Abstract
Techniques are described for notebook hinge sensors. For example, a computing device may comprise a housing having a processor circuit and an input device, the input device arranged on a side of the housing, a lid having a digital display arranged on a side of the lid, a hinge arranged to couple the housing and the lid, and a sensor module coupled to the processor circuit, the sensor module arranged inside the hinge and operative to capture motion input outside of the computing device.
Claims20
A computing device comprising:
- a base;
- a lid moveable relative to the base;
- a display screen carried by the lid, the display screen to display a graphical user interface element;
- a sensor to detect motion of a body part of a user within a field of view of the sensor and to output a signal, the field of view in a region between the base and the lid when the lid is spaced apart from the base;
- memory;
- instructions;
- and
- processor circuitry to execute the instructions to cause movement of the graphical user interface element on the display screen based on the output of the sensor.

A computing device comprising:
- a base;
- a lid;
- a screen carried by the lid, the screen to display graphical user interface content;
- an optical sensor to output a signal based on motion of a head of a user, the optical sensor having a field of view corresponding to a viewing area of the screen;
- memory;
- instructions;
- and
- processor circuitry to execute the instructions to cause a change associated with the graphical user interface content on the screen based on the output of the optical sensor.
5 more elements
A computing device comprising:
- a housing including a base and a lid;
- means for monitoring movement by a user, the monitoring means carried by the housing, the monitoring means having a field of view in an area between the base and lid;
- and
- control means for causing an adjustment to graphical user interface content on a screen based on an output of the monitoring means.
