Patent number: 8129939Abstract: An approach is provided that determines whether keyboard power connection points included in a wireless keyboard are connected to system power connection points in a computer system. Power is sent from the computer system to the wireless keyboard. The power is transmitted through the system power connection points to the keyboard power connection points. Keyboard components included in the wireless keyboard are also powered using the power sent from the computer system. If the keyboard power connection points are not connected to the system power connection points, the keyboard components are powered included in the wireless keyboard by using a keyboard battery that is included in the wireless keyboard. One of the keyboard components that receives power is a wireless interface that connects the wireless keyboard to the computer system.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2008Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Howard Locker, Daryl Cromer, Qian Ying Wang

Patent number: 8089468Abstract: An approach is provided that identifies when a wireless keyboard unit is connected to an information handling system that includes a display screen that is partially blocked when the keyboard is attached. A determination is made as to the size of the visible portion of the display screen. Items are displayed on the visible portion of the display screen. The approach refrains from displaying items on the blocked portion of the display screen. The user is able to move the wireless keyboard, the movement of the keyboard resulting in a changed size of the visible portion of the display screen. After the keyboard is repositioned, the visual items are re-displayed on the visible portion of the display screen so that the items fit in the changed size of the visible portion of the display screen.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2008Date of Patent: January 3, 2012Assignee: Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Howard Locker, David Carroll Challener, Daryl Carvis Cromer, Qian Ying Wang

Patent number: 6972862Abstract: A portable fax machine includes a pen-based input device, having a writing pen and a writing pad, enabling a user to write documents for fax transmission on the writing pad by means of the writing pen. The input device is capable of generating data representative of the moving trace of the writing pen. An encoder transfers the data representative of the moving trace of the writing pen into fax data format. A dialer inputs the fax number of a destination to set up a connection. A fax transmission device transmits to the destination the data in the fax data format output by the encoder.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2001Date of Patent: December 6, 2005Assignee: International Business Machines Corp.Inventors: Donald T. Tang, Hui Su, Qian Ying Wang

Patent number: 6795579Abstract: A method for recognizing handwritten Chinese characters based on stroke recognition comprises steps of: recognizing handwritten strokes, updating stroke code sequences; retrieving in dictionaries/lexicons at least one corresponding character/phrase entry so as to obtain at least one candidate Chinese character/phrase; dynamically displaying the at least one candidate Chinese character/phrase; jumping to the step of recognizing strokes if it is judged that a next stroke is being written; inputting a displayed Chinese character/phrase into computers as the result of recognition if this character/phase is selected by the user.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2002Date of Patent: September 21, 2004Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Donald T. Tang, Hui Su, Qian Ying Wang

Patent number: 6665436Abstract: This invention discloses a method for automatically segmenting and recognizing Chinese character strings continuously written by a user in a handwritten Chinese character processing system, comprising the steps of: creating a geometry model and a language mode; finding out all of potential segmentation schemes in the Chinese character strings continuously written by a user based on the associated timing information and said geometry model; recognizing the groups of strokes as defined by each of potential segmentation schemes and computing the probability characterizing the exactness of recognition results; correcting the probability characterizing the exactness of recognition results by said language model; and, selecting the recognition result and the corresponding segmentation scheme having the maximum probability value.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2003Date of Patent: December 16, 2003Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Hui Su, Donald T. Tang, Qian Ying Wang
