Display-covered camera

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, at an information handling device, an indication to activate a camera positioned underneath a display portion of the information handing device;

identifying, using a processor, a location of at least one pixel on the display portion positioned overtop the camera;

disabling, based on the identifying, the at least one pixel;

automatically adjusting, based on the indication and in response to the disabling and without receiving additional user input, at least one dimensional characteristic of a content display area on the display portion, wherein the automatically adjusting comprises:

decreasing a size of the content display area from an original size to a reduced size;

relocating the content display area at the reduced size to another location on the display portion that does not overlap with the location of the at least one pixel; and

deactivating all other pixels, in addition to the at least one pixel, located outside the content display area;

performing, subsequent to the disabling and using the camera, a function;

enabling, responsive to identifying that the function was performed, the at least one pixel and the all other pixels; and

automatically reforming, subsequent to the enabling, the content display area to the original size.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication is associated with at least one of a user-command and a context determination.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the display portion is an edge-to-edge display portion.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the display portion is a touch-sensitive display portion.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one pixel comprises a plurality of pixels.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the disabling the plurality of pixels comprises disabling the plurality of pixels in a predetermined pattern.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising adjusting, based on the disabling, a characteristic of an active application.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the characteristic comprises at least one of an application position and an application behavior.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the function is at least one function selected from the group consisting of: an image capture function, a video capture function, a facial recognition function, and a gaze tracking function.

10. An information handling device, comprising:

a display portion of the information handling device;

a camera positioned underneath the display portion;

a processor;

a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to:

receive an indication to active the camera;

identify a location of at least one pixel on the display portion positioned overtop the camera;

disable, based on the identifying, the at least one pixel;

automatically adjust, based on the indication and in response to the disabling and without receiving additional user input, at least one dimensional characteristic of a content display area on the display portion, wherein the instructions executable by the processor to automatically adjust comprise instructions executable by the processor to:

decrease a size of the content display area from an original size to a reduced size;

relocate the content display area at the reduced size to another location on the display portion that does not overlap with the location of the at least one pixel; and

deactivate all other pixels, in addition to the at least one pixel, located outside the content display area:

perform, subsequent to the disabling and using the camera, a function;

enable, responsive to identifying that the function was performed, the at least one pixel and the all other pixels; and

automatically reform, subsequent to the enabling, the content display area to the original size.

11. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the indication is associated with at least one of a user-command and a context determination.

12. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the display portion is an edge-to-edge display portion.

13. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the at least one pixel comprises a plurality of pixels.

14. The information handling device of claim 13 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor to disable the plurality of pixels comprise instructions executable by the processor to disable the plurality of pixels in a predetermined pattern.

15. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to adjust, based on the disabling, a characteristic of an active application.

16. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the characteristic comprises at least one of an application position and an application behavior.

17. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the function is at least one function selected from the group consisting of: an image capture function, a video capture function, a facial recognition function, and a gaze tracking function.

18. A product, comprising:

a non-transitory storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor and comprising:

code that receives an indication to activate a camera positioned underneath a display portion of an information handling device;

code that identifies a location of at least one pixel on the display portion positioned overtop the camera;

code that disables, based on the identifying, the at least one pixel;

code that automatically adjusts, based on the indication and in response to the code that disables and without receiving additional user input, at least one dimensional characteristic of a content display area on the display portion, wherein the code that automatically adjusts comprises code that:

decreases a size of the content display area at the reduced size;

relocates the content display area at the reduced size to another location on the display portion that does not overlap with the location of the at least one pixel;

code that deactivates all other pixels, in addition to the at least one pixel, located outside the content display area:

code that performs, subsequent to the disabling and using the camera, a function;

code that enables, responsive to identifying that the function as performed, the at least one pixel and the all other pixels; and

code that automatically reforms, subsequent to the enabling, the content display area to the original size.
