A display diagnostic system and method include a sensor configured to monitor a parameter of a light emitter of a display device. The light emitter is configured to emit light to illuminate a display screen of the display device. The light emitter is powered by an inverter of the display device. The system and method include one or more processors that receive a sensor signal generated by the sensor. The sensor signal is indicative of the parameter of the light emitter monitored by the sensor at a first time. The one or more processors are configured to determine that the light emitter is inactive at the first time based on the sensor signal, and, responsive to determining that the light emitter is expected to be active at the first time, generate a control signal indicating a fault state of the inverter.

Display diagnostic system and method

The system and method provide a technique for providing an information handling device with increased access to secure data by detecting the location of an information handling device on a surface in relation to at least one sensor located within the physical surface, and determining that the information handling device is an authenticated device based upon a communication between the at least one sensor and the information handling device. An orientation of the at least one sensor(s) present in the physical surface, or a sensor trigger area of the physical surface, may align with previously associated sensors coupled to the information handling device. Subsequent to determining the position of the sensors coupled to the device aligns with the at least one sensor trigger area, the information handling device may be authenticated which results in increased access to the device.

Device authentication utilizing sensor trigger areas

Methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for blocking input/output (I/O) access to a computing system. A method includes establishing a portion of the machine-readable instructions as sole controller of the system responsive to the machine-readable instructions and preventing unauthorized replacement of the machine-readable instructions. The method also includes blocking user access to internal resources of the computing system and preventing predefined input/output (I/O) of the computing system.

Methods, systems, and program products for securely blocking access to system operations and data

One embodiment provides a method, the method including: receiving, at a shock analysis system, image data corresponding to at least one image capture device and associated with transportation of a package; determining, at the shock analysis system and by analyzing the image data, the package has undergone a shock of a magnitude exceeding a predetermined threshold; and performing, at the shock analysis system and responsive to determining the package has undergone the shock exceeding the predetermined threshold, at least one predetermined action, wherein the at least one predetermined action comprises notifying a user of the shock.

Image analysis to identify package shock

In one aspect, at least one device may include at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to access an image and to execute object recognition using the image to identify at least a first object from the image. The instructions may also be executable to access a database indicating whether use permissions are grantable for various objects and to determine, based on accessing the database, that use permissions are grantable for the first object. The instructions may then be executable to control a display to present a graphical user interface (GUI) on the display, where the GUI may indicate the use permissions for the first object and include a selector that is selectable to initiate secure communication to authenticate an entity as being granted the use permissions for the first object.

Graphical user interfaces for authentication to use digital content

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 a motion vector of a cursor presented on a first display and, based on identification of the motion vector, present the cursor on a second display located in a direction indicated by the motion vector.

Movement of cursor between displays based on motion vectors

Apparatuses, methods, and program products are disclosed for displaying video inputs. One apparatus includes a display, a processor, and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to receive, by use of the processor, multiple video inputs. The code is executable by the processor to determine display criteria of each video input of the multiple video inputs based on user selection. The code is executable by the processor to display, by use of the display, each video input of the multiple video inputs based on the display criteria of the respective video input.

Method, apparatus, and program product for authoring video content using stream embedded indicators

In one aspect, a device may include at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to identify a first email, identify a second email different from the first email, determine that the first and second emails are related, and move content from at least one of the first and second emails into a third email responsive to the determination. Present principles may also apply to other electronic message types besides emails.

Movement of content from first and second electronic messages into third electronic message

One embodiment provides a method, the method including: receiving, at an image glare reduction system, an indication to capture an image using a user device; determining, using the image glare reduction system, a function of the user device may cause glare in the image; and modifying, using the image glare reduction system and in response to the determining the function may cause glare, an attribute of the user device, wherein the modifying occurs during a shutter operation of the user device occurring during capture of the image.
