In aspects of digital content projection using sensor data, a first device obtains first data and second data using one or more sensors. The first device establishes a wireless connection with a second device. The first device transmits first signaling via the wireless connection based on the first data. The first signaling indicates for the second device to initiate sharing of digital content. The first device transmits second signaling via the wireless connection based on the second data. The second signaling indicates for the second device to transmit the digital content to a third device based on initiating the sharing of the digital content. In some examples, the first signaling and the second signaling include the first data and the second data. The second device establishes a wireless connection with the third device to initiate the sharing of the digital content and to transmit the digital content.

Digital content projection using sensor data

In aspects of application-initiated input device activation, a media server receives a request to stream an application to a display device. The media server activates an input device connected to the display device in response to the request. The media server restricts use of the display device to the input device while the application remains active on the display device.

Application-initiated input device activation

An electronic device included a first energy storage device coupled to a second energy storage device by a conductor. A thermal mitigation circuit, or alternatively, one or more processors, determine whether to draw more current from the first energy storage device or the second energy storage device as a function of a geometric configuration of the electronic device and a support condition of the electronic device. Current can be drawn from the second energy storage device situated in the second device housing, for example, when the electronic device is hand supported by the first device housing unless secondary factors exist. When charging states of the first energy storage device and/or second energy storage device are too low to do this, the one or more processors can present a prompt on the user interface instructing the user to turn the device over.

In aspects of input device-initiated application activation, a media server detects initiation of an input device based on a monitoring of a set of one or more input devices that include the input device. In response to the initiation of the input device, the media server activates a streaming of an application to a display device connected to the media server. The media server restricts use of the display device to the input device while the application remains active on the display device.

Input device-initiated application activation

An electronic device, a method and a computer program product for selecting at least one of a first energy storage device and a second energy storage device to power at least one power consuming component based on identified environmental factors. The method includes, receiving, via a processor, a first temperature value from a temperature sensor, determining if the first temperature value is less than a threshold temperature value, and in response to the first temperature value being less than the threshold temperature value, detecting, via a sensor, which of a first housing and a second housing is being held. The method further includes in response to detecting the first housing is being held, triggering a power source selection circuit to select a first energy storage device to provide power to at least one power consuming component, and transition from drawing power from a second energy storage device.

Techniques for speaker type for audio output are described. For instance, the described techniques can be implemented to adapt audio output of an audio system to user position in an environment as well as speaker types for audio devices of the audio system.

Speaker type for audio output

An electronic device includes a device housing and a blade assembly carrying a blade and slidably coupled to the device housing. The electronic device includes a translation mechanism operable to slide the blade assembly relative to the device housing. The electronic device includes one or more processors operable with the translation mechanism. The one or more processors automatically transition the blade assembly to the peek position when a front-facing imager or front-facing loudspeaker is required unless a privacy mode of operation is enabled, wherein transition of the blade assembly to the peek position is precluded.

A compute box includes a communication device and one or more processors. The one or more processors, in response to the communication device being electronically in communication with a flexible content presentation companion device, determine a visible area available on the flexible content presentation companion device as a function of its geometric configuration. The one or more processors format content for presentation on the visible area available on the flexible content presentation companion device and cause the communication device to deliver the content to the flexible content presentation companion device. When the geometric configuration changes, the one or more processors can generate a visible display area adjustment animation to smoothly transfer the content to a new visible area.

A compute box includes a communication device and one or more processors. The one or more processors, in response to the communication device being electronically in communication with a flexible content presentation companion device and at least one other flexible content presentation companion device, determine a geometric configuration of each flexible content presentation companion device. The one or more processors format content for presentation on the visible area available on the flexible content presentation companion device and another visible area of another flexible content presentation companion device and cause the communication device to deliver the content to each flexible content presentation companion device. When the geometric configuration of any flexible content presentation companion device changes, the one or more processors can generate a visible display area adjustment animation to smoothly transfer the content to a new visible area.
