International Classification:

G06F 3/0488

US Classification:

345169

Abstract:

Embodiments of a soft input panel (SIP) for an electronic device are disclosed. The SIP can be configured for entering text in a non-English language that uses a more numerous character set than does English. The characters used in the language that are available to be entered using the SIP can be available to be entered using keys on a single page of keys without switching to a different page of keys or using function keys. At least one of the keys of the SIP is a base key that is configured to open a picker window when activated. The picker window comprises plural picker keys that allow a user to select from plural different characters associated with the base key.

H03K 337
H03K 1986

US Classification:

3072722

Abstract:

A circuit is described for functioning as a transparent latch, a latch where the data is determined by the state of a data signal at the time a signal changes state, a D-type flip-flop, and a scan path element. The mode of operation of the circuit is determined by the condition of respective ones of a set of control signals.

International Classification:

G06F 3/06
G06F 17/24

Abstract:

A facility for processing textual input generated with a user input device described. In one example facility, the facility stores the textual input in a first data structure contained in the address space of a first process. The facility synchronizes contents of the first data structure to a second data structure contained in the address space of a second process distinct from the first process, an application executing in the second process being configured to consume textual input synchronized to the second data structure.
