摘要:
An apparatus and method for providing Unicode support in legacy operating systems are provided. With the apparatus and method, a focus hook module, keyboard hook module, and keystroke conversion module are registered with the legacy operating system. The focus hook module determines the currently active application and whether the currently active application is Unicode capable. The keyboard hook module receives keyboard events from an input interface and sends those keyboard events to the keystroke conversion module. The keystroke conversion module converts the keyboard events into Unicode characters which are sent back to the keyboard hook module. The keyboard hook module then stores the Unicode characters in a temporary storage memory, e.g., the clipboard. The keyboard hook module then sends a command to the application to paste the contents of the temporary storage memory to the currently active application.

A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for transmitting accessibility requirements. Content is received from a computer at a data processing system. The content is parsed for a selected indicator. The data processing system is queried to identify accessibility requirements in response to the selected indicator being present. The identified accessibility requirements are sent to the computer. These accessibility requirements are use by the computer to generate content for the data processing system.

Complex languages such as bidirectional or double byte character set (e.g., Unicode) languages are supported in tier-0 devices despite the limited storage resources common for such devices. A phrase dictionary is built within a host data processing system which is capable of communicating with the tier-0 device and which supports complex language input. Commonly used text strings are added to the phrase dictionary utilizing any characters. The contents of the phrase dictionary are then transferred, along with sparse font information containing only the glyphs necessary for characters within the phrase dictionary, to the tier-0 device. Since font information for only a subset of all possible characters is stored in the tier-0 device, a much smaller amount of storage resources are consumed. On the tier-0 device, the phrase dictionary is invoked by a user control such as a pop-up, and the desired phrase may then be selected for entry into a data entry field. Additional phrases may be added as needed to the phrase dictionary on the host system and the phrase dictionary within the tier-0 device updated to add the new contents and associated sparse font information, if necessary. Multilingual support is therefore enabled in the tier-0 device with minimal consumption of resources.

Methods, systems, and media to mount one or more components to a hardware casing are disclosed. Embodiments include hardware and/or software for determining a pattern of interconnects to apply to an interior surface of the hardware casing. The pattern includes at least one independent path for transmitting a signal between the components. The pattern of interconnects is then applied to the interior surface, the application being configured for the topography of the interior surface to couple the components with the pattern of interconnects. In many embodiments, the components may then be mounted to the casing and interconnected with the interconnects. And, in some embodiments the pattern of interconnects may be coupled with a circuit board having additional components.

A method for selecting options for a virtual machine in a data processing system. The browser provides an interface in which the interface allows for selection of options for use by the virtual machine. A selection of an option is received for use by the virtual machine. The selection of the option is stored, wherein the selection of the option is used by the browser when initializing the virtual machine.
摘要:
An apparatus which allows a user to use any desired combination of keyboard, input device, and display to operate and control either of two computer systems. The switching apparatus is in a computer system comprising a display adapter operable to output a display signal, an input adapter operable to receive a keyboard signal and a pointing device signal, a display device operable to receive a display signal, a keyboard operable to output a keyboard signal, and a pointing device operable to output a pointing device signal. The switching apparatus comprises a display switching circuit connected to the display signal and connectable to an external display signal, operable to select between the display signal and the external display signal and output the selected signal to the display device or to an external display device; a keyboard switching circuit connected to the keyboard signal and connectable to an external keyboard signal, operable to select between the keyboard signal and the external keyboard signal and output the selected signal to the input adapter or to an external computer system; and a pointing device switching circuit connected to the pointing device signal and connectable to an external pointing device signal, operable to select between the pointing device signal and the pointing device keyboard signal and output the selected signal to the input adapter or to an external computer system.
摘要:
A system for the ease of use in making repetitively or frequently required data entries into interactive display interface pages or screens which includes a database of repetitively or frequently used data entries which may be ported to any displayable interface page or screen even though the interface page is provided from a source independent of and remote from the database holding the repetitive data entries. The system provides means for displaying on each of the plurality of interface pages or screens, a menu of items each representative of one of said plurality of repetitive data entries, and means for selecting on each displayed interface screen, at least one of said items to thereby make a data entry in a data entry field on said screen. The system is customizable to each particular user by permitting the user to modify the data entries in the portable database to satisfy the user's needs. In addition to Internet document systems, the invention is applicable to electronic mail systems. In the case of a global network, such as the Internet, the present invention may be operatively associated with the Internet browser or even form a component of the browser.
