Patent application number | Description | Published |
20080248748 | Systems and methods for pairing Bluetooth devices - Embodiments of software-supervised pairing processes are provided. The processes enable a user to pair a mouse and keyboard with a Bluetooth transceiver without having to use a second mouse and keyboard. At least two separate processes are provided, including a long transition for initial pairing or re-pairing and a short transition for re-establishing a connection after devices have already been paired. | 10-09-2008 |
20090048018 | Programmable movement of an orientation of a game character view of a game environment - A control system comprises a control device comprising a programmable macro button, a memory containing view change settings, a driver program and a microprocessor. The driver program includes a view change output that is produced in response to actuation of the macro button and is based on the view change settings. The microprocessor is configured to move the orientation of the character view of the game environment from a beginning orientation to an ending orientation in response to the view change output. Also disclosed is a method of using a control system to move an orientation of a character view of a game environment in a video game. | 02-19-2009 |
20090132892 | ENCODING AND APPLICATION OF EXTENDED HAMMING CHECKSUM - A method for calculating an extended hamming checksum and applying the extended hamming checksum to a data packet, the method comprising forming a packet extended hamming checksum mask, calculating a hamming code, calculating an extended hamming checksum using the packet extended hamming checksum mask and the hamming code, and inserting the extended hamming checksum into the data packet. | 05-21-2009 |
20090144621 | RECORDING, PLAYBACK, AND VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF MACROS - The recording, playing back, and visual representation of macros is disclosed. For example, one embodiment involves a computing device configured to receive a macro record command, receive one or more input commands to be grouped as the macro, display a representation of the one or more input commands, wherein the representation changes between a first representation mode and a second representation mode based upon the one or more input commands, and receive a macro stop record command. | 06-04-2009 |
20100265183 | STATE CHANGES FOR AN ADAPTIVE DEVICE - Various embodiments of systems and method to implement a state change for an adaptive device are provided. In one example, a method is disclosed that includes receiving a system state input indicating a change in a system state of a computing device, changing adaptive device data in response to the system state input to form changed adaptive device data, the adaptive device data and the changed adaptive device data each including one or more of image data and adaptive device mapping data, and adjusting an adaptive device display state using the changed adaptive device data, wherein adjusting the adaptive device display state includes one or more of displaying the image data on the keyboard display and adjusting an adaptive device mapping state according to the adaptive device mapping data. | 10-21-2010 |
20100275218 | CONTROLLING ACCESS OF APPLICATION PROGRAMS TO AN ADAPTIVE INPUT DEVICE - Methods and systems for controlling access of application programs to an adaptive input device are described herein. One exemplary computing system includes an application programming interface executable on a computing device for controlling said access to an adaptive input device having a plurality of display regions. The application programming interface is configured to receive a display request from one of the application programs to display formatted output on the composite display and is further configured to apply at least a display sharing policy based on application-specific policy settings received from the application program for defining an application-specific area including at least one of the display regions. Further, the application programming interface is configured to generate formatted output based on the application-specific policy settings, and to send the formatted output to the application-specific area for display. The application-specific policy settings include a shared display mode and an exclusive display mode. | 10-28-2010 |
20110314399 | WINDOWLESS RUNTIME CONTROL OF DYNAMIC INPUT DEVICE - Windowless runtime control of a dynamic input device is provided by a computing system including a container module to host one or more runtime environments, including a windowless runtime environment. The computing system further includes an input-device user-interface runtime application executed within the windowless runtime environment to receive dynamic-input messages from a dynamic input device while another application executed outside of the container module has active focus of the computing system. | 12-22-2011 |
20110314405 | CONTEXTUAL CONTROL OF DYNAMIC INPUT DEVICE - A computing system includes one or more input-device user-interface runtime applications to dynamically display images on a dynamic input device. The one or more input-device user-interface runtime applications are executed in a currently active desktop. The computing system further includes a dominant application configured to execute in the currently active desktop. The dominant application is configured to specify an input-device user-interface runtime application corresponding to a current context of the dominant application. The specified input-device user-interface runtime application is configured to dynamically display virtual controls on the dynamic input device. The specified input-device user-interface runtime application is also configured to report activation of the virtual controls to the dominant application. | 12-22-2011 |
