    摘要: Methods that can embed opt-in permission for an artificial intelligence (AI) service are provided. One method includes implementing, by a processor, an access level of a plurality of access levels for user sensor data. The method further includes, based on the implemented access level, generating, from a set of raw sensor data received from a set of sensors, a set of sensor data for a user of an apparatus and gaining insight about the user of the apparatus via an AI service utilizing the set of sensor data. Here, implementing the access level provides to the user of the apparatus an embedded opt-in permission for the AI service. Systems and apparatus that can include, perform, and/or implement the methods are also provided.

    摘要: Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for measuring light using a digital pen. An apparatus includes a processor and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. In one embodiment, the processor determines whether a digital pen that is configured to communicate with an information handling device is in a docked position. The processor receives a light measurement sensed by the digital pen and performs an adjustment to an output parameter of a display for the information handling device in response to receiving the light measurement. A method, system, and computer program product may perform the functions of the apparatus.

    摘要: In one aspect, a first Internet of Things (IoT) device includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to transmit a request related to one or more first settings to apply at the first IoT device, where the request transmitted using wireless communication other than Wi-Fi/Internet communication. The instructions are also executable to receive data indicating one or more second settings applied at a second IoT device using the wireless communication and to apply the one or more first settings at the first IoT device based on the received data.

    摘要: Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for modifying the enabled features of a hardware component at the time of use. An apparatus includes a processor and memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to obtain a feature of the hardware component that is not enabled and generates an encrypted code associated with the feature of the hardware component to be enabled. The apparatus processes a payment for the cost of enabling the hardware component and enables the feature of the hardware component in response to the association of the payment processed with the encrypted code for the feature of the hardware component.

    摘要: A system and method include a depth sensing device configured to sense an object within a sensing space at an object sensing location. The depth sensing device is configured to output one or more depth signals regarding the object. A control unit is in communication with the depth sensing device. The control unit is configured to receive the one or more depth signals and construct a model of the object from the one or more depth signals. The control unit is further configured to output a model signal regarding the model of the object to one or more object reproduction devices at one or more monitoring locations that differ from the object sensing location. The model of the object is shown by the one or more object reproduction devices.
