  • Digital feedback display panel for communicating computer status information
    Patent number: 6720983
    Abstract: A personal computer system provides a digital feedback display panel and supporting software to provide digital computer status feedback for a user.

The display feedback can take the form of status icons and blinking text messages displayed on the digital feedback display panel. Examples of status conditions of the computer system which can be communicated to the user include (i) a connection state of a peripheral device to the computer system, (ii) the computer system is connected to the Internet, (iii) an indication of how many unread e-mails for the computer system are available, and (iv) network time for a server coupled to the computer system.
