Dynamic keyboard support at support and display surfaces
An information handling system keyboard extends plural feet from a bottom surface to reduce contaminants at the bottom surface that might scratch a touchscreen display and retracts the plural feet when resting on the touchscreen display to place a non-scratch and contaminant free surface against the touchscreen display. In one embodiment, the plural feet automatically retract when in proximity to a display surface, such as in response to a magnetic sensor integrated in the keyboard that senses a magnet integrated in the display or in response to a command from an information handling system having an integrated display on which the keyboard rests. In one embodiment, the keyboard integrates accelerometers to automatically extend the plural feet during accelerations and retract the plural feet when the keyboard rests on a display after accelerations.
SYSTEM FOR PACKAGING A PORTABLE COMPUTER
A portable computer system comprising at least two flat screen displays that is configurable so that in a stowed state, the system is conveniently carried and the flat screens are protected.
INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM AND KEYBOARD DUAL MODE PAIRING
An information handling system and keyboard automatically coordinate wireless pairing when the keyboard couples to the information handling system to interface contacts exposed at the information handling system housing and the keyboard. The information handling system retrieves an identifier of the keyboard through a contact, determines if the keyboard is already paired, and if not initiates wireless pairing with a command through the contact. A pairing key is provided from the keyboard to the information handling system through the contact and applied by the information handling system to complete pairing. A confirm code is communicated through the contact to the keyboard for communication back to the information handling system by wireless signals. The contacts provide a charging path to charge the keyboard when coupled to the information handling system.
WIRELESS CHARGING SYSTEM AND WIRELESS CHARGING METHOD
Embodiments of this application disclose a wireless charging system. The wireless charging system includes a first electronic device, a wireless charging device, and a second electronic device. The wireless charging device is located between the first electronic device and the second electronic device. The wireless charging device is an auxiliary device of the first electronic device and is physically connected to the first electronic device, the wireless charging device includes a receiver circuit and a housing, the receiver circuit includes a receiver coil, and the receiver coil is located on an inner side of the housing. The first electronic device is configured to: charge the wireless charging device, charge the second electronic device through the wireless charging device, and receive power from the second electronic device through the wireless charging device.
Electronic device with reversible railed attachment connector system
An electronic device includes a device housing. A monorail having a monorail body defining a first end and a second end separated from the first end along a major axis of the monorail body is mechanically coupled to a minor face of the device housing by a bridge member. A first electrical connector is positioned at the first end of the monorail body, while a second electrical connector positioned at the second end of the monorail body. The first electrical connector and the second electrical connector are of the same type. An attachment having a housing defining a monorail receiver with an aperture at a first end and a bounding wall at a second end includes an electrical connector situated within the monorail receiver at the bounding wall. The attachment can be coupled in two configurations to the monorail.
FLEXIBLE COMPUTING DISPLAYS WITH CONFIGURABLE SIZES
Flexible computing displays with configurable sizes may include an apparatus comprising a flexible computing display and a display container having a form factor to contain the flexible computing display in a rolled state. The display container may further include circuitry to communicatively couple the flexible computing display with a computing device. The apparatus may further include a friction hinge mechanism coupling the display container and the flexible computing display, the friction hinge mechanism to enable a configurable size of the flexible computing display in an unrolled state by extension of the flexible computing display from the display container.
Portable electronic apparatus having detachable key cap
A portable electronic apparatus including a first body, a second body, and a keyboard is provided. The second body is pivotally connected to the first body. The keyboard is disposed on the first body and includes a plurality of key structures. One of the key structures includes an elevating platform, a key cap, and a camera. The key cap is detachably mounted to the elevating platform, and the camera is mounted at one side of the key cap facing the elevating platform. After the camera is detached from the elevating platform together with the key cap, the camera is mounted and positioned to the second body together with the key cap, and at least a portion of the camera is exposed to the outside.
Low-profile keysets and input devices
Low-profile keysets and input devices having such low-profile keysets are described. In one example, the input device includes a support structure having a first and second surface; a bezel having a first and second surface, wherein the first surface of the bezel is adjacent to the first surface of the support structure, and the bezel comprises at least one opening; at least one key cap positioned within the at least one opening of the bezel, wherein each key cap is configured to move between a first and second position to trigger a function of the input device; and a fabric cover layer positioned adjacent to the second surface of the bezel, such that the bezel and the at least one key cap are positioned between the fabric cover layer and the support structure, the fabric cover layer is only adhered to the second surface of the bezel.
ELECTRONIC APPARATUS
An electronic apparatus uses the cooling effect of a vapor chamber and includes: a chassis; a motherboard which is provided in the chassis and has a CPU mounted on a front surface thereof; a vapor chamber having a working fluid sealed in a hermetically sealed space formed between two metal plates; a stud fixed to the upper surface of the vapor chamber; and a screw fixing the stud and the motherboard. The CPU is thermally connected to the upper surface of the vapor chamber. The motherboard has a mounting hole formed therein, and the screw is screwed to the stud through the mounting hole from the rear surface of the motherboard. The CPU is rectangular, and four studs and four screws are provided at positions in the vicinity of the four corners of the CPU.
