User interface for managing access to credentials for use in an operation

The present disclosure generally relates to managing access to credentials. In some examples, an electronic device authorizes release of credentials for use in an operation for which authorization is required. In some examples, an electronic device causes display of one or more steps to be taken to enable an input device for user input. In some examples, an electronic device disambiguates between commands to change the account that is actively logged-in on the device and commands to cause credentials to be released from the secure element.

Clickpad with preloaded contact force for an information handling system

Clickpad structures may be attached to surfaces of an information handling system using material stacks comprising an elastic material, such as a sponge, which can preload a force on the clickpad surface. The preloaded force reduces a gap between the clickpad switch and contact point, which reduces instability, rattling, and other negative experiences with the clickpad surface experienced by a user. According to an embodiment, an input device for an information handling system includes a clickpad surface having a first side configured to receive user input and a second side opposite the first side; a first coupling stack comprising a first elastic material with a first thickness; and a second coupling stack comprising a second elastic material with a second thickness, wherein each of the coupling stacks is attached to the clickpad surface and a surface of the information handling system by adhesives.

Touchpad assembly for an information handling system

A touchpad assembly, including an actuator device that provides motion in a first direction; a first structural element coupled to the actuator device; a second structural element coupled to the first structural element; wherein the first structural element, in response to the motion in the first direction provided by the actuator device, exerts a first rotational force in a first rotational direction, wherein the second structural element, in response to the first rotational force by the first structural element, exerts a second rotational force in a second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction, wherein the first rotational force and the second rotational force provide a rotational vibration of the touchpad assembly.

Audio driver and power supply unit architecture

This disclosure relates to speakers and more specifically to an array speaker for distributing music uniformly across a room. A number of audio drivers can be radially distributed within a speaker housing so that an output of the drivers is distributed evenly throughout the room. In some embodiments, the exit geometry of the audio drivers can be configured to bounce off a surface supporting the array speaker to improve the distribution of music throughout the room. The array speaker can include a number of vibration isolation elements distributed within a housing of the array speaker. The vibration isolation elements can be configured reduce the strength of forces generated by a subwoofer of the array speaker.

Input device and sound output system

An input device includes: a touch device configured to receive a user operation; an actuator configured to apply a vibration corresponding to a drive voltage to the touch device; and a processor. The processor is configured to: apply a first voltage to the actuator to vibrate the touch device with a first vibration in response to a touch-down during a touch operation, the touch-down in which a pressing force of a predetermined value or more is detected from start of touch to the touch device; and apply a second voltage lower than the first voltage to the actuator to vibrate the touch device with a second vibration in response to a touch release during the touch operation, the touch release in which a pressing force of a value lower than the predetermined value after the touch-down is detected.

Device that manages power provided to an object sensor

A hand-held device with a sensor for providing a signal indicative of a position of the hand-held device relative to an object surface enables power to the sensor at a first time interval when the hand-held device is indicated to be in a position that is stationary and adjacent relative to the object surface, enables power to the sensor at a second time interval shorter than the first time interval when the hand-held device is indicated to be in a position that is moving and adjacent relative to the object surface, and enables power to the sensor at a third time interval when the hand-held device is determined to be in a position that is removed relative to the object surface.
