20150185544 | SEGEMENTED LIGHT GUIDE PANELS IN LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAYS - An electronic device (e.g., computing device, all-in-one computing system, stand-alone display, etc.) having a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, and a light guide panel (LGP) having a first zone and a second zone physically segmented from each other. The electronic device includes a first light bar associated with the first zone; and a second light bar associated with the second zone. The LGP may include more than two zones. | 07-02-2015 |
20150185767 | ELECTRONIC DEVICES WITH INTEGRATED LENSES - A computing device having a display panel, a cover layer having an integrated lens (e.g., a Fresnel lens), and a sensor associated with the lens. The cover layer having the integrated lens may be a display cover disposed over the display panel, or a speaker grille disposed over a speaker of the computing device. The display cover may be polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) or polycarbonate. The speaker grille may be high density polyethylene (HDPE) or polycarbonate, for example. | 07-02-2015 |
20150185800 | COMPUTER INPUT DEVICE POWER SAVINGS - In some embodiments a computing device includes a holder to hold an input device, a detector to detect whether the input device is held by the holder, and a controller to manage power of the device in response to the detection. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 07-02-2015 |
20150185806 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR POWER MANAGEMENT IN AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE BY SENSING THE PRESENCE AND INTENT OF AN OBJECT - A method for sensing, in an electronic device, the presence and inferring therefrom an intent of an object includes sensing a baseline ambient spatial average temperature for a sensed field of view, monitoring the sensed field of view for a variation in the ambient spatial average temperature of the field of view relative to the baseline, characterizing any detected variation, determining whether the detected variation is a recognized variation, and causing the electronic device to take at least one predetermined action responsive to a recognized variation. | 07-02-2015 |
20150185883 | MULTI-POINT TOUCH FOR IDENTITY - Described herein is a system for multi-point touch for identification. The system can include multi-point touch sensor firmware that identifies multiple points of touch. The firmware can also identify a pattern based on the multiple points of touch. The firmware can also identify an input device to the system based on the pattern. | 07-02-2015 |
20150186152 | SENSING AND ASSISTING COMPUTING DEVICE CONNECTIONS - Described herein are a system and method for sensing and assisting connections to a computing device. The method includes identifying an intention to make a connection with the computing device. The method also includes determining one or more parameters for the connection based on identifying the intention. Additionally, the method includes presenting information indicating a location of the connection. | 07-02-2015 |
20150187257 | INDICATING OPERATING SYSTEM SELECTION - Techniques related to abrasion scorings for illuminating operating system selections are described herein. A first abrasion scoring of a display material may reflect light from a first light source resulting in an image associated with a first operating system of the computing device being illuminated at the display material. A second abrasion scoring of the display material may reflect light from a second light source resulting in an image associated with a second operating system of the computing device being illuminated at the display material. | 07-02-2015 |
