In example implementations, a method is provided. The method may be executed by a processor. The method includes receiving an image. The image is analyzed to obtain facial features. Contextual information is obtained and a vector including a facial feature class of the facial features and contextual feature classes of the contextual information is generated. A facial recognition is then performed based on the vector.

Facial recognitions based on contextual information

A transmission of a representation of an endpoint is disclosed. A performance of a source media is detected in a transmission of the representation of the endpoint. The detected performance of the source media is replaced with the source media in the image during transmission.

Teleconference transmission

In example implementations, a method is provided. The method may be executed by a processor of a security system. The method includes detecting a robot. The robot may then be validated. The response of the security system may be modified in response to the robot that is detected and validated.

Modification of responses to robot detections

Examples disclosed herein relate to a conference call host. Examples include to establishing, by a first computing system, a first secure connection to a second computing system via a wireless network in response to receiving a secure connection request from the second computing system; the first computing system and the second computing system are in physical proximity to each other. Examples include to provide an operating system session to the second computing system through the secure connection while the first computing system and the second computing system remain in physical proximity to each other; the operating system is stored on and executable by the first computing system. Examples include to provide a connection to a conferencing platform to the second computing system via the first secure connection, the conference call at least among the first computing system, the second computing system, and a remote user.

A technique includes sensing a wireless charging station that includes a wireless charging transmitter and determining a status for the machine based at least in part on the sensing of the wireless charging station. The technique also includes assisting with a process to wirelessly transfer power to the machine, where assisting includes causing the machine to provide guidance to the user based at least in part on the determined status.

Assisting wireless transfer of power to a machine

An example display device includes an input module to receive a touch input that identifies a shape of an electronic device. The display device also includes a display panel. The display panel is to display first data from a computing device in a first region of the display panel. The display panel is also to, in response to a reception of the touch input, display the first data in a second region of the display panel and display second data from the electronic device in a virtual representation of the electronic device in a third region of the display panel. The third region corresponds to the shape of the electronic device. The second data is received via a connection to the computing device. The second region is smaller than the first region.

Display devices with virtual reprsentations of electronic devices

Localization from an access point and mobile device can include receiving information from a mobile device and initiating a location package based on information received from the mobile device to select a location server. Localization information can be requested information from the location server, where the localization information includes localization information from at least one access point and information received from the mobile device. Based on the localization information from the location server and information from the mobile device, at least one of a plurality of packages to be initiated can be determined.

Localization from access point and mobile device

Examples disclosed herein provide the ability to identify the location of an individual within a room by using a combination of microphone arrays and voice pattern matching. In one example, a computing device may extract a voice detected by microphones of a microphone array located in a room, perform voice pattern matching to identify an individual associated with the extracted voice, and determine a location of the individual in the room based on an intensity of the voice detected individually by the microphones of the microphone array.

Locating individuals using microphone arrays and voice pattern matching

Examples are directed to a gaze detector using reference frames in media. One example includes inserting reference frames between frames of media presented on a display at a first frequency, analyzing images of reflections of the reference frames, and determining a portion of the media that is being viewed by a user based on the reflections of the reference frames from a user.

Gaze detector using reference frames in media

A computer device comprising a display member coupled to a base member to enable variable positioning of the display member relative to the base member, and an initiating system to automatically initiate execution of a basic input output system (BIOS) based on a position of the display member relative to the base member.

System for initiating execution of bios (basic input/output system) based on position of display member relative to base member

A wireless communications validation system comprises a validation module configured to determine an identity of an antenna disposed in a computer system and an identity of a wireless module disposed in the computer system, the validation module configured to validate permissible combination of the antenna with the wireless module.

Wireless communications validation system and method

A notebook computer has a collapsible keyboard in which elastomeric key switch domes on the top side of a dome sheet are horizontally shiftable under the keys to selectively underlie and support them for use, or to permit the keys to be collapsed to depressed positions to reduce the thickness of the keyboard in its storage and transport orientation. When the computer display housing lid is closed it contacts and pivotally depresses a small LCD status display structure supported on the top side of the computer base housing rearwardly of the keyboard and linked to the dome sheet in a manner such that the dome sheet is responsively shifted to collapse the keys. When the display housing lid is subsequently opened and disengaged from the LCD status display structure, the LCD status display structure is spring-returned to its original elevated position to responsively shift the dome sheet in a manner causing the elastomeric domes to again underlie and resiliently support the keys in their elevated operating positions.

Collapsible keyboard mechanism with integrated LCD display

A keyboard matrix of a keyboard has drive lines including a set of lines to be selectively activated for detection of depressed keys and scan lines including a set of lines to be selectively monitored for detection of depressed keys. The keyboard matrix includes circuitry for connecting one of the drive lines with one of the scan lines for providing an identification of the keyboard.

Keyboard identification

A notebook computer is provided with a collapsible keyboard in which a dome sheet with elastomeric key return dome members thereon is horizontally shiftable through elevation and retraction strokes to respectively shift the keys between elevated operating positions in which the domes underlie and support the keys, and retracted positions in which the domes are shifted away from their key-underlying positions. A springless linkage structure interconnects the dome sheet to a cylindrical hinge area portion of the computer's lid housing which rotates with the lid housing as it is opened and closed. The linkage structure functions to drive the dome sheet through its elevation stroke during an initial portion of the lid housing's pivotal opening movement, and to drive the dome sheet through its retraction stroke during a terminal portion of the lid housing's closing movement. Force is exerted on the dome sheet by the springless linkage structure only during forced pivotal movement of the lid housing.
