Abstract
A controller selectively couples and de-couples at a rear surface of a portable information handling system and presents gaming content at both an integrated display and a peripheral display. The portable information handling system rests proximate the peripheral display when gaming content is presented at the peripheral display to present a communications interface of the gaming application. An end user manages gaming application communication between individuals and teams with gaze and voice inputs detected at the portable information handling system.
Claims20
An information handling system comprising:
- a main housing;
- a processor disposed in the main housing and operable to execute instructions that process information;
- a memory disposed in the main housing and interfaced with the processor, the memory operable to store the instructions and the information;
- a gyroscope interfaced with the processor and operable to sense orientation;
- an accelerometer interfaced with the processor;
- a display integrated in the upper surface of the main housing and interfaced with the processor, the display operable to present the information as visual images;
- a non-transient memory integrated in the main housing and storing instructions that when executed on the processor presents one of selectable gaming application interactive content or control content on the integrated display based upon an orientation sensed by the gyroscope and accelerometer, the control content including at least a drawer that slides open to expose selectable gaming control options based upon a sideways acceleration in a first direction and that slides closed in response to a sideways acceleration is a second direction.
A method for presenting gaming content at an information handling system integrated display, the method comprising:
- detecting first and second orientations of the information handling system housing;
- in response to the detecting the first orientation, removing gaming control content and presenting interactive gaming content at the integrated display;
- and
- in response to detecting the second orientation, removing the interactive gaming content and presenting the gaming control content at the integrated display;
- wherein the first orientation comprises a sideways acceleration in a first direction to open a drawer and the second orientation comprises a sideways acceleration in a second direction to close the drawer.
An information handling system comprising:
- a processor operable to execute instructions;
- and
- a non-transitory memory storing instructions that when executed on the processor present detect first and second orientations of the information handling system housing, in response to detecting the first orientation, present interactive gaming content at the integrated display while removing gaming control content, and in response to detecting the second orientation, present the gaming control content at the integrated display while removing the interactive gaming content, the first orientation comprising a sideways acceleration in a first direction to open a drawer, the second orientation comprising a sideways acceleration in a second direction to close the drawer.
