    Abstract: Embodiments may include systems and methods for managing multiple ports of a computing interface. A computing device may include a connector with a power port and a data port. A connector manager may identify whether a port partner is coupled to the connector, identify an inquiry related to a status of the connector, where the inquiry may be received from a BIOS of the computing device. In addition, the connector manager may generate an indication of the status of the connector, and further transmit the indication of the status of the connector to the BIOS. A BIOS may identify that a data device coupled to the connector through a port partner is to be initialized, and further transmit to a connector manager an inquiry related to a status of the connector, before initializing the data device. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Technologies for managing access to image data streams generated by a plurality of image sensors of an image sensor array include a camera driver module. The camera driver module limits exposure to a user to all but one of the image sensors of the image sensor array. In some embodiments, the image sensor array may include a single primary image sensor that is exposed to the user and one or more secondary sensors that are not exposed to the user. In other embodiments, the image sensor array may include more than one primary image sensor and any number of secondary image sensors. In such an embodiment, only one of the primary image sensors are exposed to the user, and none of the secondary image sensors, if available, are exposed to the user. Other embodiments are described herein and claimed.
