Methods and systems for providing computer implemented services using user input are disclosed. To obtain the user input, a passive human interface device may be used. The human interface device may encode information regarding actuations of the human interface device in magnetic field distributions emanating from the human interface device. The magnetic field distribution may be sensed using a sensing device to identify user input provided by a user of the human interface device. The sensing device may be positioned in various locations to identify different types of user input.

Methods and systems are provided for determining a posture of a user of an Information Handling System (IHS). One or more cameras of the IHS are utilized to generate a two-dimensional image of the user as they operate the IHS. Landmarks that correspond to physical features of the user are identified through processing of the two-dimensional image generated using the cameras. The system then identifies, from a database comprising a plurality of differing wireframes, a subset of the wireframes that optimally match the physical feature landmarks of the user, each of the wireframes associated with an ergonomic level, and performs a regression analysis technique on the ergonomic level of each of the subset of wireframes to determine a posture score of the user.

Systems and methods are provided for detecting mental fatigue by a user of an Information Handling System (IHS). Upon the user initiating operation of the IHS, activity by the user and physiological parameters of the user are monitored using capabilities of the IHS and, in some cases by wearable devices. Estimates of the user's mental fatigue during the session are generated based on the monitoring. Embodiments identify when the user takes a break from operating the IHS and also identify when the user resumes use of the IHS. Upon the user resuming the session, the user is prompted for their level of mental fatigue prior to taking the break, thus providing a reliable source of feedback data that is utilized in updating and improving machine learning models that are used to generate the estimates of the user's mental fatigue based on observed physiological parameters and activity by the user.

Methods and systems for providing computer implemented services using user input are disclosed. To obtain the user input, a passive human interface device may be used. The human interface device may include any number of magnets that may produce a magnetic field used to discern the user input. The magnets may be mechanically coupled to actuatable elements of the human interface device thereby encoding information regarding actuations of the human interface device into the magnetic field produced by the magnets. The magnetic field may be sensed and used to identify actuations by the user which may indicate input from the user.

Systems and methods detect the posture of a user of an IHS (Information Handling System). An image is generated of a user and of the physical environment in which the user is operating the IHS. The image is processed to generate segregated images of the user and of the physical environment. The segregated image of the physical environment is classified as corresponding to a known environment in which the user has operated the IHS and that is associated with a probability of an ergonomic posture being used while in that particular environment. The segregated image of the user is processed to determine a physical posture of the user relative to the IHS. An ergonomic risk score is generated based on deviations of the user's posture from an ideal posture. The ergonomic risk score is scaled based on the probability of an ergonomic posture being used, due to the environment.
