Multi-function information handling system with multi-orientation stand
First Claim
1. An information handling system comprising:
- a planar housing having an upper and lower surface;
a processor disposed in the planar housing and operable to process information;
a memory disposed in the planar housing and interfaced with the processor, the memory operable to store the information;
a display integrated in the planar housing upper surface and interfaced with the processor, the display operable to present the information as visual images;
first and second members rotationally coupled to the planar housing and operable to retract into the planar housing in a retracted position and to extend outward at the planar housing lower surface in an extended position to support the planar housing in an inclined configuration or an upright configuration; and
a standoff disposed on each of the first and second members, the standoff aligned to raise the planar housing relative to a resting surface when the first and second members are in the retracted position.

Abstract
A tablet information handling system processes information with processing components disposed in a planar housing for presentation as images at a display disposed at the upper surface of the planar housing. Support members extend at the lower surface of the planar housing to support the planar housing in an upright configuration having the housing in a first orientation or an inclined configuration having the housing in a second orientation. A cooling fan controller manages cooling airflow direction through the planar housing based upon the orientation of the planar housing to blow hot air exiting the housing in a direction away from the likely location of an end user relative to the planar housing.

8. A system for presenting information as visual images, the system comprising:
-
a planar housing having a display integrated in an upper surface; first and second supports operable to extend from a bottom surface of the planar housing, the first and second supports aligned in the housing to have one extended position that disposes the display in an inclined position with a first end of the housing raised above a second end of the housing or in an upright position with the second end of the housing raised above the first end; and a sensor disposed on at least one of the members, the sensor operable to detect a force translated from a resting surface to determine the whether the planar housing is in the inclined configuration or the upright configuration. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
