TOUCHPAD INPUT FOR AUGMENTED REALITY DISPLAY DEVICE
Disclosed is a method of receiving and processing content-sending inputs received by a head-worn device system including one or more display devices, one or more cameras and a vertically-arranged touchpad. The method includes displaying a content item on the one or more display devices, receiving a touch input on the touchpad corresponding to a send instruction, displaying a carousel of potential recipients, receiving a horizontal touch input on the touchpad, scrolling the carousel left or right on the one or more display devices in response to the horizontal touch input, receiving a tap touch input on the touchpad to select a particular recipient, receiving a further touch input, and in response to the further touch input, transmitting the content item to the selected recipient.
Flexible keyboard apparatuses
An example apparatus includes a first flexible portion connected to a second flexible portion. The first flexible portion includes a keyboard having a set of input keys disposed thereon and circuitry coupled to the set of input keys, the first flexible portion is to couple to a portable computing device proximal to a display side of the portable computing device. The second flexible portion has a plurality of fasteners to couple to a kickstand of the portable computing device, the first and second flexible portion to provide an opposing force there between while the kickstand is disposed at one of a plurality of variable support angles.
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.
Case for portable electronic computing device
Systems and methods involve a portable electronic computing device, the system includes a first case section to receive a device portion, and first and second apertures sized and spaced to detachably couple with plug and stem, respectively, of a cover assembly. In addition, other aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, methods and user interfaces for managing watch faces based on depth data of a previously captured media item are described. In some embodiments, methods and user interfaces for managing clock faces based on geographic data are described. In some embodiments, methods and user interfaces for managing clock faces based on state information of a computer system are described. In some embodiments, methods and user interfaces related to the management of time are described. In some embodiments, methods and user interfaces for editing user interfaces based on depth data of a previously captured media item are described.
Optical processing apparatus and operating method of watch
An optical processing apparatus and a light source luminance adjustment method adapted to detect a rotational displacement and a pressing state are provided. The optical processing apparatus includes a light source unit, a processing unit, and an image sensing unit, wherein the processing unit is electrically connected to the light source unit and the image sensing unit. The light source unit provides a beam of light. The processing unit defines a frame rate, defines a plurality of time instants within a time interval, and sets the light source unit to a luminance value at each of the time instants. A length of the time interval is shorter than the reciprocal of the frame rate. The luminance values are different and are within a range. The image sensing unit captures an image by an exposure time length at each of the time instants, wherein the exposure time lengths are the same.
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.
ACTIONABLE-OBJECT CONTROLLER AND DATA-ENTRY DEVICE FOR TOUCHSCREEN-BASED ELECTRONICS
Various systems, methods and apparatus are described, such as for engaging a touchscreen user interface. A first example includes a multi-function transceiver device having comprehensive and scalable mapping capabilities for use in a control environment. A second example includes a or the multi-function transceiver device being further equipped to perform specialized functions, such as Internet-based information-kiosk-type function(s). A third example includes a or the multi-function transceiver device, which may be Internet-connected, capable of being wirelessly and remotely controlled by a user via an app (e.g., via a teleoperation comprising a tablet, smartphone or mobile device (having said app)). A fourth example includes an apparatus performing one or a series of mechanical gestures (mechanical touch-induced control operations—such as single-touch, multi-touch, etc.) on a display screen and/or a user interface (UI). A fifth example includes technology that can turn any surface into touch-enabled controls for (wirelessly) controlling UIs, apps, etc. These are just some examples (as non-limiting embodiments).
Actionable-object controller and data-entry device for touchscreen-based electronics
Various systems, methods and apparatus are described for actuating a touchscreen user interface. A first exemplification comprises an intermediary-transceiver or mediating device; wherein said device is wirelessly capable of providing a scalable mapping interface to a touchscreen user environment. A second exemplification includes one or more conductive interfaces that are operatively coupled with a touchscreen device using at least one of a wireless interface and a conductive actuator at endpoint. Beyond the first and second exemplification above, other exemplary control modalities are also advanced and embodied by the inventor of the present invention.
Speaker assembly in a display assistant device
In a display assistant device, a speaker is mounted in a waveguide structure which is at least partially disposed beneath a display screen. The waveguide structure is mounted in an exterior housing which includes speaker grills distributed on a plurality of surfaces of the exterior housing, permitting sound waves from the speaker to be projected outside the exterior housing. A cover structure is disposed on top of the waveguide structure to conceal the waveguide structure and speaker within the exterior housing. The cover structure has a tilted bottom surface configured to be suspended above the waveguide structure and to be separated by a first space. Sound waves projected from an upper portion of the speaker are reflected by the tilted bottom surface and are guided through the first space to exit the device from a speaker grill portion located on a rear side of the exterior housing.
