Abstract
An information handling system may include a processor, at least one visual indicator communicatively coupled to the processor and configured to visually indicate status information associated with the information handling system, and a motion sensor communicatively coupled to the at least one visual indicator and configured to detect for a presence of motion proximate to the information handling system and in the presence of motion proximate to the information handling system, cause the at least one visual indicator to be enabled to illuminate in order to visually indicate the status information.
Claims19
An information handling system comprising:
- a processor;
- at least one visual indicator communicatively coupled to the processor and configured to visually indicate status information associated with the information handling system;
- and
- a motion sensor communicatively coupled to the at least one visual indicator and configured to:
- detect for a presence of motion proximate to the information handling system;
- and
- in the presence of motion proximate to the information handling system, cause the at least one visual indicator to be enabled to illuminate in order to visually indicate the status information.
A method for use in an information handling system comprising a processor and at least one visual indicator communicatively coupled to the processor and configured to visually indicate status information associated with the information handling system, the method comprising:
- detecting for a presence of motion proximate to the information handling system;
- and
- in the presence of motion proximate to the information handling system, causing the at least one visual indicator to be enabled to illuminate in order to visually indicate the status information.
A system comprising:
- at least one visual indicator configured to visually indicate status information associated with the system;
- and
- circuitry communicatively coupled to the at least one visual indicator and configured to:
- detect for a presence of motion proximate to the system;
- and
- in the presence of motion proximate to the system, cause the at least one visual indicator to be enabled to illuminate in order to visually indicate the status information.
