摘要： An improved handle/prop is provided for a pen-based computer wherein the handle/prop is pivotally mounted to opposite side edges of the computer. The handle/prop can be pivoted and locked into a plurality of different positions. These positions are selected to facilitate carrying the computer, supporting the computer on a flat surface in one or more inclined positions for writing and/or viewing, and holding the computer during writing. In particular, to facilitate writing on the computer screen while holding the computer, the handle/prop is mounted so that it can be swung into a recessed position behind an overlapping portion of the front display surface. This will minimize the size of the computer and minimize interference with holding the computer and writing on its screen at the same time.

摘要翻译： 提供了一种用于笔式计算机的改进的手柄/支架，其中手柄/支架枢转地安装到计算机的相对侧边缘。 手柄/支架可以枢转并锁定到多个不同的位置。 选择这些位置以便于携带计算机，将计算机支撑在用于书写和/或观看的一个或多个倾斜位置的平坦表面上，并且在书写期间保持计算机。 特别地，为了便于在握住计算机的同时在计算机屏幕上书写，手柄/支架被安装成可以摆动到前显示表面的重叠部分后面的凹进位置。 这将最小化计算机的大小，并尽可能减少与计算机的干扰和同时在其屏幕上书写。

摘要： An improved handle/prop is provided for a pen-based computer wherein the handle/prop is pivotally mounted to opposite side edges of the computer. The handle/prop can be pivoted and locked into a plurality of different positions. In particular, these positions are selected to facilitate carrying the computer, supporting the computer on a flat surface in one or more inclined positions for writing and/or viewing, and holding the computer during writing. A ratchet locking mechanism is provided for locking the handle/prop into the plurality of different positions. This ratchet locking mechanism includes first and second release buttons located at points where the handle/prop pivotally connects at opposite side edges of the computer. In addition, the ratchet locking mechanism includes a handle-tie piece extending through the interior of the computer to spring bias the release button into a locked position.

摘要： A processing architecture includes an object instantiation and interaction engine, an CUE interface, and remote processes to create, access, and process objects in a distributed manner. The CUE interface uses an interface wheel divided into portions denoted who, what, when, where, why, how, and now. Selection of a particular portion provides the user with control related to that portion. The interface is adaptable for use with a wide variety of machines, including computers, televisions, telephones, security systems, and automobiles. The wheel is implemented as a display on a video monitor or as a physical disk. Each portion of the wheel is assigned a color that serves as a mnemonic for that portion. A hierarchical network of engines provides distributed storage and access to data in conjunction with the CUE interface.
