Abstract
Visual images presented on an information handling system display automatically adjust to changes in the orientation of the display. An orientation device on the display detects changes in display orientation and sends an interrupt to an information handling system orientation module. The orientation module responds to the interrupt by retrieving orientation information from the display and adjusting the visual images to align with the orientation of the display.
Claims20
An information handling system comprising:
- plural processing components operable to generate visual information;
- a graphics subsystem interfaced with the processing components and operable to process the visual information for presentation as visual images at a display, the visual images having a selectable of plural orientations relative to the display;
- and
- an orientation module running on a processing component, the orientation module operable to receive an orientation indication from the display, to retrieve orientation information from the display in response to the orientation indication and to adjust presentation of the visual images according to the orientation information.
A method for presenting information at a display, the method comprising:
- detecting a change in orientation at the display;
- sending an orientation indication from the display to an information handling system in response to the detecting;
- and
- querying the display from the information handling system for orientation information in response to the orientation indication.
A system for automatic adjustment of images at a display to changes in orientation of the display, the system comprising:
- an orientation device operable to detect changes in orientation of a display and to generate an interrupt in response to the changes;
- and
- an orientation module interfaced with the display and operable to respond to the interrupt by requesting orientation information from the display.
