An example mobile computing device includes a display, a housing coupled to the display, and a graphical indicator. The housing includes a chamber, an antenna to communicate with a wireless network, and an exterior antenna region. The graphical indicator identifies the exterior antenna region on the housing and a signal strength of a connection to the wireless network.

System and method for obtaining and recording information about cargo includes a frame defining a cargo-receivable compartment, a position determining system at least partly on the frame and that allows for determination of position of the frame, an identification system on the frame that obtains information about cargo when present in the compartment, a memory component that receives and records information about position and movement of the frame, and the obtained information about cargo when present in the compartment in association with a unique identification of the frame, and a communications system on the frame to enable communication of information to and from the memory component.

A combination computing device and input device. The computing device provides a plurality of sides. The input device providing a structural bridge, a pair of control modules, and a touch sensitive input module attached to the back side of the input device. The pair of control modules: confine the computing device on at least two opposing sides of the plurality of sides; adaptively and snugly accommodate the width of the computing device else a second computing device, the second computing device having a width greater than the width of the computing device; adaptively and snugly, accommodate the length of either the computing device, or the second computing device, the second computing device having a length greater than the length of the computing device; and a keyboard module integrated within at least one of the control modules, the keyboard module configured to provide full keyboard functionality.

A keyboard gesture instruction generating method includes: loading an instruction condition definition table, where the instruction condition definition table includes a plurality of gesture instructions, and each gesture instruction includes a plurality of instruction conditions, and each instruction condition has a corresponding defined value; reading an operating position image obtained by a sensor; converting the operating position image into an operating position data, where the operating position data includes relative position data of keys which are referenced; recognizing a gesture event according to multiple sets of the successive operating position data; obtaining a plurality of detected values of the gesture event and comparing the detected values with these defined values; if these detected values match with the defined values of all the instruction conditions of one of the gesture instructions, stopping tracking of the gesture event; and executing the matching gesture instruction.

A combination computing device and input device. The computing device provides a plurality of sides. The input device providing a structural bridge, a pair of control modules, a touch sensitive input module attached to the back side of the input device, and a transactional input device. The pair of control modules: confine the computing device on at least two opposing sides of the plurality of sides; adaptively and snugly accommodate the width of the computing device else a second computing device, the second computing device having a width greater than the width of the computing device; adaptively and snugly, accommodate the length of either the computing device, or the second computing device, the second computing device having a length greater than the length of the computing device. Transactional input device integrated within at least one of the of control modules, and configured to provide point of sale input functionality.

A keyboard device includes a base, a plurality of keys, a light source module, a first sensor, a second sensor, and a control module. An ambient luminance of the plurality of keys is detected by using the first sensor. When the ambient luminance is less than an ambient luminance at which the second sensor can capture a required image, the control module turns on the light source module to provide a light source for the plurality of keys to improve the ambient luminance, so that the second sensor to can clearly capture the required image and obtain the required data by means of analysis.

An assemblable keyboard includes plural assemblable keys and a main control key. Each assemblable key can be triggered to generate a key signal. The assemblable key includes a pedestal, a key structure and a conductive structure. The main control key includes a key processor and a transmission interface. The assemblable key includes plural coupling structures with the conductive structure. Every two adjacent assemblable keys are combined together and electrically connected with each other through the corresponding coupling structures. After the key signal generated by each assemblable key is transmitted to the main control key, the key signal is further outputted to a computer host. The layout space of the assemblable keyboard is reduced. Moreover, the assembling flexibility of the keyboard is enhanced.

A keyboard device includes a keyboard body including a plurality of keys. A projector is disposed in the keyboard body for receiving and transforming an image signal into a projection frame, and projecting the projection frame on a projection plane. A vibration sensor is disposed in the keyboard body, and generates a vibration signal in response to a vibration of the keyboard body. A microprocessor is in communication with the vibration sensor and the projector, dynamically adjusts the image signal according to the vibration signal, and outputs the adjusted image signal to the projector to generate the projection frame corresponding to the adjusted image signal. The shaking problem of the projection frame can thus be ameliorated.

A vehicle including a wireless communication processor configured to provide wireless communication; a keypad; a display unit configured to display a character corresponding to a key input through the keypad; and a controller configured to activate the keypad when information related to a driving of the vehicle satisfies a preset condition, and deactivate the keypad when the information related to the driving of the vehicle does not satisfy the preset condition.

In dynamically adjusting a keyboard mapping, a collaborative session in which a participant device is involved is detected. A conversation between participants during the collaborative session is captured, and topics being discussed during the conversation are identified using textual analysis. The topics are compared with a plurality of rules, each of which associates a topic with a keyboard mapping. From the rule that has a topic matching the identified topics, the keyboard mapping associated with the topic is obtained. The keyboard is then displayed using the keyboard mapping on the participant device. In determining the rule with the matching topic, a history of rules applied in prior collaborative session where the same or similar topics were discussed, or a profile of a participant, is considered. In this manner, keyboard mappings are dynamically adjusted, allowing for easier access to relevant keys.
