Cursor identification on an IHS display

1. A method for managing a cursor visible in one or more displays utilized by an Information Handling System (IHS), the method comprising:

configuring a cursor activation mode that is initiated by an entry condition and ended by an exit condition, wherein the cursor activation mode is associated with a modified appearance of the cursor;

detecting the entry condition;

determining the exit condition associated with the cursor activation mode, wherein the exit condition comprises an expiration of a time duration specified by a model trained based on prior durations required for a user to locate the cursor during prior instances of the cursor activation mode;

modifying the appearance of the cursor upon detecting the entry condition; and

upon detecting the exit condition, restoring the appearance of the cursor.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the modification of the appearance of the cursor comprises enlarging a size of the cursor.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the modification of the appearance of the cursor comprises changing a color of the cursor.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a screen location for positioning the cursor on a first display of the one or more displays; and

positioning the cursor at the determined screen location of the first display prior to modifying the appearance of the cursor.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the determined screen location on the first display for the position the cursor comprises a screen location corresponding to a direction of a gaze of a user of the IHS.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the exit condition comprises detecting whether a direction of a gaze of a user of the IHS corresponds to a location of the displayed cursor.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the model specifying the time duration is further trained based on a number of the one or more displays utilized by the IHS.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the model specifying the time duration is further trained based on a resolution of the one or more displays used utilized by the IHS.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the model specifying the time duration is further trained based on a level of ambient lighting.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the entry condition comprises the IHS exiting an idle state.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the entry condition comprises a keyboard input.

12. An Information Handling System (IHS) utilizing one or more displays comprising a first display and a second display, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory device coupled to the one or more processors, the memory device storing computer-readable instructions that, upon execution by the one or more processors, cause the system to:

configure a cursor activation mode that is initiated by an entry condition and ended by an exit condition, wherein the cursor activation mode is associated with a modified appearance and a modified location of a cursor;

detect the entry condition;

determine the exit condition associated with the cursor activation mode, wherein the exit condition comprises an expiration of a time duration specified by a model trained based on prior durations required for a user to locate the cursor during prior instances of the cursor activation mode;

upon detecting the entry condition:

determine the cursor is currently being displayed in the first display,

determine a gaze of user of the IHS is directed at the second display,

modify the location of the cursor by repositioning the cursor from the first display to a screen location on the second display, and

modify the appearance of the cursor at the screen location on the second display; and

upon detecting the exit condition, restoring the appearance of the cursor.

13. The IHS of claim 12 , wherein the modification of the appearance of the cursor comprises at least one of: enlarging a size of the cursor and changing a color of the cursor.

14. The IHS of claim 12 , wherein the cursor is repositioned to a predefined screen location of the second display without regard to a specific screen location of the second display that corresponds to a direction of the user's gaze.

15. The IHS of claim 12 , wherein the screen location on the first second display for the repositioning of the cursor comprises a screen location on the second display corresponding to a direction of a gaze of a user of the IHS.

16. The IHS of claim 12 , wherein the entry condition comprises the IHS exiting an idle state.

17. A computer-readable storage device of an Information Handling System (IHS) utilizing one or more displays, the storage device comprising program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

configure a cursor activation mode that is initiated by an entry condition, wherein the cursor activation mode is associated with a modified appearance of a cursor;

detect the entry condition comprising the IHS exiting an idle state;

determine an exit condition associated with the cursor activation mode, wherein the exit condition comprises an expiration of a time duration specified by a model trained based on prior durations required for a user to locate the cursor during prior instances of the cursor activation mode;

upon detecting the entry condition, modify the appearance of the cursor; and

upon detecting the exit condition, restoring the appearance of the cursor.

18. The storage device of claim 17 , wherein the modification of the appearance of the cursor comprises at least one of: enlarging a size of the cursor and changing a color of the cursor.

19. The storage device of claim 17 , wherein the idle state is a low-power mode of the IHS in which the one or more displays are turned off.
