20100177063 | PAGE CHANGE INDICATION DEVICES AND METHODS FOR DIGITAL PENS - A digital pen input system for allowing a user to write or draw by interacting with sheets of paper and allowing electronic tracing of pen movements for digital storage or display, the input device comprising a holder for sheets of paper, and a unit for detecting exchange of a current sheet, the system comprising: an autonomous page changing detector for autonomously detecting an action being a direct part of the exchange of a current sheet; and a data-stream insertion unit for inserting a new page indicator into a data stream emerging from the pen movements, at a location in the stream indicated by a time of the detecting, the new page indicator being a display instruction to separately display pen movements located before and after the new page indicator as separate pages. | 07-15-2010 |
20110096042 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DIGITAL PEN ASSEMBLY - A digital pen comprising a skeleton and a removable skin: the skeleton holding together in fixed relationship: an electric circuit; an acoustic transmitter, detached from said electric circuit, and configured to transmit acoustic signals; and a resilient holder, configured to mechanically press said electric circuit into electrical contact with said transmitter, so as to electrically connect said electric circuit and said transmitter; and the removable skin comprising a housing fitting over said skeleton. | 04-28-2011 |
20110096043 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DIGITAL PEN ASSEMBLY - A receiving unit for receiving an acoustic signal from a digital pen, comprises: at least two ultrasound receivers, for receiving ultrasound signals from the digital pen; an electric circuit connected to said ultrasound receivers, and configured to extract ultrasound signals received by said ultrasound receivers, to enable tracking a position of said pen, and a biased clip for holding paper in fixed relationship to said ultrasound receivers. The clip may be metal, and alignment and location features may be provided for fitting sheets of paper for writing. | 04-28-2011 |
20110096044 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DIGITAL PEN ASSEMBLY - A receiving unit for receiving an acoustic signal from a digital pen, comprises: a housing; at least two ultrasound receivers, for receiving ultrasound signals from the digital pen, the ultrasound receivers comprising electret microphones, the electret microphones being located in location holes in the housing; and an electric circuit connected to said electret microphones, to extract ultrasound signals received by the ultrasound receivers. An attachment device may removably attach the receiving unit to another item. | 04-28-2011 |
20120086675 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DIGITAL PEN ASSEMBLY - A digital pen comprising: an electric circuit, an acoustic transmitter, detached from the electric circuit, and configured to transmit acoustic signals, and a resilient holder, configured to mechanically press the electric circuit into electrical contact with the transmitter, so as to electrically connect the electric circuit and the transmitter. | 04-12-2012 |

20080215788 | CONNECTOR WITH OPPOSITE-FACING PORTS - A connector for connecting a host device to one or more peripheral devices includes two ports, for example two USB ports, facing in two different, preferably opposite, directions. The scope of the invention also includes a system board that includes the connector, and a host device, such as a computer, that includes the motherboard. | 09-04-2008 |
20090171715 | Powerfully simple digital media player and methods for use therewith - A powerfully simple digital media player and methods for use therewith are disclosed. In one embodiment, a digital media player with a simplified user interface is disclosed that, like an FM radio, allows a user to easily select a category of digital media for playback. In another embodiment, to make the experience more FM-radio-like for a user, instead of charging the user for the digital audio files, digital media files can be distributed for free (or at a reduced charge) by playing advertisements before, during, or after the playback of a digital audio file. In yet another embodiment, an exemplary network infrastructure is provided. In another embodiment, a generic streaming content file interface is presented. Other embodiments are disclosed, and any of these embodiments can be used alone or in combination with one another. | 07-02-2009 |
20130167201 | REMOTE ACCESS TO A DATA STORAGE DEVICE - A method may be performed in a data storage device that stores one or more files and that is operatively coupled to any host device that is accessible to another device via a network. The method includes receiving an access request originating from the other device. The access request is received via a particular host device registered as a recipient of requests for access to the data storage device via the network while the data storage device is operatively coupled to the host device and while the host device is accessible via the network. The method also includes, in response to receiving the access request, sending a response with access information to the other device. The response is provided to the particular host device to be sent to the other device via the network. | 06-27-2013 |
20140258459 | REMOTE ACCESS TO A DATA STORAGE DEVICE - A method may be performed in a data storage device while the data storage device is operatively coupled to a host device that is registered at a network server as a designated recipient of access requests directed to the data storage device. The data storage device includes a controller and a memory storing one or more files. The method includes receiving an access request originating from a second device that is distinct from the host device. The host device is accessible to the second device via the network server. The method also includes, when the second device is authorized to access the data storage device, sending a response with access information to the second device via the network server. | 09-11-2014 |
