Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for configuring operations of an Information Handling System (IHS) that includes a lid panel and a base panel, such as a laptop or convertible laptop. A first lid state is determined based at least partially on a first angle of a hinge connecting the lid panel and base panel. A transition of the hinge angle to a second angle is determined, indicating movement of the lid by the user. Based at least partially on the second hinge angle, a second lid state is determined. Based on the transition from the first lid state to the second lid state, modifications to a plurality of IHS outputs are determined and the plurality outputs are reconfigured. In some embodiments, a speed of the hinge angle transition is determined and the modifications to the IHS outputs are determined based on the speed of the hinge angle transition.
