Patent application number | Description | Published |
20130314364 | User Interface Navigation Utilizing Pressure-Sensitive Touch - An approach is provided to direct data to different applications based upon the amount of pressure applied by a user of a pressure sensitive touch-enabled screen. In this approach, a touch input is received at a location of the pressure sensitive touch-enabled screen. The various applications currently being displayed at the location are identified along with the physical pressure level (amount of pressure applied) at the location on the pressure sensitive touch-enabled screen. One of the applications running on the device is selected based on the amount of pressure applied and the touch-based input provided by the user is directed to the selected application. | 11-28-2013 |
20130345842 | EARPHONE REMOVAL DETECTION - An aspect provides a method, including: detecting that a first earphone and a second earphone are not both positioned in a listening position with respect to a user; generating a signal in response to detecting that a first earphone and a second earphone are not both positioned in a listening position with respect a user; and in response to the generated signal, halting an application on a device providing audio to the first earphone and second earphone. Other aspects are described and claimed. | 12-26-2013 |
20130346776 | SLEEP STATE VIDEO INTERFACE OF AN INFORMATION HANDLING DEVICE - An apparatus for a sleep state video interface of an information handling device includes a storage device storing machine-readable code and a processor executing the machine-readable code. The apparatus includes a notification module receiving a sleep notification to place an information handling device into a sleep state. The information handling device receives a video signal. The apparatus includes a sleep module entering the information handling device into the sleep state in response to the notification module receiving the sleep notification. The video signal passes through the information handling device to a display as the information handling device is in the sleep state. | 12-26-2013 |
