Abstract: A computer and a method for controlling an operating state of a device thereof are disclosed. The method comprises: detecting that a display portion and a host portion of the computer are in a state of being disconnected from each other; and generating a state event or a control instruction corresponding to the disconnected state for switching the device to an inactive state. With the present invention, when the state of a computer changes, e.g., when a display portion and a host portion of a portable computer are separated, an operating system can control a device to switch its operating state, e.g., deactivate the device, based on a generated state event. In this way, it is possible to avoid unnecessary power consumption of the entire computer due to the active state of the device, and any potential security risk can be eliminated.

Abstract: A backlighting device (300, 400, 500, 600) emitting light having a first wavelength includes a first radiation emission device (302), e.g., an electroluminescent lamp, for emitting radiation having a second wavelength. A layer (306) of a plurality of photon emitting particles (308), e.g., free standing quantum dots or phosphorus particles, emits light having the first wavelength in response to the first radiation emission device (302), the first wavelength being larger than the second wavelength. A transparent material (116, 120, 122) overlies the layer of a plurality of photon emitting particles (308), wherein the light having a first wavelength passes through the transparent material (116, 120, 122). Optionally, a filter (402) may be placed over the layer (306) to block the radiation having a second wavelength, and a scattering layer (604) may be placed over the layer (306) to scatter wavelength other than the first wavelength.

Abstract: Reducing energy usage by a monitor includes a map manager between a monitor interface and a processor that divides a display area of a monitor into areas and stores display information in a staging area. The map manager distinguishes an active window selected by a user from the remainder inactive, unselected areas of a display, and further determines a used subset of areas within the active window distinguished from the remainder unused areas as a function of a user preference. Accordingly, the map manager drives the monitor at each of the used area active window areas with the processor display information stored in the staging area at a normal luminance specified by the processor display information, and at each of the remainder unused, inactive and unselected areas of the total display area at a reduced luminance lower than the specified normal luminance.

Abstract: A method for reducing the receipt of multiple signals in a portable information handling system (IHS) is closed including receiving a first signal corresponding to a detected lid position of the portable IHS. The method further includes determining if a first predetermined amount of time has elapsed and if the first predetermined amount of time has not elapsed, preventing the receipt of an additional signal corresponding to a change in the detected lid position. Further, a portable information handling system may include a lid, a base coupled to the lid and a sensor disposed on the lid or base, wherein the sensor detects a lid position. The system further includes a processor coupled to the sensor, wherein the processor generates a first signal corresponding to the lid position and the processor is operable to generate an additional signal corresponding to a change in the lid position.

Abstract: Computing devices are often designed in view of a particular usage scenario, but may be unsuitable for usage in other computing scenarios. For example, a notebook computer with a large display, an integrated keyboard, and a high-performance processor suitable for many computing tasks may be heavy, large, and power-inefficient; and a tablet lacking a keyboard and incorporating a low-powered processor may improve portability but may present inadequate performance for many tasks. Presented herein is a configuration of a computing device featuring a display unit with a resource-conserving processor that may be used independently (e.g., as a tablet), but that may be connected to a base unit featuring a resource-intensive processor. The operating system of the device may accordingly transition between a resource-intensive computing environment and a resource-conserving computing environment based on the connection with the base unit, thereby satisfying the dual roles of workstation and portable tablet device.

Abstract translation: 计算设备通常是根据特定的使用场景设计的，但可能不适合在其他计算场景中使用。 例如，具有大显示器的笔记本电脑，集成键盘和适用于许多计算任务的高性能处理器可能是重的，大的而且功率无效的; 而缺少键盘的平板电脑并入低功耗处理器可能会提高便携性，但可能会为许多任务带来不足的性能。 这里呈现的是具有可以独立地使用（例如，作为平板电脑）但可连接到具有资源密集型处理器的基本单元的资源节约处理器的显示单元的计算设备的配置。 因此，设备的操作系统可以基于与基本单元的连接在资源密集型计算环境和资源节约型计算环境之间转换，从而满足工作站和便携式平板设备的双重角色。
