Abstract: A system includes an electronic display to display a virtual keyboard and a processor communicatively coupled to the electronic display. In some embodiments, the virtual keyboard includes a plurality of keys. In certain embodiments, the electronic display receives a first string of erased characters and a second string of replacement characters. In certain embodiments, the processor compares the first string and the second string to determine a difference at corresponding character locations of the first string and the second string. In some embodiments, the processor increments a counter based on the comparison, the counter corresponding to a first character of the first string and a second character of the second string. In certain embodiments, the processor adjusts at least one of the plurality of keys of the virtual keyboard in response to the counter meeting a threshold.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a waveguide stack and associated segmented illumination display. The waveguide stack includes a number of waveguides stacked into an array to direct light from light emitting diode (LED) edge lights to a liquid crystal display (LCD) of a segmented illumination display. The waveguides are stacked with light inhibiting material between the waveguides to inhibit light transmitting through one waveguide from communicating to a second waveguide.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for providing illumination of a display. In an embodiment, a light guide includes a first portion to receive light, a second portion to output some or all of the light, and a third portion configured to propagate the light between the first portion and the second portion. The third portion forms a first deflection structure which adjoins, and extends between, respective surface regions of the first portion and the second portion. A light source is coupled to provide edgewise illumination of the light guide via the first portion. In another embodiment, the light propagates through the third portion and into a region, between two parallel planes, in which the second portion is located.

Abstract: Embodiments of apparatus, computer-implemented methods, systems, and computer-readable media are described herein for wirelessly transferring communication roles between devices, using technology such as near field communications (“NFC”), optical communication (e.g., barcodes), BlueTooth and so forth. In various embodiments, a first device may transfer, from the first device to a second device using near field communication, data used by the first device to communicate with a third device, to cause the second device to initiate communication with the third device based on the data. Likewise, in various embodiments, a first device may receive, from a second device using NFC, data used by the second device to communicate with a third device, and to initiate communication with the third device based on the received data.

Abstract: An indication from a device is received through a network. Upon a determination from the indication that the device is in a state in which a first system has not been loaded on the device, the device is instructed through the network to load the first system. Upon receiving through the network from the device an indication that the first system has been loaded, it is indicated through a (possibly remote) user interface that the device is in an “available” state in which the device is available to load an operating system selectable through the user interface. In one embodiment, upon a selection of an operating system, the device is instructed through the network to load the operating system. Upon receiving through the network from the device an indication that the operating system has been loaded, it is indicated through the user interface that the device is in a “provisioned” state in which an operating system has been loaded for the device.
