One embodiment provides a method, including: identifying, based on context data, a location of an information handling device; accessing a settings profile for the information handling device that is based on the identified location; determining, using a processor, whether at least one current setting on the information handling device is inconsistent with the settings profile; and adjusting, responsive to determining that the at least one current setting is inconsistent with the settings profile, the at least one current setting to match the settings profile for the location. Other aspects are described and claimed.

System setting adjustment based on location

One embodiment provides a method, including: capturing, using at least one camera sensor coupled to an information handling device, an image of a location; identifying, based upon analysis of the captured image, at least one user position in the location; determining, using a processor, whether a beamforming setting for a microphone array is optimized for the at least one user position; and adjusting, responsive to determining that the beamforming setting for the microphone array is not optimized for the at least one user position, the beamforming setting to an optimized beamforming setting. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Microphone setting adjustment based on user location

Apparatus, methods, and program products for preventing data snipping are disclosed. One apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to partition an electronic image into a plurality of graphics frames for display on a display device, wherein each separate graphics frame in the plurality of graphics frames includes a different portion of the electronic image, and transmit each separate graphics frame of the plurality of graphics frames to the display device, wherein each separate graphics frame in the plurality of graphics frames is separately transmitted to the display device for display thereon within each display cycle. Methods and computer program products that perform the operations and/or functions of the apparatus are also disclosed.

Apparatus, method, and program product for preventing data snipping

Apparatus, methods, and program products are disclosed for operating a display in privacy mode. One apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to detect an individual within an unauthorized zone in the field of view of a camera. The code is executable by the processor to operate a display in privacy mode in response to detecting the individual within the unauthorized zone. Methods and computer program products that perform the functions of the apparatus are also disclosed.

Apparatus, method, and program product for operating a display in privacy mode

In one aspect, a device may include at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to receive, from a stylus, at least one transmission indicating movement of the stylus. The instructions may also be executable to take, based on the at least one transmission, at least one action at the device. The stylus itself may include one or more motion sensors to sense the movement.

Use of sensors in electronic pens to execution functions

For point-of-interest determination and display, a processor detects an image event during a videoconference. The processor determines a point-of-interest for the video image of the videoconference based on the image event. The video image is at least a 180-degree image and the point-of-interest is a portion of the video image. The processor displays the point-of-interest from the video image on a display.

Point-of-interest determination and display

One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at a notch taskbar integrally coupled to an information handling device, an indication to perform an action, wherein the notch task bar is positioned adjacent to a notch of the information handling device; and performing, using a processor, the action Other aspects are described and claimed.

Notch taskbar

One embodiment provides a method, including: detecting, using one or more sensors, data associated with a device orientation; determining, using the data and at least one feature of an environment of the device, a device configuration; and implementing the determined device configuration on the device. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Device configuration using orientation cues

An electronic device is provided that comprises a housing, a processor and memory provided within the housing, a keyboard on the housing and a display. A camera assembly includes a camera and a camera support member having first and second ends. The camera is provided on the camera support member proximate the first end. The second end movably connected to the housing such that the camera support member may be moved from a closed state to an open state.

Camera assembly for electronic devices

An information processing device includes: a timing controller; a system device; and a display panel. The system device operates in accordance with at least a first operating system (OS) and a second OS, and outputs first original image data from the first OS and second original image data from the second OS to the timing controller. The display panel includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a predetermined display area. The timing controller includes: a memory; a writing unit; and a reading unit. The memory has a storage area associated with the display area. The writing unit stores the first original image data in a first individual storage area assigned to the first OS in the storage area, and stores the second original image data in a second individual storage area assigned to the second OS in the storage area. The reading unit reads image data stored in the storage area, frame by frame, and outputs the image data to the display panel.

Information processing device and controlling method for multiple operating systems

In one aspect, a device includes a processor, a first light source accessible to the processor, a second light source different from the first light source that is accessible to the processor, a camera accessible to the processor, and storage accessible to the processor. The storage bears instructions executable by the processor to actuate the first light source to execute a first function using the camera and actuate the second light source to execute a second function different from the first function using the camera.

Camera that uses light from plural light sources disposed on a device

One embodiment provides a method, including: detecting, using at least one sensor, a predetermined motion of an information handling device. An embodiment additionally receives, substantially during the predetermined motion and at an input location of the information handling device, activation input. An embodiment additionally activates, responsive to the receiving, a system associated with the information handling device. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Activating a device system without opening a device cover

Data pertaining to at least one user-specific color value can be accessed for output of at least one of red light, green light, and blue light, and images can be presented on a display based at least in part on the at least one user-specific color value.

Presentation of images on display based on user-specific color value(s)

For power-advantaged image data control, a method, system, and apparatus are disclosed. The method includes identifying, by use of a processor, a power source state, determining whether display data includes a power-adverse image based, at least in part, on the power source state, and replacing the power-adverse image with a power-advantaged image in response to the display data including the power-adverse image. In some embodiments, the method includes converting the power-adverse image into the power-advantaged image. In some embodiments, the method includes notifying a user, in response to displaying the power-advantaged image, that the power-advantaged image is displayed in place of the power-adverse image, and providing the user a control to display the power-adverse image in place of the power-advantaged image.
