Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to systems, apparatuses, and methods for the projection of images onto keycaps of a computer keyboard.

A programmable keyboard receiver adapted to perform a function on a computer when a key is pressed on a keyboard. The programmable keyboard receiver includes: a programmable keyboard receiver input that receives a keyboard key signal from the keyboard when the key is pressed; a programmable keyboard receiver processor that associates the keyboard key signal with a keystroke to type on the computer; a programmable keyboard receiver output that sends an output signal to the computer; and a processor that associates the keystroke with the function to perform on the computer.

In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, one or more methods, and/or one or more processes may provide, by a first application executed by an information handling system (IHS), configuration information to a keyboard; configure, by the keyboard, a display of the keyboard with a graphic based at least on the configuration information; receive, by the keyboard, first user input associated with the graphic; provide, by the keyboard, first keyboard information to the IHS; provide, by the IHS, the first keyboard information to a second application executed by the IHS; receive, by the first application, second user input; provide, by the first application, information based at least on the second user input to the keyboard; provide, by the keyboard to the IHS, second keyboard information based at least on the information; and provide, by the IHS, the second keyboard information to the second application.

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, an accessory having a plurality of tactile-sensitive buttons, a plurality of light sources, wherein each light source emits a controllable spectrum of light through a corresponding one of the plurality of tactile-sensitive buttons, and a controller coupled to the plurality of tactile-sensitive buttons, and the plurality of light sources. The controller can be operable to detect tactile contact of each of the plurality of tactile-sensitive buttons, receive status information associated with a video game, and adjust the spectrum of light emitted by at least a portion of the plurality of light sources according to the status information to indicate one or more aspects of the video game. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

Input or control device has a flat capacitively, or resistively, or inductively, or optically, or acoustically evaluated touch layer (2), which is continuously spread over the control zone (1), and also has a graphic layer (3) with a graphical representation of at least one button (4) and/or a key (5) and/or some other control element. Graphic layer (3) is adapted for removal and replacement with at least one different graphic layer, while the first graphic layer (31) and at least one other different graphic layer (32) have different number, and/or shape, and/or layout, and/or graphical representation of the button (4), and/or key (5), and/or some other control element. Evaluation unit (6) is interconnected with the touch layer (2) and is adjusted to the different evaluation of a touch, based on the current graphic layer (3). The graphic layer (3) can be located under or on top of the touch layer (2). For every graphic layer (3) has been assigned an interpretation definition, a map stored in the memory of the evaluation unit (6). The user of the controlled device can upload the interpretation definition into the device even later.

A wireless input output apparatus is disclosed. The wireless input output apparatus includes a first housing mechanically coupled to the wireless input output apparatus panel. The first housing is configured to house a plurality of input keys. Each of the plurality of input keys corresponds to one of a character, a letter, a number, a function, and a command. The wireless input output apparatus also includes a second housing mechanically coupled adjacent to the first housing and over the wireless input output apparatus panel. The second housing is configured to house a capacitive touch screen display for rendering visual information. The wireless input output apparatus may be tethered to computer, phone, laptop, tablet, and the like without interrupting workflow when receiving calls, texts, “DMs”, emails and the like.

A floating image generation device is disclosed, which includes a light source, an image generation module, and a floating image generation unit. The image generation module is disposed above the light source and includes a shading unit and an image generation unit. The shading unit is capable of changing light transmissivity state. The image generation unit is disposed above the shading unit. The floating image generation unit is disposed above the image generation unit. The light source emits a light passing through the shading unit, the image generation unit, and the floating image generation unit to generate a first floating image when the shading unit is in a first light transmissivity state. The light source emits a light passing through the shading unit, the image generation unit, and the floating image generation unit to generate a second floating image when the shading unit is in a second light transmissivity state.

A method for detecting and/or localizing keyboard accessibility failures (KAFs) in a web page is disclosed. A web page is rendered in a browser on a display portion of a computing system. A keyboard navigation flow graph based on based on keyboard-based navigation of a user with the web page. A second point-click navigation flow graph based on mouse-based navigation of the user with the web page. One or more KAFs are determined based on a comparison of the first graphical model with the second graphical model.

The present invention provides a display device, which includes a frame having an accommodating cavity and a display module disposed in the accommodating cavity. The display module includes a first light source, an optical unit, an imaging unit arranged on a side of the optical unit facing away from the first light source, and a lens array arranged on a side of the imaging unit facing away from the first light source. Corresponding to a preset pattern, light emitted by the first light source passes through the optical unit, the imaging unit and the lens array to form a default floating image in a floating display area outside the accommodating cavity. In addition, the present invention also provides a non-contact key and an input device including the above display module.

The disclosure provides a restart control device and a restart control method. The restart control device is disposed in an electronic device. The electronic device includes a keyboard and a restart button. At least one assigned key of a plurality of keys of the keyboard is set. The restart control device determines whether the at least one assigned key is pressed, and determines whether the restart button is pressed. When determining that the restart button is pressed and the at least one assigned key is pressed, the restart control device provides a restart control signal to cause the electronic device to perform a restart operation. The disclosure can prevent an unnecessary restart operation due to a single restart button being mistyped.
