Electronic compensated pivot control
First Claim
1. A pivotable system for a display device comprising:
- pivotable components at multiple pivot points configured to pivot in coordination to position the display device in one of multiple display positions;
one or more actuators configured to drive the pivotable components to position the display device;
one or more clutches configured to limit movement of the pivotable components;
a pivot controller configured to;
receive input data corresponding to a user input to change a position of the display device;
control the one or more actuators based on the input data to assist with positioning the display device;
determine based on the input data, movement towards an unstable position of the display device; and
control the one or more clutches to limit movement of the pivotable components into the unstable position and hold the position of the display device.

Abstract
In embodiments of electronic compensated pivot control, a computing device includes a device housing that is integrated with a display device, and the device housing tilts for multiple display positions. Pivotable components pivot in coordination to position the display device in a display position, and sensors detect positioning inputs that are received to re-position the display device. Actuators are implemented for electronic actuation to drive the pivotable components to position the display device, and clutches are implemented to limit movement of the pivotable components. A pivot controller is implemented to receive input data corresponding to a user input to change a position of the display device, control the actuators based on the input data to assist with positioning the display device, receive an indication that the user input has stopped, and control the one or more clutches to hold the position of the display device.
