摘要： Convenience, ease of use, efficiency, and economy are some of the benefits of a cordless hand-held device implementing both a scanner and a stylus (active or passive) within a common housing. In an illustrative embodiment, the combined scanner/stylus device is ergonomically shaped and sized for extended comfortable use. During scanning, the device is generally held and aimed at a scan target using one hand as one would hold and aim a small flashlight. The long-axis of the device is thus kept generally parallel with an extended thumb, a scan button being positioned such that the thumb naturally rests atop it for selectively initiating a scan. To write on or tap on the input area of a PDA or Tablet PC, a user of typical coordination can, with the one hand holding the device, spin (rotate) the device to a position common for holding a writing implement.

摘要： Computer hosts, such as PDAs, are customized for use in bar code scanner applications through use of a first-level removable expansion module having bar code related circuitry and a slot and internal connector for a second-level removable memory. In combination with a connected or attached I/O device for scanning bar codes, these modules provide embedded bar code scanning I/O adapter and/or application-specific functions as well as second-level removable memory functions. The removable memory may be used to store a backup copy of the scanned data for restoration in the event the original scan data is lost or corrupted. Restoration may occur using any interface compatible with the removable memory. The removable memory may also be used by the bar code scanner application specific circuitry within the first-level removable expansion module. In illustrative embodiments, an industry standard physical and electrical interface couples the application specific module to the computer host, which provides user interface functions for the application.

摘要： Very small non-volatile memory cards are modified to include a connector to which a connector on a separate data input-output card electrically and mechanically mates when pushed together. The input-output card transfers data directly between an external device and the non-volatile memory, without having to go through the host to which the memory card is connected. The input-output card communicates with the external device through a wired or a wireless communication channel.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for closed-case removable expansion cards having a removable memory enhance the utility of portable computer hosts, such as PDAs. In both a first and second embodiments the closed-case removable expansion cards preferably use a Type II CompactFlash form factor. In the first embodiment the removable memory is in combination with an external-I/O connector or attached external-I/O device, providing both I/O and memory functions in a single closed-case removable expansion card. This increases the expansion functional density for portable computer hosts, such as PDAs. That is, it increases the amount of functionality that can be accommodated within a given volume allocation for expansion devices. In the second embodiment the removable memory is a private memory for application specific circuitry within the closed-case-removable expansion card. This enhances the utility of portable computer hosts, such as PDAs, as universal chassises for application specific uses. The standard CompactFlash physical and electrical interface couples the application specific card to the host, which provides user interface functions for the application. The cards include a top located slot and an internal connector for accepting a MultiMediaCard as the private removable memory. In addition, the application specific card will generally have some manner of I/O to required external devices, such as scanning devices, sensors, or transducers. Otherwise, all functionality for the application specific function is self-contained within the application specific card.

摘要： An improved way to add a wireless peripheral to existing digital systems is taught. A small adapter is suitable for use suspended inline with the cables attached to it. The adapter has an embedded wireless port for receiving data from a wireless peripheral. The adapter further has an input connector for communicating with an existing wired peripheral and an output connector for communicating with the existing system unit. To add a wireless peripheral, the adapter is merely inserted between a wired peripheral and the system unit. The adapter may be plugged directly into the system unit where the cable of the wired peripheral formerly attached. Compared to prior art solutions, the concepts taught ease the installation of the wireless peripherals, lower the cost of the addition, and expand the placement freedom for the wireless peripheral's charging cradle.

摘要： Portable computing hosts, such as PDAs, are customized for use in diverse applications, such as media and game players, through use of a first-level removable expansion module having player-specific circuitry and a slot for a second-level removable module, such as a removable memory. For example, in combination with a connected or attached user interface device (e.g., earphones), these modules provide a host with external-interface circuitry and/or application-specific functions as well as second-level removable memory functions. The removable memory may be used to store and playback digitally encoded media such as music, audio, or video. The removable memory may also be used directly or predominantly by the player's application specific circuitry within the first-level removable expansion module. In illustrative embodiments, an industry standard physical and electrical interface couples the application specific module to the portable computing host, which provides user interface functions for the application.
