In one aspect, an apparatus includes a processor, a touch-enabled display operatively coupled to the processor, and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to execute a handwriting recognition engine automatically without requiring user selection of a handwriting recognition application to start the handwriting recognition engine, receive input from the touch-enabled display, determine whether the input indicates a character, and automatically store the character responsive to a determination that the input indicates a character.

Automatic launch and data fill of application

An aspect provides a method, including: capturing, using a gesture input component of an information handling device, a user gesture input; processing, using a processor, the captured user gesture input to extract one or more features; comparing, using a processor, the one or more extracted features of the user gesture input to a predetermined gesture input; determining, using a processor, that a confidence level calculated based on the comparing exceeds a lower similarity threshold but does not exceed a higher similarity threshold; and performing an action selected from the group consisting of communicating with the user, and adjusting the gesture input component. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Interactive user gesture inputs

In one aspect, a device includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to receive a first data stream from a first conferencing service operated by a first conferencing service provider and to receive second data stream from a second conferencing service operated by a second conferencing service provider. The instructions are then executable to merge the first and second data streams.

Systems and methods to merge data streams from different conferencing platforms

In one aspect, a first device includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to determine, based on input from at least one sensor, whether a conference room is in use. The instructions are also executable to, based on the determination, provide an electronic notification to a second device regarding whether the conference room is in use.

Systems and methods to electronically indicate whether conference room is in use based on sensor input

In one aspect, a device includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to switch a hub device from a hub mode to a slave or pass-through mode responsive to one or more contextual triggers.

Dynamic switching between hub mode and slave mode

An embodiment provides a method, including: operating a sensor of an information handling device to capture location information of a user; determining, using a processor to analyze the location information, a position of a finger of a user relative to a keyboard location; determining, using the processor, a difference between an expected location for the finger and the position of the finger of the user relative to the keyboard location; and offering, using the processor, feedback regarding the difference determined. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Typing feedback derived from sensor information

In one aspect, a device includes at least one processor, at least one touch-sensitive display accessible to the at least one processor, and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to present at least a first input element in a first orientation on the at least one touch-sensitive display and to receive a signal from at least one sensor indicating a direction to a user in proximity to the at least one touch-sensitive display. The instructions are also executable to, responsive to the signal, present the first input element in a second orientation on the at least one touch-sensitive display.

Systems and methods for presentation of input elements based on direction to a user

Apparatuses, methods, and program products are disclosed for controlling appliances. One apparatus includes a processor, and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to receive control data from an application. The control data corresponds to multiple appliance types. The code is executable by the processor to control a first appliance type of the multiple appliance types as a direct result of receiving the control data. The code is executable by the processor to control a second appliance type of the multiple appliance types as a direct result of receiving the control data.

Apparatus, method, and program product for controlling appliances

One embodiment provides a method, including: detecting an event; determining, using a processor of a wireless node, one or more other wireless nodes within wireless range; generating, after the event, a packet of data including identifications of the one or more wireless nodes and positional data associated therewith; and transmitting, over a network connection, the packet of data to at least one of the one or more wireless nodes. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Ascertaining a region of interest in a wireless network

In one aspect, an apparatus includes a processor and an array of plural microphones and/or an array of plural speakers. Storage accessible to the processor includes instructions executable by the processor to establish a setting of at least one element in at least one of the arrays based at least in part on a signal from at least one proximity sensor.

Techniques to optimize microphone and speaker array based on presence and location

One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving authentication input, at a device, that is sent to an aggregate service device; requesting file system data, retrieved by the aggregate service device, analogous to data stored on a remote device and data stored on a cloud storage device; receiving at the device, after providing the authentication input to the aggregate service device, the file system data from the aggregate service device; and displaying, on the device, a user interface in the form of a file manager application generated from the requested file system data.

Aggregate service with user interface

One embodiment provides a method, including: sending, from a device, input from a user requesting access to data retrievable by an aggregate service device; sending, from the device, input from the user selecting, from the aggregate service device, a selection of data; and sending a distribution command; wherein the distribution command comprises information related to distributing a pointer indicating the selection of data.

Aggregate service with file sharing

Apparatuses, methods, and program products are disclosed for controlling appliances. One apparatus includes a processor, and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to detect a usage history of multiple types of appliances in a building. The code is executable by the processor to determine changes to operation of the multiple types of appliances based on the usage history. The code is executable by the processor to control the multiple types of appliances based on the determined changes to the operation of the multiple types of appliances.

A voice assistant of a device is activated not by a key word being spoken but by recognizing speech and determining whether context of the speech indicates that audible voice assistance is appropriate.

Natural language voice assistant

For supplementing digital text with multimedia effects, systems, apparatus, and methods are disclosed. The apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code includes code that determines a current reading position, determines a narrative context based on the current reading position, selects a multimedia effect based on the narrative context, and presents the multimedia effect to a user. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes an image sensor that receives image data and determines the current reading position based on the image data. In other embodiments, the apparatus may determine the current reading position based on biometric position data.
