In some examples, an electronic device comprises a wireless transceiver to transmit a packet and a processor coupled to the wireless transceiver. The processor is to update a running average of a radiation level over a time period. The running average is based on a quantity of packets transmitted by the wireless transceiver during the time period and a radiation level associated with the quantity of packets. The processor is to determine whether the running average exceeds a threshold and to control transmission power for the packet based on the determination and based on a destination of the packet.

Transmission power control

In some examples, a non-transitory computer-readable medium stores machine-readable instructions which, when executed by a controller of an electronic device, cause the controller to perform an assistive depth of field analysis. Performing the assistive depth analysis causes the controller to receive images from an image sensor, determine, via artificial intelligence (AI) processing, a depth of field of the images, and generate a signal representing consecutive changes in the depth of field of the images with respect to a first of the images.

Assistive depth of field analysis

In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, an electronic device is described. An example electronic device includes a charging dock to charge a wireless peripheral device and a sensor to determine when the wireless peripheral device is decoupled from the charging dock. A wireless communication device of the example electronic device wirelessly communicates with the wireless peripheral device. A controller of the example electronic device, responsive to an output from the sensor indicating that the wireless peripheral device is decoupled from the charging dock, triggers the wireless communication device to pair with the wireless peripheral device.

The present specification describes examples of position-based switching of display devices. An example augmented reality (AR) device includes an AR display device to render display data. The example AR device also includes a wireless communication device to transmit and receive wireless signals. The example AR device further includes a processor to: 1) determine a position of the AR device relative to a computing device based on wireless signals communicated with the computing device; and 2) switch an activity state of the AR display device based on the determined position of the AR device relative to the computing device.

In example implementations, a head mounted display (HMD) is provided. The HMD includes a first wireless radio, a second wireless radio, and a controller. The first wireless radio is to establish a connection to a host computer. The second wireless radio is to connect to a second HMD via a channel. The controller is communicatively coupled to the first wireless radio and the second wireless radio. The controller is to receive a notification of a presence of the second HMD from the host computer via the connection, track movement of the second HMD via the channel, and generate a collision avoidance alert when the second HMD is within a distance threshold of the HMD.

Collision avoidance of head mounted displays

Example implementations relate to alerts for virtual meetings. In some examples, a computing device can include a processor, where the processor is to in response to a virtual meeting having been initiated, determine whether a graphical user interface of the virtual meeting is minimized in a desktop environment and whether communication has occurred in the virtual meeting, and in response to communication having occurred and the graphical user interface being minimized, cause an alert to be displayed on a display panel.

In an example, a wearable apparatus may include a display device and an input device. The input device may include a network interface device having a first transceiver and a second transceiver. Further, the input device may include a processor connected to the network interface device to communicate with the display device via the first transceiver. Furthermore, the processor may monitor a position of a peer input device via the second transceiver based on a radio signal exchanged between the input device and the peer input device. In response to a determination that the position of the peer input device is less than a threshold distance, the processor may generate a collision alert on the display device via the first transceiver.

In some examples, a system may include a computing device comprising executable instructions to authenticate the computing device to a first wireless network, implementing a first level of security, while in an active state. A system may include a computing device comprising executable instructions to disconnect from the first wireless network responsive to entering a sleep state. A system may include a computing device comprising executable instructions to provide, from a basic input/output system (BIOS) of the computing device, a wireless parameter for a second wireless network implementing a second level of security. A system may include a computing device comprising executable instructions to connect to the second wireless network while in the sleep state.

Screen casting on between two devices is described. In an example implementation, a communication link is established by a first device with a second device for casting a screen of the second device on the first device. Upon establishing the communication link, a command message is sent by the first device to the second device to set a backlight of the screen of the second device based on user backlight settings. When no user activity is detected on the second device for a specific time period, a request message is received by the first device from the second device, indicating switching the backlight of the screen of the second device to power-saving backlight settings. In response to the request message, a command message is sent by the first device to the second device to set the backlight of the screen of the second device based on the power-saving backlight settings.

A system and method are disclosed in which smart routing of a signal from a Wi-Fi device to an Access Point (AP) is performed by consulting a dynamic mesh network of measured path information between entities in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). The WLAN consists of at least two possible paths between the Wi-Fi device and the AP, and each path may include one or more sub-paths. The measured path information consists of Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) and Quality Indication (QI) measurements. The dynamic mesh network is generated by APs performing beamforming operations with other APs in the WLAN and obtaining distinct RSSI and QI for each measured path. The measured RSSI and QI of each path, for both the 2.4 and 5.0 GHz bands, is added to the mesh network. Wi-Fi devices entering the WLAN consult the mesh network to determine the optimum connectivity path to the AP, thus avoiding routing through an unnecessary number of additional APs as well as APs with an already heavy payload.
