Abstract:
Examples disclosed herein provide the ability to determine the incident angle of a digital pen against a writing surface, such as the touch sensitive surface of a computing device. One example includes receiving, from the digital pen, an orientation of the digital pen with respect to gravity. The example further includes determining an orientation of the computing device with respect to gravity, and comparing the orientations of the digital pen and the computing device to determine an incident angle of the digital pen with respect to the computing device. The example further includes interpreting communications from the digital pen to the computing device based on the incident angle.
Abstract:
The system or method can include a first housing and a second housing. A mass storage device can be in the second housing. The mass storage device may be connected to a network.
Abstract:
Examples of the present invention disclose system and method timing adjustment of a backlight module for a display. According to one example, a temperature of the display is monitored and a response time associated with the display is determined based on the temperature. Furthermore, a power-on timing and/or a power-off timing of the backlight module is adjusted based on the determined response time and the monitored temperature.
Abstract:
Example electronic devices are disclosed. In some examples, the electronic device includes a display panel, an image sensor, and a controller coupled to the image sensor. The controller is to use the image sensor to detect an interaction between a first viewer of the display panel and a second viewer of the display panel. In addition, the controller is to determine whether the second viewer is authorized to view information presented on the display panel based on the interaction. Further, the controller is to adjust a presentation of the information on the display panel based on the determination.
Abstract:
A computing device including a data port for receiving power. A detector can determine if a cable attached to the data port is capable of providing power greater than a threshold level to the computing device. A controller can generate an error signal to alert a user that the cable does not provide power over the threshold level to the computing device.
Abstract:
Embodiments herein relate to setting a voltage of an adapter (100, 200). In an embodiment, the adapter is to measure a current output by the adapter, compare the measured current at the adapter to a first current and to output a DC voltage. The adapter is to set a level of the DC voltage output by the adapter based on the comparison.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a bidirectional display for a portable electronic device. According to one embodiment, a bidirectional display assembly is configured to present an image on both a first side and a second side opposite the first side of the display assembly. Furthermore, a viewable display is provided on the first side and/or the second side of the display assembly based on a desired or selected operating mode.
Abstract:
A device including a data bus port to receive power from an external source. A controller can monitor the power terminals of the data bus port for a power state control signal. The controller may determine if a second controller on an external source generated a power state control signal transmitted through the power terminals providing power to the computing device in response to activation of a power button on the external source.
Abstract:
A polarity control circuit receives signals from contacts of a flat connector when the flat connector is connected to a port, where the port is engageable with the flat connector in any of plural orientations of the flat connector. The polarity control circuit applies polarity processing to the input signals to produce output signals at a target polarity.
Abstract:
A display device can include a first light source and a second light source different in color gamut than the first light source. It can be determined if an image to be displayed would benefit from the second light source.
