摘要： A method and system that monitors movement of a wheel or slider included on a keyboard, and conveys information indicative of the movement and its direction to a host computing device to which the keyboard is coupled, using predefined scan codes or Universal Serial Bus (USB) data signal. State changes and the direction of rotation are detected as the wheel is rotated. Preferably, an elapsed time between state changes is compared to a set of threshold times, and the scan code representing the closest threshold time is selected. Alternatively, a scan code is transmitted that is indicative of the sign and magnitude of a threshold number corresponding to an accumulated number of state changes. The host computing device decodes the scan code or USB data for use in controlling a scroll distance, zoom, etc. as a function of the movement indicated by the scan code or USB data.

摘要： A device for detecting the position of a human finger or other object on a touch-sensitive scrolling pad. Dual independent oscillators may be used to generate two pulse trains at frequencies dependent upon the capacitance of two conductors resulting from the position of the finger on the conductors. The pulses from each oscillator may be counted over a time interval. A ratio-metric measurement may be taken by calculating the ratio of the two counts, and a sum may also be calculated. The ratio of the two counts relates to finger position on the device, and their sum relates to finger pressure upon the device.

摘要： A keyboard selectively operable to convey data to and from a host or personal computer (PC) through a universal serial bus (USB) port and/or a personal system/2 (PS/2) port. The keyboard is preferably connected to both the USB port and PS/2 port on the host or PC, if available. Preference is given to communicating data from the keyboard to the host or PC through the PS/2 port. However, if the PS/2 port is unavailable, not connected, or inoperative, the keyboard data are communicated to the host or PC through the USB port (assuming that it is available, operative, and connected). As soon as the PS/2 port on the host or PC is again connected to the keyboard, such data will again be communicated through the PS/2 port. In addition, the keyboard includes auxiliary USB ports to which USB-capable peripheral devices can be connected. USB data can then be communicated between the PC and the USB-capable peripheral devices via the keyboard and its connection to the USB port on the host or PC. Power supplied from the PS/2 port on the host or PC is monitored to determine whether that port is connected to the keyboard, and in response, to cause data arising from the user actuating keys on the keyboard to be supplied to the host or PC through the PS/2 port.
摘要翻译：键盘，其可选择性地操作以通过通用串行总线（USB）端口和/或个人系统/ 2（PS / 2）端口向主机或个人计算机（PC）传送数据。键盘优选连接到主机或PC上的USB端口和PS / 2端口（如果有的话）。优先考虑通过PS / 2端口将数据从键盘传送到主机或PC。然而，如果PS / 2端口不可用，未连接或不起作用，则键盘数据通过USB端口传送到主机或PC（假设它可用，可操作和连接）。一旦主机或PC上的PS / 2端口再次连接到键盘，这些数据将再次通过PS / 2端口传送。此外，键盘还包括可连接USB功能的外围设备的辅助USB端口。然后可以通过键盘和PC与主机或PC上的USB端口的连接，在PC和支持USB的外围设备之间传送USB数据。监视从主机或PC上的PS / 2端口供电的电源，以确定该端口是否连接到键盘，并且作为响应，将由键盘上的用户启动键产生的数据提供给主机或PC 通过PS / 2端口。

摘要： A peripheral device is connectable to a computer having one of a first interface and a second interface. The first interface communicates with the peripheral device over a differential data connection having a first data conductor and a second data conductor. The second interface communicates with the peripheral device over a clock conductor and a single ended data connection which includes a data conductor. The peripheral device has first and second communication conductors configured for connection to the first and second data conductors in the differential data connection when the computer includes the first interface and is configured for connection to the first data conductor in the single ended data connection and the clock conductor when the computer is provided with the second interface. The peripheral device includes an interface detection component coupled to the first and second communication conductors and configured to detect which of the first and second interfaces the peripheral device is connected to. The peripheral device also includes a controller component configured to communicate between the peripheral device according to a protocol corresponding to the detected interface.

摘要： Architecture for enabling continuous operation of a control command issued by a control input (e.g., a control key on a computer keyboard or game controller). For example, for a user of a software application (e.g., a gaming application), an activation modifier is used for enabling continuous operation of the control command. The activation modifier can be a lock key or other type of input used in combination with the control key. During continuous operation of the control command, one or more alternate control inputs (e.g., from alternate control keys) are enabled to concurrently issue alternate control commands to the software application.

摘要： Use of a biometric identification device in a client computer system to subsequently access an authentication system includes receiving biometric sample data which is digitally signed and combining the data with a user ID and PIN. This package of data is then securely transmitted to a biometric matching server to validate the user and the biometric sample. Once validated, the biometric matching server return the data package plus a temporary certificate and a public/private key pair to the client computer. The client computer may then use this information to access an authentication system to subsequently gain access to a secure resource.

摘要： An input device having a pointing mode and a joystick mode is disclosed. The input device includes a housing, a tracking assembly, and at least one actuator. In some aspects of the invention, a controller is located within the housing to receive input from the tracking assembly and the actuator, and the controller transmits a pointing device recognition signal and a joystick device recognition signal to a host upon connection of the input device to the host. In another aspect of the invention, the actuator may be utilized to switch between a repeat and center mode, wherein the input device repeats a joystick signal when in the pointing mode and the hold mode. Additional aspects of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and computer-readable media with computer executable instructions.
