| 20080205519 | Displayport CE system control functionality - An improved method and apparatus is disclosed for communicating control information between components of an audio/video system. Processing and control logic is implemented to transfer a plurality of data streams on predetermined channels of a digital video interface. A first data stream contains video data received by a video interface receiver, where it is used to generate an image on a digital display. A second data stream contains control data, which is similarly received by the video interface receiver, and is used to control source devices coupled to the digital display. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20090089465 | Plug and Play Display Device Over Ultra Wideband Link - A method for conveying display device data over an ultra wideband wireless link that provides an information handling system with an information handling system ultra wideband communication link. The method also provides a display device with a display device ultra wideband communication link and transmits display data between the information handling system ultra wideband communication link and the display device ultra wideband communication link. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090322767 | System and Method for Presenting Visual Information at Plural Display Devices - A dual transceiver architecture provides source and sink device capabilities for communicating visual information between information handling systems and displays. A detector determines whether a cable connected to a port provides visual information or receives digital information. If visual information is received at a port, the visual information is provided to an adjacent port through a dual transceiver architecture so that the visual information is available to forward to another display, information handling system or other device. A common connector configuration simplifies the connection of multiple displays or devices, such as in a daisy chain configuration. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100033916 | Auxiliary Display Systems and Methods - A portable information handling system (IHS) is disclosed wherein the system includes a cover, a primary display disposed on the cover and an auxiliary display coupled to the cover, wherein the auxiliary display is movable between a viewable position and a closed position. The system also includes a switch coupled to the auxiliary display, wherein the switch is adapted to place the auxiliary display in an operational state in the open position and in a non-operational state in the closed position. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100271389 | Information Handling System And Method For Using Main Link Data Channels - A method of providing information for display includes receiving primary, secondary, and tertiary information for display at an information handling system. The tertiary information is communicated to a display interface after the primary and secondary information during a time period otherwise assigned to the communication of dummy information. This allows more information to be communicated via a communication channel. | 10-28-2010 |
| 20110051459 | OPTICALLY COUPLED LIGHT GUIDE - An optically coupled light guide includes a light source having a surface defined by a channel, a light guide and an optical gel coupling the channel of the light source to the light guide. | 03-03-2011 |
