The user can provide further inputs via facial gestures, voice or combinations thereof for executing the various tasks.

Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a display includes a housing comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The second surface comprises a transparent material covering the second surface and the housing includes two or more microphone ports disposed along a parting line between the first surface and the second surface exterior to the transparent material. The housing further includes two or more microphones coupled with the two or more microphone ports. A microphone signal processing system may be utilize to increase directional sensitivity of the two more microphones toward an audio source. An angle detector to detect an angle of the may be utilized to accommodate the directional sensitivity provided by the microphone signal processing system.

Abstract: A number game in which the object is to match a player's score to a target number, including a playing surface with a plurality of numbers therein and operators on the outside of the playing surface which includes at least one moveable playing piece. Whenever a playing piece is moved to one of the numbers on the playing surface, the player's score is changed based on that number and according to the mathematical function of the operator towards which the playing piece was moved. One embodiment of the invention is a word game in which each of the numbers on the playing surface has an associated letter. Movement of the playing piece from number to number in this version of the game necessarily also means movement of the playing piece to the number's associated letter. Each single play consists of a single continuous movement of the playing piece from letter to letter in an attempt to form a word. A temporary score is tabulated for each single play.
