Abstract
Embodiments of systems and methods for display management for a multi-form factor Information Handing System (IHS) are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an IHS may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: identify a posture of a first display relative to a second display, where the second display is coupled to the first display via a hinge; and based on the identification, produce a work area on an external display.
Claims19
An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to:
- identify a posture of a first display relative to a second display, wherein the second display is coupled to the first display via a hinge;
- retrieve a docked height of the IHS associated with the posture;
- and
- based on the identification, produce a work area on an external display.
A method, comprising:
- identifying a posture of a first display relative to a second display of an Information Handling System (IHS);
- based on the identification, producing a work area on an external display;
- detecting a keyboard placed on a display surface of the second display;
- determining that the keyboard has been moved from a first position of the display surface to a second position of the display surface;
- and
- modifying the work area in response to the movement.
A hardware memory device having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a processor of an Information Handling System (IHS), cause the IHS to:
- identify a posture of a first display relative to a second display of the IHS;
- based on the identification, produce a work area on an external display;
- retrieve a docked height of the IHS associated with the posture;
- and
- create a pass-through area between the external display and at least one of the first or second displays based upon the docked height.
