Abstract:
A system-in-a-package including a printed circuit board, a receiver, a processor, a baseband module, an image module and a transmitter. The printed circuit board is configured to be mounted within a printer. The receiver (i) receives a first radio frequency signal wirelessly transmitted to the printer from a network device, and (ii) generates a first baseband signal based on the first radio frequency signal. The processor generates a second baseband signal based on the first baseband signal. The baseband module generates a data signal based on the first baseband signal. The image module processes the data signal to implement physical printing via a print mechanism. The transmitter (i) generates a second radio frequency signal based on the second baseband signal, and (ii) transmits the second radio frequency signal from the system-in-a-package to the network device.
Abstract:
A method for operating a circuit board, where: the circuit board is mounted within a printer; a first system on a first chip and a second system on a second chip are mounted on the circuit board; the first system on the first chip comprises a receiver and a transmitter; and the second system on the second chip comprises a first processing module and a second processing module. The method includes wirelessly receiving a first radio frequency signal at the receiver. A second radio frequency signal is generated based on the first radio frequency signal. The second radio frequency signal is wirelessly transmitted from the transmitter. The transmitter is implemented in the first system on the first chip. A data signal is generated based on the first radio frequency signal via the first processing module. A printing process is implemented based on the data signal via the second processing module.

Abstract:
In various embodiments, the present disclosure describes hand-held devices with one or more touch-sensitive areas. The hand-held devices include a housing occupying each of a first plane, a second plane, and a third plane. A first exterior surface of the housing occupies the first plane and includes a first touch-sensitive area responsive to user touch. A second exterior surface of the housing occupies the second plane and includes a second touch-sensitive area responsive to user touch. A third exterior surface of the housing occupies the third plane and includes a display screen. A user interface module causes display of a user interface on the display screen and interprets at least one of (i) user touch of the first touch-sensitive area as a command to interact with the user interface or (ii) user touch of the second touch-sensitive area as a command to interact with the user interface.
