摘要:
A protection and authentication device for trading collectable objects is described. The device comprises a holder formed for assembly with at least one collectable object to provide protection and preservation of the collectable object. The holder is further formed to resist disassembly and separation with the collectable object, once it is assembled. A protection and authentication device for trading collectable objects also comprises a data storage device comprising data including at least one descriptor that identifies at least in part, at least one collectable object, and further comprises at least one electronic link that can fetch a predetermined external database that stores at least one digital image of at least one collectable object. The digital image may assist a user in the authentication of the collectable object, and may facilitate the ability of a user to trade the collectable object over a network such as the Internet. The data storage device is nondetachably secured to the protection and authentication device, and, the data storage device is compatible with a standard computer system. Thus, it is connectable, directly or indirectly to a computer system or equivalent system for Internet access, either by wire connection, wireless connection, or a combination thereof.

The protection, authentication, identification device also comprises a data storage device which comprises data of at least one stored digital image of the collectable object. The data storage device is nondetachably secured to the protection, authentication, identification device. And, the data storage device is compatible with a standard computer system for display and inspection of the digital image of the collectable object by a user to aid the user in the authentication of the collectable object. In some embodiments, for example, the collectable object is a coin.
摘要:
A compact, ergonomic telephony keypad is described which comprises three principle buttons capable of performing twelve distinct electronic switch operations. The three principle buttons are positioned in a group comprising a telephony keypad with each button formed for tactile manipulation to achieve four of the twelve switch operations. Each button also has four tactile depressible areas positioned thereon around an imaginary central axis. The four tactile depressible areas are spaced about equally apart around the imaginary central axis of each of the principle buttons. And, the three principle buttons are spaced apart and positioned relative to each other so as to substantially maximize the spacing of the twelve depressible areas, while, substantially minimizing the spacing of the principle buttons.

摘要:
A computer and mobile communication system for performing wireless telephone, personal organizer and/or schedule alert functions is provided. The system may have a wireless handset for recording and playing messages, and for performing scheduling functions. The computer may be located in a base station with a common housing which contains a cradle to provide a conduit for exchange of information between the computer and the handset, as well as the circuitry to charge a battery in the handset. The handset may be switched between a telephone mode and a personal organizer mode by opening and closing a protective cover. A method of operating the system is also disclosed.

Provided is a system and method for authentication of collectable objects. A hi-resolution digital camera in communication with a nonvolatile data storage device having a data partition capable of being made immutable is provided. The nonvolatile data storage device is compatible with a computerized device, and the hi-resolution digital camera is operated to record at least one hi-resolution digital image of at least one unique appearance characteristic of a collectable object at an image resolution of at least 300 pixel dots per inch at 1:1 image scale. The at least one hi-resolution digital image is stored in the data partition of the nonvolatile data storage device, together with additional image data. A tamper-resistant marking associated with the collectable object is placed on the nonvolatile data storage device

摘要:
A space-efficient ergonomic telephony keypad is described which comprises three separate groups of four buttons collectively capable of performing twelve distinct electronic switch operations. Each button is formed for tactile operation. Each group has the four buttons positioned about equally around an imaginary central axis. And, each group of four buttons is positionally rotated about 45 degrees relative to the positioning of an adjacent group of four buttons.
