One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at an information handling device, a request from a user to access content; detecting, using at least one sensor associated with the information handling device, a face of the user; generating, using at least one audio output device and subsequent to the detecting, an audible sound; determining, using a processor, whether an expected movement of the face is identified with respect to the audible sound; and granting, responsive to determining that the expected movement is identified, the user access to the content. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Sound-based user liveness determination

One embodiment provides a method, including: accepting, at an input surface of an electronic device, ink strokes; determining, using a processor of the electronic device, that the ink strokes include a selection indicator pair; associating, using a processor of the electronic device, the selection indicator pair with content; and selecting, using a processor of the electronic device, the content associated with the selection indicator pair. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Two stroke quick input selection

One embodiment provides a method, including: identifying a defined display region; receiving, on an off screen input device, user input; scaling, using a processor, the user input based on the defined display region; and displaying, on a display device, the scaled user input within the defined display region. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Flexible mapping of a writing zone to a digital display

One embodiment provides a method, including: providing, using a light source operatively coupled to an information handling device, illumination on an object; capturing, using a sensor operatively coupled to the information handling device, illumination reflectance from the object; determining, using a processor and based on the illumination reflectance, whether the object is associated with a human user and whether the human user is an authorized user; and authenticating, responsive to determining that the object is associated with the human user and that the human user is an authorized user, the human user. Other aspects are described and claimed.

User authentication using variant illumination

An approach is provided to use a first translation attribute that is received at a user interface from a user to automatically translate a document. The source document that is in a source natural language is translated to a target document that is in a target natural language by using a machine translator that utilizes the first translation attribute, such as adequacy or fluency. The target document is analyzed with the analysis resulting in a second translation attribute (e.g., either adequacy or fluency, whichever is different from the first translation attribute). The target (translated) document and the second translation attribute are then provided to the user, such as at the user interface.

User interface for natural language translation using user provided attributes

Systems and methods for applying data optimization to images to meet a computer vision requirement are disclosed. According to an aspect, a method includes determining a computer vision requirement of a remote computing device. The method also includes determining, based on the computer vision requirement, a data optimization technique to apply to multiple images. Further, the method includes applying the data optimization technique to one or more of the images to generate data for communication. The method also includes communicating the data to the remote computing device.

One embodiment provides a method, including: accepting, at an input surface, pen input; determining, using a processor of an electronic device, a modifier key characteristic of the pen input; and executing, using the processor, a modifier key function associated with the pen input. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Modifier key input on a soft keyboard using pen input

An approach is provided in which the approach initiates a video conference between a set of local users in a physical area conversing on a display with one or more remote users. The approach selects a first one of the set of local users based on analyzing a set of user characteristics corresponding to the set of local users and positions the display based on a location of the first local user in the physical area.

Screen positioning based on dominant user characteristic determination

One embodiment provides a method, including: detecting, from a user and using a sensor operatively coupled to an information handling device, for facial features associated with an authorized user; requesting, using a prompt provided by an output device operatively coupled to an information handling device, the user to mimic at least one emotion; detecting, responsive to the requesting, at least one facial expression provided by the user; and authenticating the user responsive to determining that: the at least one facial expression corresponds to at least one accepted facial expression associated with the at least one emotion and the at least one facial expression comprises the facial features. Other aspects are described and claimed.

User authentication via emotion detection

An apparatus for selecting an efficient processor includes a comparison module that compares performance characteristics of a plurality of processors available for execution of a function, where each performance characteristic varies as a function of function size. The apparatus includes a selection module that selects, based on a size of the function, a processor from the plurality of processors with a best performance for execution of the function, and an execution module that executes the function on the selected processor.

Best performance delivery in heterogeneous computing unit environment

An apparatus for selecting a memory management method includes a memory condition module that determines memory parameters of host memory and device memory prior to a device executing a function and a memory selection module that selects a memory management method based on the memory parameters. The apparatus includes and an implementation module that implements the selected memory management method in association with execution of the function.

Dynamic memory management in workload acceleration

In one aspect, an apparatus includes a processor, a sensor accessible to the processor, a display accessible to the processor, and memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to receive first input from the sensor, and based on the first input, identify a location on the display at which a user is looking. The instructions are also executable to receive second input from an input device in communication with the apparatus and, responsive to receipt of the second input and based on the location on the display, execute a function at the apparatus regardless of a location of the input device when the second input was received.

Execution of function based on location of display at which a user is looking and manipulation of an input device

One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at an information handling device, an indication to display extended reality content; determining, using a processor, a user's geographic position in an area; accessing, from an accessible storage location, map data associated with the area; identifying, using at least one sensor associated with the information handling device, a user's line of sight; determining, based on the user's geographic position and the map data, an object associated with the user's line of sight; determining, using a processor, an identity of the object; and displaying the extended-reality content for the identified object in a field of view of the information handling device. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Extended reality information for identified objects

One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at information handling device, an indication to display extended reality content in a field of view; identifying, using a processor, at least one portion in the field of view where the extended reality content should not be displayed; and excluding, responsive to the identifying, the extended reality content from being displayed on the at least one portion in the field of view.
