An information handling system having an audio switching dongle operatively coupled to first wireless speaker and microphone device, the audio switching dongle further including an audio switching dongle wireless radio system operatively coupled via a first Wi-Fi protocol wireless link to transmit and receive the audio data on an active audio data stream with the first wireless speaker and microphone device and a second, parallel Wi-Fi protocol wireless link with the second wireless speaker and microphone device in standby, the audio switching dongle wireless radio system to receive a switching command from the second wireless speaker and microphone device pursuant to a user switch input from a user, and a controller integrated circuit to activate the second, parallel Wi-Fi protocol wireless link to transmit and receive the audio data of the active audio data stream and to transition the first Wi-Fi protocol wireless link to standby.

System and method for switching system among plural wirelessly coupled input/output devices using a single wireless audio switching dongle

An information handling system keyboard includes an array of microphones having a defined layout that supports location of human voice sounds captured by the array of microphones to isolate voices originating from a defined distance and orientation while filtering other voices and non-voice sounds. A display included in the keyboard depicts a visual indication of voice quality that can include instructions to a speaker regarding adjustments to help obtain a desired voice capture quality to support a video or audio conference of an information handling system interfaced with the keyboard. The keyboard display also supports an interface to control a keyboard, video, mouse (KVM) switch interfaced with the keyboard.

Headset

A first wireless speaker and microphone device paired with an information handling system comprising a microphone, speaker, wireless radio system for conducting a first pairing with the information handling system for wireless communications, and memory for storing a pairing profile for the first pairing. A microcontroller to operatively couple the first wireless speaker and microphone device to a second wireless speaker and microphone device by conducting a second pairing between the first and second wireless speaker and microphone devices, and cloning and transmitting the pairing profile from the first pairing to the second wireless speaker and microphone device. The first wireless speaker and microphone device to receive a switching command to stop audio transmission and reception at the first wireless speaker and microphone device to allow transmission and reception at the second wireless speaker and microphone device using a cloned wireless link established with the cloned pairing profile.

Webcam

An information handling system immersive sound system presents audio at an end user from multiple axes that correspond to structures in a game application playing configuration, such as a chair headrest and arches that raise speakers over an end user. Spatial relationships between the end user and various distributed speakers are defined and then applied to create an immersive sound environment.

An information handling system peripheral camera ensures privacy with a cover that minimizes distance of a camera module to a front opening of the camera housing. For instance, opposing cover members rotate about geared ends that engage to translate rotation between the members, where the members meet over a camera opening to block capture of visual images and move to opposing sides to expose the camera module. In an alternative embodiment, a rotating shutter arrangement selectively covers the camera for security and also covers a microphone to provide security against unauthorized audible access through the camera. Selective covering and exposing of a camera module, infrared camera, microphone and user presence detection sensor support adaptive security at a camera based upon end user context.

An information handling stylus housing defines an expansion bay that accepts conforming replaceable modules to support a variety of different functions, such as a trigger, a capacitive touch input area, a haptic output film and an extra battery. The replaceable module couples into the replacement bay with magnetic attraction and a pin to hole interface. A set of pogo pins extending up from the main circuit board of the stylus contacts pads of the replaceable module to provide power and communication support.
