Abstract:
1. An Internet-Pad supporting both touch sensitive screen and voice activated command interfaces for interacting with a user, the Internet-Pad being a mobile and wireless information apparatus, the Internet-Pad including one or more applications with access to digital content, the Internet-Pad including each of the following applications installed or pre-installed: an e-mail application, a digital imaging application, an image editing application for image editing, an audio application, a video application, a document editing application, an Internet browsing application, and operating system software in the Internet-Pad supporting an object model or an application programming interface (API) to facilitate operation of at least one of said e-mail application, said image editing application, said audio application, said video application, said digital imaging application, said document editing application, and said Internet browsing application, individually or in any combination, included in the Internet-Pad, and wherein, the Internet-Pad is operable to allow the user to install additional applications associated for running on said operating system software to further expand the functionalities of the Internet-Pad; the Internet-Pad further comprising: a digital camera for taking pictures, a touch sensitive screen interface for interacting with the user, a graphical user interface over the touch sensitive screen, a microphone interface, a speaker interface for outputting sound to the user, a voice activated command function for receiving voice commands from the user over the microphone interface, a processing unit, a memory or storage unit for storing at least a portion of the digital content, and a wireless communication unit that includes a radio frequency controller and an antenna for establishing radio frequency wireless communication between the Internet-Pad and one or more wireless output devices that are distinct devices from the Internet-Pad, the wireless communication unit being compatible, at least partly, with at least part of a protocol within IEEE 802.11 standards; and wherein, the Internet-Pad is further operable to: receive, via the voice activated command function from the user, a request to transmit or output at least part of the digital content from the Internet-Pad, the digital content including one or more of an e-mail, audio content, video content, a receipt, a confirmation, a map, a photo, graphics, a web page, and a document, individually or in any combination, and pass at least part of the digital content from at least one of said audio application, said digital imaging application, said image editing application, said document editing application, said e-mail application, said Internet browsing application, and said video application, individually or in any combination, for transmission or output of at least part of the digital content from the Internet-Pad, the passing of the at least part of the digital content being facilitated, at least in part, by the object model or the application programming interface (API) supported by the Internet-Pad operating system software, and transmit or output, over the wireless communication unit of the Internet-Pad, at least part of the digital content from the Internet-Pad; wherein, the mobile and wireless Internet-Pad is operable to receive voice activated commands from the user to transmit or output at least part of the digital content from the Internet-Pad; and wherein, the Internet-Pad is further operable to: take a picture with the digital camera included in the Internet-Pad, provide, via the touch sensitive screen interface of the Internet-Pad, one or more wireless output devices that are available for transferring or outputting at least part of the digital content for selection by the user, receive, from the user via the touch sensitive screen interface of the Internet-Pad, a selection of a wireless output device from among the one or more wireless output devices that are provided for selection by the user, establish, via the wireless communication unit that is compatible, at least partly, with at least part of a protocol within IEEE 802.11 standards, a radio frequency wireless connection from the Internet-Pad to the selected wireless output device for transfer or output of at least part of the digital content that includes at least part of the picture taken with the digital camera to the selected wireless output device, and transfer, via the wireless communication unit that is compatible, at least partly, with at least part of a protocol within IEEE 802.11 standards, at least part of the digital content that includes at least part of the picture taken with the digital camera over the established radio frequency wireless connection from the Internet-Pad to the selected wireless output device; and whereby, the mobile and wireless Internet-Pad is further operable to receive, via the touch sensitive screen interface of the Internet-Pad, a selected wireless output device from the user for transfer of at least part of the digital content that includes at least part of the picture taken with the digital camera of the Internet-Pad to the selected wireless output device over the established radio frequency wireless connection between the Internet-Pad and the selected wireless output device.
