Integrated handheld computing and telephony system and services

Disclosed is an integrated handheld computer and telephony system. Integration of the handheld computer and telephony system is at the physical and operational level. For example, the integrated handheld computer and telephony system physically integrates a handheld computer with a mobile (e.g., cellular) telephone. In addition, the handheld computer is distinct from telephony system in that they are logically separable. However, they are also operationally integrated, for example, the telephony system executes a telephone application on the processor of the handheld computer. Likewise, the handheld computer can execute applications, for example, a phone book, that can be used to launch the telephony application.

System and method for continuous delivery schedule including automated customer notification

A system and method for continuously monitoring and updating delivery schedules based on completed deliveries and customer modifications. A delivery scheduling computer stores and updates delivery schedule information, notifying the customer prior to a scheduled delivery of an estimated time of delivery. The notification is made to a customer's PC, browser-based client, hand-held computer or set-top box, or by conventional communication methods such as a telephone, pager, or cellular phone. If the customer desires to change the time or location of the delivery, the customer transmits a delivery change request and the schedule is modified accordingly. Employees use a hand-held computer or a browser-based client to receive updated delivery schedule information, as well as to transmit a delivery completion message to the delivery scheduling computer. The message includes an actual delivery time which the delivery scheduling computer uses to update the estimated delivery times of the remaining deliveries.

Telecommunications adapter providing non-repudiable communications log and supplemental power for a portable programmable device

A portable adapter that provides non-repudiable telecommunications services to bar-code reading hand-held computers and palm-top or tablet-type mobile computers is disclosed. The adapter provides supplemental power supply and processing capacity that supports API communications functions, such as interactive voice recognition, conference calling, data encryption, VoIP packetization and other signal-format conversions that are not implemented on mobile computers. In particular, the device automatically logs IP packet identifiers and DOV dialing and status signals, without the user having access to edit this information, thereby providing a "non-repudiation" record of all communications. The adapter also supports intensive use of the host computer's serial port by supplementing the power available from the host computer's battery, or replacing that battery with a connector. For plant inspection and inventory auditing, ground-based cellular communications are implemented for supporting on-site work, including conference calling to discuss apparent pilferage or imminent safety hazards, and removable WORM recording media for documenting these discussions. For repair shop use, a standard phone jack or 10-base-T connector allows the device to upload engine test-data, with reports or estimates dictated by the mechanic to the repair shop's LAN server. For hospital use, the device includes removable WORM media for logging patient test results and examination reports. The hospital device also uses a dedicated local-area RF or IR transmitter, with location-specific encryption, to protect the privacy of lab reports received by the device, and to limit use of these devices to hospital's own premises.

Electronic document delivery system employing distributed document object model (DOM) based transcoding and providing interactive javascript support

Several different embodiments of an electronic document delivery system are described including a client machine (e.g., a palmtop / handheld computer or wireless communication device) coupled to a transcoder proxy. One embodiment of the system allows a client machine with limited resources to support JAVASCRIPT. The transcoder proxy receives an electronic document in a first digital format (e.g., HTML or XML). A JAVASCRIPT event may be associated with an element of the document including JAVASCRIPT code executed in response to the JAVASCRIPT event. The transcoder proxy assigns a unique identifier to the element, and forms a model of a logical structure of the document (e.g., a document object model or DOM). The transcoder proxy uses the model to produce an “original” script including a portion of the document expressed in a second digital format (e.g., a scripting language), and provides the original script to the client machine. The client machine uses the original script to display / present the document portion. The client machine associates the JAVASCRIPT event with the element identifier, generates the JAVASCRIPT event in response to user input, and provides JAVASCRIPT event information and the associated identifier to the transcoder proxy. The transcoder proxy accesses the element within the model using the identifier, executes the JAVASCRIPT code producing a result, uses the model and the result to produce a “modification” script, and provides the modification script to the client machine. The client machine uses the modification script to modify the displayed / presented portion of the document.

Portable computer with differentiated time-out feature

Embodiments of the invention provide for operating a handheld computer with multiple time-out periods in a manner that is more efficient and effective for conserving power than previous systems. In an embodiment, the handheld computer implements one or more additional time-out periods by identifying an occurrence of an event that requires the handheld computer to be in the high power state to perform a specific function. An event may include a function such as sounding an alarm, although other events are also encompassed by embodiments of this invention. When an event is identified, the power state of the handheld computer prior to identifying the event is recalled. The handheld computer then implements a time-out period based on its previous power state. In one embodiment, if the handheld computer was in a low-power state prior to the event occurring, the time-out period is shortened.

Hand held computer device

The invention is a hand held computer device having a housing including a top or upper surface, a lower surface and finger saddle ridge protruding downwardly from the lower surface. The finger saddle ridge has two finger receiving surfaces and is sized to accommodate a pair of human fingers such that a first finger contacts the front surface of the finger saddle and a second finger contacts the rear surface of the finger saddle. When an operator's fingers straddle the finger saddle ridge, the hand held computer device pivots about a pivot point defined between the fingers. The device can thus be readily maneuvered into a downward pivoting position, highly useful for decoding bar codes, and an upward pivoting position, highly useful for display viewing and applications involving display viewing such as web browsing and data input.

Using a first device to engage in a digital rights management transaction on behalf of a second device

A first device is used to initiate and direct a rights-management transaction, such as content licensing, acquisition, or activation, on behalf of a second device. The first device may, for example, be a desktop computer, laptop computer, or electronic kiosk at a bricks-and-mortar store. The second device may, for example, be a handheld computer that is cradled to establish communicative connectivity with the first device. A user interacts with the first device to initiate a transaction on behalf of the second device. The first device then obtains the information from the second device that is necessary to perform the transaction on behalf of the second device, communicates with a server, and provides the result of the server communication to the first device. Thus, the first device acts as a proxy for the second device.
