Abstract: One of the problems facing the designers of an electronic display and data processing apparatus is how to allow the user to perform various page management functions to, e.g. text or graphic documents, residing in the system. Examples of such functions are deleting a page or retrieving it from storage or moving it from one location to another or storing it for easy later retrieval. A particularly user friendly arrangement of an electronic display and a data processing apparatus includes a computer for storing data, and a display operable to be controlled by the computer to display a representation of a ring binder including at least one ring whereby when the user selects the ring of the ring binder the ring opens or closes.

Abstract: An electronic personal organizer that electronically displays graphics representative of pages of a loose-leaf booklet or binder arranged into various sections on a display screen, including user selectable operational modes allowing input and storage of user generated graphics, notes, addresses, messages, etc. onto the representative pages. User input to the organizer is accomplished through a stylus ad an input tablet or transducer pad sensitive to pressure or position of the stylus, the organizer including a microprocessor for controlling the organizer, permanent and temporary internal memory along with external interfaces for connection with additional storage devices, printers, or other dumb or smart peripheral devices.
