Methods and systems for providing computer implemented services using user input are disclosed. To obtain the user input, a passive human interface device may be used. The human interface device may encode information regarding actuations of the human interface device in magnetic field distributions emanating from the human interface device. The magnetic field distribution may be sensed using a sensing device to identify user input provided by a user of the human interface device. The sensing device may be positioned in various locations to identify different types of user input.

An extended reality (XR) head-mounted display (HMD) device may include a processor, a memory device, a power management unit, an HMD video display to present to a user an extended reality image of an environment, and an HMD housing fitted to be formed around a user's eyes. The HMD housing includes an HMD shield, an HMD hood comprising a fabric shroud operatively coupled to a shroud frame and a face mask operatively coupled to the shroud frame to interface with a suer's face and the HMD hood operatively coupled to the HMD shield.

An information handling system stylus includes components to support active tip writing inputs at a touchscreen display controller by buttons integrated in the stylus housing as a thin material formed contiguous with the stylus housing material. A leaf spring biases upwards at the button thin material and has a magnet coupled to it that, upon a press at the button, is detected as increased magnetic flux by a magnetic sensor disposed under the leaf spring.

Disclosed is a covering for an information handling system. The covering includes a first layer and a second layer. The first layer is a polylactic acid layer that can be reinforced with a reinforcing component, such as glass fibers. The second layer is an aluminum layer, and can include at least 50% recycled aluminum. The outer surface of the first layer may be provided with a graphene-containing coating that can help improve thermal management.

Methods and systems for providing computer implemented services using user input are disclosed. To obtain the user input, a passive human interface device may be used. The human interface device may include any number of magnets that may produce a magnetic field used to discern the user input. The magnets may be mechanically coupled to actuatable elements of the human interface device thereby encoding information regarding actuations of the human interface device into the magnetic field produced by the magnets. The magnetic field may be sensed and used to identify actuations by the user which may indicate input from the user.

An information handling system operating an HMD device may include a video display device to display application images or a fiducial image when the HMD device is worn by a user; the HMD device including: a display device in the HMD device to present to a user an XR (XR) image of a surrounding XR environment; a pass-through camera to detect the fiducial image displayed by the video display device; and an HMD processor to receive data from an HMD wearing sensor indicating that the user is wearing the HMD device and execute computer readable program code to display an XR environment to the user including an XR image version of the application images presented to the user via the video display device; wherein detection of the fiducial image triggers an API with the XR image version of the video display application images via the video display device.

Methods and systems for providing computer implemented services using user input are disclosed. To obtain the user input, a passive human interface device may be used. The human interface device may include a magnet that may produce a magnetic field used to discern the user input. The magnet may be mechanically coupled to actuatable portions of the human interface device thereby facilitating both translation and rotation of the magnet responsive to actuations by a user. The translation and rotation of the magnet may be sensed and used to identify user input provided by the user. Sensing elements integrated into a keyboard may be used to obtain user input from the human interface device.

Methods and systems for providing computer implemented services using user input are disclosed. To obtain the user input, a human interface device may be used. Interpretation of actuation of the human interface device may be based on a location of the human interface device relative to a sensing system when the actuation is performed. Sensing elements integrated into the sensing system may be used to obtain user input from the human interface device at the location, the user input then being interpreted based on the location to provide the computer implemented services.

Methods and systems for providing computer implemented services using user input are disclosed. To obtain the user input, a passive human interface device may be used. The human interface device may include a magnet that may produce a magnetic field used to discern the user input. The magnet may be mechanically coupled to actuatable portions of the human interface device thereby encoding information regarding both of changes in position of the human interface device and actuations of the actuatable portions into a magnetic field emanating from the human interface device. Sensing elements integrated into a sensing system may be used to sense the emanating magnetic field to obtain user input from the human interface device.

Security on an information handling system may be improved by using a stylus. A stylus provides unique information about a user that may not be acquired by an information handling system through other methods. For example, a user's handwriting is often unique to that user and may provide a security check on the information handling system to confirm the user's identity. Further, the stylus is usually held in the user's hand and may be used to check the user's fingerprint to confirm the user's identity. These authentication techniques, including fingerprinting and handwriting, may be used to maintain persistent authentication while the user is using the stylus. As the user continues to interact with the information handling system with the stylus, the stylus continues to receive the user's fingerprint and handwriting, which may be checked to confirm the user of the information handling system is still the expected user.

User authentication for an information handling system using a secured stylus

Methods and systems for providing computer implemented services using user input are disclosed. To obtain the user input, a human interface device may be used. Interpretation of actuation of the human interface device may be customized to the types of actuations that users are able to perform. To customize the types of the actuations, users may perform actuations of the human interface device for various types of user input to establish associations between the actuations and the user input. The associations may be used to train an inference model usable to identify user input based on performed actions of the human interface device.

System and method for customized user input

Methods and systems for providing computer implemented services using user input are disclosed. To obtain the user input, a passive human interface device may be used. The human interface device may include a magnet that may produce a magnetic field used to discern the user input. The magnet may be mechanically coupled to actuatable portions of the human interface device thereby facilitating both translation and rotation of the magnet responsive to actuations by a user. The translation and rotation of the magnet may be sensed and used to identify user input provided by the user.

System and method for obtaining user input with magnetic sensing

A tablet information handling system selectively couples to a charging stand and charging dock with opposing sets of spaced magnets to have magnetic attraction hold a wireless charging receiver aligned with a wireless charger. Magnetic attraction is greatest when the tablet information handling system couples in a landscape or portrait orientation and is reduced for removal of the tablet information handling system by rotating to an offset orientation so that magnets align with opposing spaces, resulting in a reduced magnetic attraction. A sensor disposed in a space detects the offset rotation by detecting the increased magnetic flux of the magnet aligning with the space so that a user interface can provide an end user with an indication that the tablet information handling system is positioned for separation from the charging stand or charging dock.
