Skin transition thermal control for convertible information handling systems

A method for managing information handling system housing surface temperatures, the method comprising:

• detecting a transition of the information handling system housing from a first rotational orientation configuration having a first surface temperature limit to a second rotational orientation configuration having a second surface temperature limit;
• in response to the detecting, bursting thermal transfer of a thermal rejection device for a predetermined time to adjust the housing surface temperature;
• managing the thermal rejection device after the bursting to maintain the housing surface temperature below the second surface temperature limit;
• detecting a transition of the information handling system housing from the second rotational orientation to the first rotational orientation;
• and
• in response to the detecting, bursting processing speed of a processor disposed in the housing at least until the housing surface temperature increases to the first surface temperature limit.

A system for managing information handling system surface temperatures, the system comprising:

• an embedded controller operable to execute instructions;
• and
• non-transitory memory interfaced with the embedded controller, the non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed on the embedded controller:
• detect transition of an information handling system from a clamshell configuration to a tablet configuration;
• detect a temperature at a predetermined portion of the information handling system housing that exceeds a tablet configuration maximum temperature;
• and
• in response to the detect of a temperature at a predetermined portion of the information handling system housing that exceeds a tablet configuration maximum temperature, burst a thermal rejection device to reduce the temperature at the predetermined portion.
