Abstract: A system and method for the selection and execution of a profile. The system and method comprise a data store capable of storing profiles, a user console allowing interaction between a user and a multifunction device, a communication interface adapted to allow communication via at least one communication channel and a processor in communication with the communication interface, the data store and the user console. The processor receives a profile from a profile source via the communication interface, stores the received profile in the data store, receives an indicator corresponding to a selected profile and executes the selected profile to perform an operation of the multifunction device.

Abstract: A graphical interface for a multifunction device that comprises a touch sensitive display, a system processor and a system data store. The touch sensitive display is capable of displaying graphical objects from a layer within a hierarchy of graphical objects that are representative of multifunction device operatives and of recognizing a selection of a graphical object by a user. The system processor is capable of causing a multifunction device to perform a particular operation in response to a selection of a graphical object representing that operation.

Abstract: A current-drive circuit (FIG. 1) is provided to drive each of forty electrodes 41. Voltage at the electrodes 41 is monitored on line 49 as a control-input to a voltage-regulator circuit (FIG. 2), to produce the drive voltage Vdr. Vdr minus a current-level reference Vlev is applied as the input of a differential amplifier (transistors 3, 15, 51 and 53), thereby applying Vdr-Vlev on line 27. A constant current through the electrode 41 is produced across register 25. As the lowest voltage at all driven electrodes shifts, the regulator circuit (FIG. 2) shifts Vdr the same amount, employing differentially connected transistors 72 and 74, and Zener 120 to set the level of Vdr. Since most of the active elements operated within narrow limits, the circuit can be extensively miniaturized.
