    摘要: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for a trackball including an adaptive brake. In an aspect, an apparatus includes a trackball, a wheel coupled to the trackball and configured to rotate about an axis, and a brake system configured to apply a braking force to the wheel. In some aspects, the brake system includes a magnetorheological fluid (MRF) brake, such as an MRF rotational brake. The MRF brake may be configured to apply a braking force to the wheel.

    摘要: Information handling systems, methods, and computer-readable media enable gameplay event detection and gameplay enhancement operations. One or more in-game events may be detected by monitoring audio content, by monitoring video content, by monitoring user input, by monitoring other information, or a combination thereof. The one or more in-game events (and information related to the one or more in-game events) may be stored at a database. Information of the database may be accessed to trigger one or more gameplay enhancement operations. The one or more gameplay enhancement operations may include an automatic highlight capture operation, a dynamic screen aggregation operation, a dynamic position switch operation, a dynamic player switch operation, a gameplay enhancement operation using one or more peripheral devices (e.g., a lighting effect or a haptic feedback event), one or more other gameplay enhancement operations, or a combination thereof.

    摘要: User interactions with information handling systems can be improved by providing real-time feedback to the user during use of an application on the information handling system. A user's focused attention can be determined and the user interface elements in an application window be customized to the user. The user's focus attention thus changes the display of user interface elements on the screen. Using such a technique, user interface elements of lower importance can be de-emphasized or removed from the application window, which improves the user's access to user interface elements of greater importance.

    摘要: Systems and methods described herein may provide a system that utilizes a machine learning algorithm to determine a color palette based on user context and assigning colors of the color palette to connected systems or peripherals to apply lighting effects. A method may include retrieving, by an information handling system, user context; analyzing, by the information handling system, user context to determine a plurality of colors associated with the user context; generating, by the information handling system, a set of color palettes based, at least in part, on the user context; and generating, by the information handling system, an aggregate color palette based, at least in part, on the set of color palettes. Other aspects are also disclosed.

    摘要: A data-driven, intelligent ergonomic behavioral aid based on uniquely captured telemetry and user behavior data is provided. The aggregation of the telemetry data and user presence events over time can provide sufficient context to understand user patterns and behavior as well as the user's environment. The provided system may learn from this data and recommend to the user best practices and actions to take to minimize the health risk specific to their behavior with respect to the computing ecosystem. In some instances, the provided system may initiate one or more actions, rather than a recommendation, that force the user to change their behavior if the user desires to continue interacting with the computing ecosystem.

    摘要: This disclosure describes systems, devices, apparatuses, and methods of adjusting a resistance of user-input device, such as a joystick. In particular configurations, the device includes a joystick configured to rotate about a first axis and a second axis and a first resistance mechanism coupled to the joystick. The first resistance mechanism can include a rotary damper configured to selectively resist rotation of the joystick about the first axis and a processor in communication with the rotary damper and configured to adjust a resistance torque of the rotary damper. The rotary damper may provide resistance through manipulation of a magnetorheological (MR) fluid in the fluid damper.

    摘要: This disclosure describes systems, devices, apparatuses, and methods of retracting or extending a button, such as a depressible button, pad, joystick, trigger, or bumper. The button can include a movable structure with magnets at two positions and a coil that can be energized to create a magnetic field. The button can be configured to retract when a current is applied to the coil, and to extend when a different current is applied to the coil. The button can include a magnetic core that can latch to a magnet when the button is retracted and that can latch to a different magnet when the button is extended. In some configurations, the button is configured to retract or extend relative to a printed circuit board, a housing, or both.
