摘要:
A mobile computing device and an accessory device are individually equipped with features and components that enable magnetic coupling of the two devices. Specific embodiments provide for the use of one or more horseshoe magnets for use in the magnetic coupling mechanisms. As an addition or alternative, electromagnetic coupling may be used to selectively maintain and/or orient the two devices in a mated position.

Example embodiments relate to a keyboard-based multi-touch input system using a displayed representation of a user's hand. In example embodiments, a sensor detects movement of a user's hand in a direction parallel to a top surface of a physical keyboard. A computing device may then receive information describing the movement of the user's hand from the sensor and output a real-time visualization of the user's hand on the display. This visualization may be overlaid on a mufti-touch enabled user interface, such that the user may perform actions on objects within the user interface by performing multi-touch gestures.

A keypad includes a plurality of keys, and a processor that is coupled to control use of the keypad, including to enable use of the keypad in each of a letter entry mode or an alternative entry mode. The plurality of keys include a subset of keys, each key in the subset being (i) enlarged as compared to other keys of the keypad that are not part of the subset, (ii) assigned m letter values for when the keypad is operated in the letter entry mode, and (iii) assigned n numeric values, where 1≦n

摘要:
Systems and methods for generating a derived biometric template are provided. A biometric sample of a user is determined. A base biometric template includes a plurality of features extracted from the biometric sample. A degree of rotation is determined, and a derived biometric template is generated using the degree of rotation.
摘要:
Illustrated is a system and method to detect an inductively received electrical charge, the electrical charge received from a form factor capable of inductively charging and exchanging data with a mobile computing device. The system and method also includes displaying a user interface (UI) on the mobile computing device, the UI to receive input to instantiate a node that represents the form factor. Additionally, the system and method includes associating the node with a map to be displayed on the mobile computing device.

摘要:
A mobile device (e.g. a smartphone) controls a feature of a non-navigation related application (e.g. arrangement of menu items, function controlled by a quick launch key, etc.) based on the orientation of the device. These controls may be context-specific such that the orientation is only used to control the feature in particular contexts. Context may be implied from various factors such as time and date information, the location of the device, other devices in proximity to the device, etc. The particular commands to be controlled based on the orientation can be set using the device, or can be loaded from a data file provided from a third party.
摘要:
A computing device processes input by determining one or more inputs corresponding to a user interacting with an input interface. In an embodiment, the input interface may correspond to a button state or to a multi-state input interface. A value corresponding to an amount of pressure applied by the user is determined on the computing device. The value is determined during an instance or duration in which the user is interacting with the input interface. The value for the applied pressure is determined apart from the input. In one embodiment, the value is determined using a force sensor that is separate from the input interface. An operation is then performed that is responsive to the determined amount of pressure, as well as to the one or more inputs.
