20100156793 | System and Method For An Information Handling System Touchscreen Keyboard - An information handling system automatically presents a keyboard input device on a touchscreen display in response to detecting touches on the touchscreen in a keyboard configuration. The location of the keyboard and placement of the keys adapt to an end user's touch, providing a conveniently-sized input device automatically adapted to end user inputs. Haptic feedback at predetermined reference points aids end user interaction with the keyboard. | 06-24-2010 |
20100238123 | Input Device Gesture To Generate Full Screen Change - A gesture based method for generating a screen presentation content change. The gesture based method for generating a screen presentation content change used a gesture (such as e.g., a full palm or multi-finger gesture) on a touchpad or a touch sensitive display screen that generates a screen presentation content change. | 09-23-2010 |
20120298491 | SUB-MEMBRANE KEYCAP INDICATOR - Sub-membrane keycap indicators for keyboard assemblies may be implemented by positioning an indicator light element beneath a switch membrane circuit and within the baseplate of a key device. The indicator light element may be so positioned to direct light upward in a substantially narrow cone to an aperture or lightguide molded into a keycap in order to illuminate or light the indicator aperture or lightguide to indicate the current status of at least one component of an information handling system. | 11-29-2012 |
20140112551 | SECONDARY INFORMATION FOR AN INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM MATRIX BAR CODE FUNCTION - An information handling system analyzes secondary information captured with an image of a two-dimensional barcode to perform a function. For example, a mobile phone camera captures an image of a QR code at a product plus characters printed next to the QR code, uses optical code recognition to determine the characters, and applies information from the QR code and the characters to register the product. As another example, a security indicator is captured with an image of the QR code and applied to access information of the QR code, such as by using GPS position information, local network information, or telephone number information to encrypt and/or decrypt information stored in the QR code. | 04-24-2014 |
20140115708 | SECURE INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM MATRIX BAR CODE - An information handling system analyzes secondary information captured with an image of a two-dimensional barcode to perform a function. For example, a mobile phone camera captures an image of a QR code at a product plus characters printed next to the QR code, uses optical code recognition to determine the characters, and applies information from the QR code and the characters to register the product. As another example, a security indicator is captured with an image of the QR code and applied to access information of the QR code, such as by using GPS position information, local network information, or telephone number information to encrypt and/or decrypt information stored in the QR code. | 04-24-2014 |
20140154976 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COMMUNICATING BETWEEN INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEMS USING SHORT-RANGE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a drawer may include an antenna, one or more structural elements, and one or more electrical components. The antenna may be configured to transmit via a short-range wireless communication technology. The one or more structural elements may be configured to permit the drawer to translate between an open position and a closed position relative to a chassis mechanically coupled to the drawer. The one or more electrical components may configured to enable the antenna for wireless communication via the short-range wireless communication technology when the drawer is in the open position and disable the antenna for wireless communication via the short-range wireless communication technology when the drawer is in the closed position. | 06-05-2014 |
20140213177 | Information Handling System Physical Component Maintenance Through Near Field Communication Device Interaction - Information handling system maintenance is aided by sending maintenance codes with a management processor of the information handling system to a mobile telephone with a NFC communication. The maintenance code and an identifier of the information handling system are provided to an administrative station to confirm that the proper maintenance is taking place at the proper system before the maintenance is authorized. | 07-31-2014 |
20140215029 | Information Handling System Operational Management Through Near Field Communication Device Interaction - Configuration information to configure an information handling system is obtained by sending an identifier for the information handling system to a portable information handling system, such as a mobile telephone, with a first NFC communication. The mobile telephone retrieves the configuration information, such as through a network interface, and sends the configuration information to the information handling system with a second NFC communication. Configuration information includes a variety of information, such as IP and MAC address, BIOS settings, software applications, firmware versions and end user specific settings. | 07-31-2014 |
20140215030 | Information Handling System Physical Component Inventory To Aid Operational Management Through Near Field Communication Device Interaction - NFC communications from a mobile phone to an information handling system initiates an inventory by a management controller of the information handling system. The inventory is provided to the mobile telephone with a second NFC communication so that an end user can see a visual depiction of the interior of the information handling system before opening the chassis of the system. | 07-31-2014 |
20140233171 | Sub-Membrane Keycap Indicator - Sub-membrane keycap indicators for keyboard assemblies may be implemented by positioning an indicator light element beneath a switch membrane circuit and within the baseplate of a key device. The indicator light element may be so positioned to direct light upward in a substantially narrow cone to an aperture or lightguide molded into a keycap in order to illuminate or light the indicator aperture or lightguide to indicate the current status of at least one component of an information handling system. | 08-21-2014 |
