory that stores code executable by the processor to: measure a force vector input by a user touch at the surface, the force vector including a magnitude and a direction, translate the magnitude into a cursor velocity, and control movements of a cursor based on the cursor velocity and the determined direction.

Force vector cursor control

An aspect provides a method, including: receiving, using a processor, data to be displayed across at least two hingedly coupled display devices; determining, using a processor, the display mode of the data, the display mode being selected from the group consisting of an occluded mode and a non-occluded mode; in the occluded mode, processing, using a processor, the data to occlude pixels of the data based upon the determined display mode, the pixels being occluded at a location where a physical separation exists between the at least two hingedly coupled display devices; and displaying, using the at least two hingedly coupled display devices, the data according to the display mode determined. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Displaying images across multiple displays

Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for gesture detection. A method includes detecting an auditory cue associated with a predefined gesture based on input received from one or more sensors. The method includes detecting a gesture in response to the auditory cue based on gesture input received from the one or more sensors. The method includes performing an action associated with the detected gesture in response to determining the detected gesture is the predefined gesture associated with the auditory cue.

Gesture detection

An apparatus can include a processor; memory; a touchscreen display; a network interface; a camera that includes a lens; an operating system executable by the processor to establish an operating system environment; applications that execute within the operating system environment to establish corresponding application states where the applications include a camera application to establish a camera state; a housing that houses at least the processor and the camera and that includes a surface where the surface includes an opening for the lens of the camera; a cover that includes a flap where the flap includes a closed orientation with respect to the opening and an open orientation with respect to the opening; and circuitry that switches from an existing application state to the camera state responsive to a transition of the flap from the closed orientation to the open orientation.

Control flap

In one aspect, a device includes a processor and storage accessible to the processor. The storage bears instructions executable by the processor to determine that power from a secondary power source at least one of is being received and will be received. The instructions are also executable to, responsive to the determination that power from the secondary power source at least one of is being received and will be received, perform a first action regarding operating an apparatus using the secondary power source.

Systems and methods for taking actions based on whether secondary power is being received

In accordance with embodiments herein an electronic device is provided comprising a housing, a display, and a camera assembly including a camera and an articulating support that includes a base and a main leg joined to the base. The base and main leg movably coupled to the housing wherein movement of the articulating support defines camera alignment paths followed by the camera when moving between a retracted position and active positions.

Camera assembly for electronic devices

An aspect provides a method, including: obtaining, using one or more sensors of a device, contextual data relating to a picture taking context; assigning, using a processor, the contextual data to a predetermined picture taking context; and selecting a camera from two or more cameras of the device based on the predetermined picture taking context. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Camera mode selection based on context

In one aspect, an apparatus includes a housing, a touch-enabled pad coupled to the housing, a processor, and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to receive input to the touch-enabled pad and to present an indication of the input on the touch-enabled pad.

Presenting indication of input to a touch-enabled pad on touch-enabled pad

In one aspect, a device includes a first panel at least bearing a keyboard, a second panel at least bearing a display and which is coupled to the first panel at least at a junction, and at least one camera disposed on the device at or near the junction of the first panel and the second panel.

Device with camera at or near junction of first panel and second panel

A method, apparatus, and program product are disclosed for receiving a proximity input indicator signal associated with an information handling device, the information handling device comprising a display, determining a proximity of a user to the information handling device based on the proximity input indicator signal, and modifying one or more display settings of the information handling device in response to the determined proximity.
