Title: Method for entering a character sequence into an electronic device and electronic device
Inventor: HSI ERIC
IPC: G06F3/0489
Filed: 2002-11-14
Abstract: Method for entering a character sequence consisting of one or more characters into an electronic device, which device comprises keys for entering keystrokes by a user as well a display panel for presenting information to the user, wherein a group of characters is presented on the display panel in the form of a matrix composed of rows and columns, wherein at least one specific character can be pointed by means of a cursor which is movable through said matrix, and wherein the character sequence is constructed by pointing out consecutive characters one by one by means of the cursor and said character is entered by means of a keystroke. According the invention the method is characterized in that in order to enter a specific character from the character sequence the cursor moves automatically in a first direction through a specific row or column, thereby sequentially pointing out the characters in said row or column; the automatically moving cursor can be moved towards the row or column of the specific character by means of one or more first and/or second keystrokes.

Abstract: The electrical connector may include a housing, a contact, a secondary lock, a grommet, a backplate, a bolt, a contact removal tool, and a splash guard. The housing includes openings which receive the contacts. The grommets are positioned in cavities at the rear of the housing. The housing and backplate are designed so that the grommets are subjected to compressive forces in order to enhance the sealing characteristic of the grommets. As the contact is inserted, a locking tab engages an opening in the contact and prevents the contact from being removed from the housing. The secondary locks will increase the retention of the contact in the electrical connector. In addition, the secondary lock may include a feature which permits the partial insertion and retention of the secondary lock prior to insertion of the contact. The secondary lock also assures that the contacts have been properly inserted. The electrical connector may also include a splash guard which would assist in deflecting water from the rear of the electrical connector. The electrical connector may also include a removal tool which may be used to remove contacts from the electrical connector. The removal tool can be stored in the backplate or the housing.

Abstract: A retention memory (7) retains 2D image data picked-up and output by camera portion (3) in association with corresponding thumbnail image data (60). The 2D image data retained in the retention memory (7) is converted to 3D image data formed of image data for left-eye (L) and for right-eye (R) for stereoscopic vision of the image as desired. A retention portion (5) creates thumbnail image data (60) with a shrunken image based on this 3D image data and stores the created thumbnail image data and the 3D image data in the retention memory (7) in association with each other. The thumbnail image data (60) is created, for example, by reducing the left-eye image data (L) and the right-eye image data (R) of the 3D image data to satisfy a thumbnail size. A listing of thumbnails based on the thumbnail image data (60) in retention memory (7) is displayed on a display portion (10) so that the retained image can be recognized at a glance.

Abstract: This disclosure provides a data entry system having a handheld writing
device. In particular,
a digital electronic clipboard is used to mount pages or
forms utilized in forms processing applications, such as
inventory tracking. A stylus having a writing tip at
one end of the stylus and a bar code scanning mechanism
at another end of the stylus is used to enter data on
the pages or forms and scan bar codes appearing on the
pages or forms themselves, or on a separate item to be
associated with the form. The system detects whether
bar code data or stylus position data is being generated
and causes its CPU to responsively process entered data.
In an alternative embodiment, the system also permits
generation of only one of stylus position data and bar
code data at any given time. By providing a bar code
scanner in the same implement as the stylus, the system
permits a user to scan bar codes without having to
replace the stylus or obtain a scanning implement;
furthermore, scanning of a bar code on a preprinted form
inherently provides a stream of stylus data with
information to exactly reproduce a hardcopy form
completed by the user, e.g., by combining an image of
the preprinted form with entered stylus data.
