Methods and apparatus to determine user presence are disclosed. A disclosed example monitoring device to determine of a presence of a user in a metering environment includes a mount to couple the monitoring device to a wearable device to be worn by the user, the wearable device to receive content from a content device, a sensor to detect motion of the user, and a transmitter to transmit motion data pertaining to the detected motion of the user for the determination of the presence of the user.

A display device includes a display panel including a first non-folding area, a second non-folding area, and a folding area, a first upper plate disposed under the display panel and overlapping the first non-folding area, a second upper plate disposed under the display panel, overlapping the second non-folding area, arranged to be spaced apart from the first upper plate, a separation space being disposed therebetween and overlapping at least a portion of the folding area in an unfolded state, and a screen layer disposed under the first upper plate and the second upper plate. The screen layer includes first lines, second lines arranged in a weave pattern with the first lines, and a lower coating layer covering a lower portion of the first lines and the second lines and overlaps the separation space.

A portable information handling system modular hybrid architecture separates components between rotationally coupled housing portions to minimize cabling, connectors and materials, and to provide improved durability that supports recycling and reuse of the components. For example, a plurality of housing cover configurations couple to housing portions of different dimensions with opposing couples and a common keystone element that, when installed, prevents separation of the opposing couplers. Removal of the keystone element provides ready access to the housing portion interior to recycle processing components, such as a secondary board having an embedded controller and charger and a battery interfaced with the secondary board.

Exercise-based watch faces and complications for use with a portable multifunction device are disclosed. The methods described herein for exercise-based watch faces and complications provide indications of time and affordances representing applications (e.g., a workout application or a weather application). In response to detecting a user input corresponding to a selection of the affordance (e.g., representing a workout application), a workout routine can optionally be begun. Further disclosed are non-transitory computer-readable storage media, systems, and devices configured to perform the methods described herein, as well as electronic devices related thereto.

Computing devices and methods for determining opening and closing of touch sensitive interfaces are disclosed. In one example, a computing device comprises a touch screen display on a first substrate that is rotatably coupled to a second substrate that includes a trackpad. A trackpad identification signal transmitted by the trackpad is received at the touch screen display, and a touch screen identification signal transmitted by the touch screen is received at the trackpad. If the trackpad identification signal matches a trackpad identification key and the touch screen identification signal matches a touch screen identification key, then an energy level of one or both signals is compared to an energy level threshold. Based at least in part on the comparison of the energy level to the threshold, a power state transition is initiated.

A portable information device capable of supporting a display is described. The portable information device includes a first chassis member and a second chassis member connected mutually rotatable, a first support plate that supports a display on the side of the first chassis member, a second support plate that supports the display on the side of the second chassis member, a first locking member including a first fixing portion to be fixed to the rear face of the first support plate with adhesive, and a first locking piece projecting from one end face of the first support plate, the first locking piece being configured to come in contact with and separate from the rear face of the second support plate. The first support plate includes a first contact face with which the first locking member comes in contact and a first adhesive face that fixes the first locking member with the adhesive. The first adhesive face is recessed from the first contact face by a thickness of the adhesive.

System and methods for processing audio signals are disclosed. In one implementation, a system may comprise a wearable camera configured to capture images from an environment of a user; a microphone configured to capture sounds from the environment of the user; and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive at least one image of the plurality of images, the at least one image comprising a plurality of image portions associated with corresponding image portion timestamps; receive at least one audio signal representative of the sounds captured by the at least one microphone; identify an audio timestamp associated with a portion of the audio signal; identify an image portion from among the plurality of image portions, the image portion having an image portion timestamp associated with the audio timestamp; and analyze the image portion to identify a voice originating from an object represented in the image.

A wearable device including a skin sensor and a processor is provided. The processor is configured to receive an authentication data for authenticating a user when a wearing state of the wearable device is adjacent to a skin surface of the user, execute a predetermined function in response to a request when the authentication data matches a pre-stored data and the skin sensor determines that the wearable device does not leave the skin surface after the authentication data is received, and reject or ignore the request when the skin sensor determines that the wearable device leaves the skin surface before the predetermined function is executed. The processor further calculates blood pressures according to PPG signals detected by a PPG sensor of the skin sensor.

An electronic device includes a display assembly for displaying images and including a first part and a second part disposed at different sides of a first deformable part of the display assembly, where a first deformability of at least a part of the display assembly includes capability to change a relative angle between the first part and the second part; and a fixing assembly coupled to the display assembly for fixedly connect the display assembly, the fixing assembly including at least a first fixing element. At least a part of at least one of the first fixing element or the display assembly has a second deformability including capability to change a length in a preset direction.

There are provided systems and methods for a physical stand for multiple device orientations and peripheral card reader. A device stand may include a dock that allows for placement and securing of a computing device within the device case, such as through a locking or connecting mechanism. The device dock further includes a peripheral component, such as a physical card reader, that allows for reading and entry of card data into the computing device for use with an electronic transaction processing application on the computing device. This allows the computing device to process transactions electronic with an online service provider. Further, the device stand includes a hinge or joint that allows for rotating and inverting of the computing device over a curved extension from a base of the device stand, which allows the computing device to be viewed in multiple directions and orientations.
