摘要:
A user computer device is provided that comprises a temperature sensitive touchscreen having a temperature sensitive user interface comprising multiple thermal energy emitter/detector devices, such as thermocouples. The multiple thermal energy emitter/detector devices are capable both of detecting thermal energy and emitting thermal energy. The temperature sensitive user interface generates thermal patterns that may be transferred to other thermally sensitive electronic devices or that may be used to authenticate the user computer device. The user computer device also can detect and thermally communicate with a thermal energy docking station and, based on thermal recognition, activate applications displayed on the temperature sensitive touchscreen. Further, the user computer device can auto-bias a temperature of the temperature sensitive user interface in order to better assure proper operation of the temperature sensitive user interface in all operating conditions.

A communication system is provided that allows a user to exchange a stream of data with a user computer device via a capacitive touchscreen of the device. The communication system includes a user's data input device having a capacitive user interface and a user computer device having a capacitive touchscreen. When the capacitive user interface of the data input device and the capacitive touchscreen of the user computer device are in sufficient to proximity to each other, an inter-device capacitance is created over which exchanging a stream of data may be exchanged between the data input device and the user computer device.

摘要:
A portable electronic device comprising a housing, and a first user interface, a second user interface and one or more sensors supported by the housing, and a method thereof. The first user interface has an active state, and the second user interface has an inactive state while the first user interface is in the active state. The sensor or sensors detect an environmental condition. The second user interface changes from the inactive state to the active state and the first user interface changes from the active state to the inactive state in response to one or more sensors detecting the environmental condition. For another embodiment, the device may detect an energy level of a power source of the portable electronic device. The second user interface of the portable electronic device is then activated and the first user interface of the portable electronic device is deactivated in response to detecting the energy level of the power source.
