Abstract: Facilitating digital writing on a tablet screen includes providing a viewing screen corresponding to the tablet screen, superimposing on the viewing screen an authoring screen for a user to provide digital writing, the authoring screen being a magnified portion of the viewing screen, showing a mapping portion on the viewing screen, where the mapping portion corresponds to the portion of the viewing screen being magnified into the authoring screen, and projecting on to the viewing screen writing entered by the user in the authoring screen. The authoring screen is semi-transparent and writing and the mapping portion on the viewing screen are viewable through the authoring screen. The authoring screen may be superimposed over an entirety of the viewing screen. Writing provided on the viewing screen may be presented as faded strokes. A user may pan the authoring screen to facilitate entering writing into different parts of the viewing screen.

Abstract: Apparatus and system for configuring a wireless bridge for a computing device such as a game console. The wireless bridge must include a key (not known to the public) employed in producing a digest. The digest is passed to the game console to authenticate that the wireless bridge is compatible and can thus be configured by the game console. Once the wireless bridge proves its compatibility, a configuration procedure included in an operating system on the game console configures the wireless bridge to connect to a wireless network so that the game console can communicate through the wireless bridge with a gaming site that is accessed over the Internet. The configuration is done without using a web browser program or a configuration program that is specific to a particular model and manufacturer of the wireless bridge.
