A system can include a power cable that includes a plug and a cord; and a power supply unit that includes wireless charging circuitry and a disk shaped body that includes a recess, a power connector disposed in the recess and a cable notch as a passage from the recess to an outer perimeter of the disk shaped body, where the power connector is electrically coupled to the wireless charging circuitry and where the plug couples to the power connector and the cord passes through the cable notch.

Power supply system

A system can include a processor; memory accessible to the processor; a base housing; a display housing that includes a display operatively coupled to the processor, a display side, and a back side that includes a back side mobile device docking surface; a hinge assembly that couples the display housing and the base housing; and mobile device control circuitry that, responsive to docking of a mobile device to the back side mobile device docking surface, issues a mobile device operational control command.

Computing system

A method can include receiving by a mobile device, an identifier transmitted wirelessly from a tagged device; accessing proximity information using the identifier and the mobile device; performing a wireless ranging protocol using the mobile device to determine a distance from the mobile device to the tagged device; and establishing a control session for control of the tagged device using the mobile device, where the distance is within a distance limit specified by the proximity information.

Automated device control session

An electronic device includes a housing, a camera system, one or more display devices, and one or more processors. The one or more display devices are coupled to the housing and configurable in multiple different orientations relative to the housing. The one or more processors determine a current orientation of the one or more display devices relative to the housing, and determine an effective field of view (FOV) of a surrounding environment based on the current orientation of the one or more display devices. The one or more processors perform image analysis on a set of image data generated by the camera system. The set of image data is limited to the effective FOV.

Electronic device and method of managing field of view based on display orientation

A system can include a display assembly that includes a rectangular housing that includes a back side that includes a raised portion and an attachment surface adjacent to the raised portion; and a stand that includes a base, a joint assembly and a coupling that magnetically couples to the attachment surface of the display assembly.

Display system

A case can include a base that includes at least one input device; a display device holder; a hinge that couples the base and the display device holder; and a flexible back end that automatically extends backwardly responsive to opening rotation of the display device holder with respect to the base via the hinge.

Computing device case

A system can include a display housing that includes a display, a frame, a display side, and a back side; and a cellular phone coupling that couples a cellular phone to the display housing with a portion of the cellular phone extendable a distance beyond an edge of the frame of the display housing.

A system can include a display device that includes a rectangular housing that includes a back side that includes a first arrangement of magnets; and a stand that includes a base, a flap and a hinge that couples the flap to the base, where the flap includes a second arrangement of magnets, where the first arrangement of magnets and the second arrangement of magnets provide a first magnetic attraction force that couples the rectangular housing to the flap in a first position and a second magnetic attraction force that couples the rectangular housing to the flap in a second position, where, in the second position, the rectangular housing is rotated by 90 degrees with respect to the first position.

A foldable device can include a processor; memory accessible to the processor; a foldable frame that includes a hinge assembly that defines a folding axis offset from a center of the foldable frame; and a foldable display supported by the foldable frame and operatively coupled to the processor.

Foldable device

A device can include a display that includes a display area; and an optical assembly that includes an optical element that defines an origin of a view of a camera, where the optical element is positionable directly in front of the display area of the display.

Optical assembly

A device can include a processor; memory accessible to the processor; a microphone operatively coupled to the processor; a network interface operatively coupled to the processor; circuitry that parses audio signals received via the microphone for a name and a type of device; circuitry that analyzes network information associated with remote devices accessible via the network interface based at least in part on at least one of the name and the type of device to associate the name and the type of device with one of the remote devices; and circuitry that stores the name and the type of device to the memory in association with the one of the remote devices.

Natural language connectivity

An approach is provided that uses an array of LEDs to illuminate for digital image capturing. A system that includes a processor, a memory accessible by the processor, a digital camera accessible by the processor, a display screen accessible by the processor, and an array of a plurality of LEDs surrounding the display screen, where the array of LEDs is also accessible by the processor. Preferred image quality attributes are retrieved. Then a setting of a set of LEDs is made to a lighting attribute, such as color or brightness. Afterwards, the an image of a subject illuminated by the plurality of LEDs is captured and attributes of this image are compared to the preferred image quality attributes. Based on the comparison, the approach then adjusts the attributes of the set of LEDs.

Intelligent array of lights for illumination

One embodiment provides a method, including: engaging, at an information handing device, in a conversational session with a user; receiving an input from a source other than the user during the conversational session; and performing, at the information handling device, an action related to the conversational input in response to the received input. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Input during conversational session

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 identify coordinates of a camera relative to a screen and to present on the screen a video stream next to the coordinates responsive to identifying the coordinates of the camera.

Techniques for presenting video stream next to camera

For sorting and displaying digital notes on a digital whiteboard, an apparatus is disclosed. A system, method, and program product also perform the functions of the apparatus. The apparatus for sorting and displaying digital notes on a digital whiteboard includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores code executable by the processor. The processor receives a plurality of digital notes, identifies a plurality of categories, and sorts each digital note with at least one category based on metadata associated with each digital note. The processor displays, on the digital whiteboard, each of the plurality of digital notes at a location based on the at least one category.
