One embodiment provides a system, including: an information handling device comprising a camera; and a cover for the information handling device, comprising: a movable area obscuring and exposing the camera; at least one button controlling activation of the camera; and a communication mechanism facilitating communication between the cover and the information handling device. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Enhanced information handling device cover

A method includes sensing a hand position on a mobile device via sensors on the mobile device, providing information identifying the sensed hand position to a processor of the mobile device, identifying a position of a user interface on a touch screen display of the mobile device responsive to the information identifying the sensed hand position using the processor of the mobile device, and adjusting a user interface display position on the mobile device to the identified position using the processor of the mobile device.

Sensor based interface adjustment

An aspect provides a method, including: receiving, using a processor, data to be displayed across at least two hingedly coupled display devices; determining, using a processor, the display mode of the data, the display mode being selected from the group consisting of an occluded mode and a non-occluded mode; in the occluded mode, processing, using a processor, the data to occlude pixels of the data based upon the determined display mode, the pixels being occluded at a location where a physical separation exists between the at least two hingedly coupled display devices; and displaying, using the at least two hingedly coupled display devices, the data according to the display mode determined. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Displaying images across multiple displays

Exemplary method, system, and computer program product embodiments for displaying computer dashboard information are provided. In one embodiment, by way of example only, historical values associated with time intervals are displayed in a single gauge. The historical values are arranged in such a manner that at least one of the historical values is contrasted against a current value for comparison as a single metric. Additional system and computer program product embodiments are disclosed and provide related advantages.

Displaying computer dashboard information

A method for managing a system may include gathering, with a system manager, data about a first system event and a second system event. The method further includes determining, with the system manager, a plurality of first system event attribute values and a plurality of second system event attribute values. The first and second system event attribute values are based on the data gathered about the first and second system event. The method further includes generating, with the system manager, a display of the plurality of first system event attribute values in hierarchal relation to the plurality of second system event attribute values.

Management of system events using one or more event attributes

In one aspect, a first device includes a housing, at least one system component housed by the housing, a connector coupled to the housing that engages with a second device for exchange, between the first device and the second device, of at least one of data and power, and a first magnet coupled to the housing. The first magnet is coupled to the housing so that a first pole of the first magnet faces away from the first device to repel a first pole of a second magnet coupled to the second device when the first device is juxtaposed next to the second device in a first orientation relative to the second device.

Device with magnet(s) for engaging with another device

An embodiment provides a method, including: receiving data relating to a focus of user gaze; associating, using a processor, the focus of user gaze with at least one predetermined area within a document displayed in a display device; and responsive to the associating, automatically updating a document status based on the focus of user gaze. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Eye tracking for automatically updating document status

Methods and systems for displaying graphical representations of server system cabling in the data center may include, but are not limited to operations for: generating a pattern view of a cabling scheme; generating a routing view of a cabling scheme; receiving a request to display a pattern view of a cabling scheme; transmitting data representing the pattern view of the cabling scheme; receiving a request to display a routing view of the cabling scheme; and transmitting data representing the routing view of the cabling scheme. The display of various graphical representations of the cabling scheme may facilitate various service operations associated with the cabling. Such service operations may include installation, maintenance, trouble shooting and optimization for a cabled server cluster.

Multi-view user interface for server cabling display

In one aspect, an apparatus includes a housing, a touch-enabled pad coupled to the housing, a processor, and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to receive input to the touch-enabled pad and to present an indication of the input on the touch-enabled pad.

Presenting indication of input to a touch-enabled pad on touch-enabled pad

An apparatus with deflectable dividers separating peripheral components is disclosed. The apparatus includes a shroud housing coupleable to a circuit board of a computer. In an installed position, the shroud housing facilitates a proper electrical connection between peripheral components and the circuit board. The apparatus also includes at least one deflectable divider that is deflectably mounted to the shroud housing. In the installed position, the at least one deflectable divider is disposed between adjacent peripheral components. The at least one deflectable divider is operably displaced away from a selected peripheral component in a displacement motion by fingers of a user during a component swap operation to allow space for the fingers of the user to grasp the selected peripheral component.

Deflectable dividers separating peripheral components

Server

An aspect provides a method, including: activating, using a processor, a touch sensitive surface which comprises at least a bezel portion of a display; accepting, using a processor, user input to the bezel portion of the touch sensitive surface; and controlling, using a processor, an information handling device operatively coupled to the touch sensitive surface in response to touch input in the bezel portion of a display. Other aspects are described and claimed.
