An electronic device for capturing images is provided that can include a camera and one or more processors. The electronic device can also include a memory storing program instructions accessible by the one or more processors. Responsive to execution of the program instructions, the one or more processors are configured to obtain context data for a scene in a field of view (FOV) of the camera of the electronic device, identify an object in the FOV based on the context data; and provide instructions related to the FOV or operate the camera to adjust the FOV based on the object identified.

System and method for operating a camera based on context data

In one aspect, a device includes a processor and storage with instructions executable to identify a first frequency range of sound associated with an environment and to determine whether the first frequency range matches a second frequency range at least to within a threshold. The second frequency range is associated with a voice of a digital assistant. Responsive to the first frequency range matching the second frequency rage at least to within the threshold, the instructions are executable to change a setting for the digital assistant so that the voice of the digital assistant outputs audio in a third frequency range that does not match the first frequency range at least to within the threshold.

Change of digital assistant voice frequency based on matching frequency from environment

For augmented functions, a method determines a support relationship between a first device and a second device in a physical environment, wherein at least the first device is an electronic device. The method determines an augmented function for the first device, wherein the augmented function provides the support relationship. The method executes the augmented function on the first device.

Augmented functions for cooperative enhancement

A method can include sensing condition of power cells in a configured multiple power cell pack via a pack management unit; based in part on the sensing, identifying a number of the power cells as a number of target cells via the pack management unit; disabling sensing condition of the number of target cells via the pack management unit; and reconfiguring the multiple power cell pack via the pack management unit to provide a reconfigured multiple power cell pack that provides power without the number of target cells.

Reconfigurable battery pack

One embodiment provides a method, the method including: identifying, using a disturbance minimization system, a device as a primary device; identifying, using the disturbance minimization system, a context of the primary device; determining, using the disturbance minimization system and based upon the context of the primary device, that sound disturbances need reduced in an audible environment of the primary device; and reducing, using the disturbance minimization system and responsive to determining the sound disturbances need reduced, at least one sound disturbance produced by at least one device other than the primary device.

Device disturbance reduction

A computer implemented method includes receiving a request for a boot into a system factory reset mode, accessing a virtual boot indication in an operating system memory area, identifying an address of a virtual boot user space memory area as a function of the virtual boot indication, and booting the system into the factory reset mode using the virtual boot user space memory without overriding user settings in the user space memory.

Reversible virtual factory reset

Methods, apparatus, and computer program products that can automatically search for topics related to discovered devices are disclosed herein. One method includes a processor discovering a device and automatically searching a set of data resources on a network for a set of topics related to the discovered device. Apparatus and computer program products that include hardware and/or software that can perform the methods for automatically searching for topics related to a discovered device are also disclosed herein.

Automatically searching for topics related to discovered devices

An electronic device is provided that has an input device including an input sensor configured to detect synaptic signals from a user. An electronic device sensor is also provided that detects environmental signals or user signals. The electronic device also includes a memory to store executable instructions, and one or more processors. When implementing the executable instructions, the one or more processors determine an environmental characteristic based on the environmental signals or a user characteristic based on the user signals, and determine when to grant access to the electronic device based on the synaptic signals based on the environmental characteristic or the user characteristic.

Device and method for accessing electronic device

One embodiment provides a method, the method including: detecting, using a notification extension system, an incoming communication request on an information handling device; identifying, using the notification extension system, an environmental context of a user with respect to the information handling device; determining, using the notification extension system and based upon the environmental context of the user, the user is unable to answer the incoming communication request within a default communication request notification length; and extending, using the notification extension system, based upon the environmental context of the user, and responsive to determining the user is unable to answer the incoming communication request, a length of the communication request notification.

Communication request notification extension

Techniques for internet protocol (IP) messages via short message service (SMS) are described and may be implemented via a wireless device to enable messages originated via an IP technique (e.g., an IP application) to be converted to SMS messages when a condition occurs that prevents sending and/or receiving an IP message.

Internet protocol messages via short message service

A method and system in which a waste gas or liquid product is combusted or otherwise used at a well site or other source location to drive a generator to produce electrical energy which is then stored in a portable storage device, such as rechargeable battery or an array of rechargeable batteries, which can subsequently be transported, for example, to a charging station for vehicles or other electrical devices or systems, or to a delivery location for downloading the portable stored electrical energy to a power supply grid.

Portable electrical energy produced from waste gas or liquid

One embodiment provides a method, the method including: detecting, at an audio provision system including at least one audio output device, an initiation of audio being provided via the at least one audio output device to a user; identifying and tracking, using at least one sensor of the audio provision system, a location of the user with respect to the at least one audio output device; and directing, using the audio provision system, audio provided by the at least one audio output device to the user, wherein the directing includes adjusting, based upon the location of the user, at least one attribute of the at least one audio output device, wherein the adjusting includes iteratively adjusting the at least one attribute as the location of the user changes. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Directional audio provision system

Apparatus, methods, and program products for dynamically shaping are computing display screen are disclosed. One apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to receive an input from a user, determine if the input is a predefined input, and modify the size and/or shape of the computing display screen in response to the input being the predefined input. Methods and computer program products that perform the operations and/or functions of the apparatus are also disclosed.

Apparatus, methods, and program products for modifying a size and/or shape of a computing display screen

One embodiment provides a method, including: monitoring, using a battery management unit, a condition of one or more cells within a block of a battery, wherein the monitoring comprises capturing, using a camera associated with the battery management unit, an image of an exterior of the one or more cells; determining, using a processor, that the condition of at least one of the one or more cells has fallen below a predetermined threshold, wherein the determining comprises identifying that the exterior of the at least one of the one or more cells has undergone a color change event; and providing, responsive to the determining, a notification.
