    Abstract: The present application is related to a computer for providing output to a user. The computer includes a processor and an input device in communication with the processor. The input device includes a feedback surface and at least one sensor in communication with the feedback surface, the at least one sensor configured to detect a user input to the feedback surface. The processor varies a down-stroke threshold based on a first factor and varies an up-stroke threshold based on a second factor. The down-stroke threshold determines a first output of the computing device, the up-stroke threshold determines a second output of the computing device, and at least one of the first factor or the second factor are determined based on the user input.

    Abstract: Electronic devices may use touch pads that have touch sensor arrays, force sensors, and actuators for providing tactile feedback. A touch pad may be mounted in a computer housing. The touch pad may have a rectangular planar touch pad member that has a glass layer covered with ink and contains a capacitive touch sensor array. Force sensors may be mounted under each of the four corners of the rectangular planar touch pad member. The force sensors may be used to measure how much force is applied to the surface of the planar touch pad member by a user. Processed force sensor signals may indicate the presence of button activity such as press and release events. In response to detected button activity or other activity in the device, actuator drive signals may be generated for controlling the actuator. The user may supply settings to adjust signal processing and tactile feedback parameters.

    Abstract: Los dispositivos electrónicos inalámbricos, tales como los teléfonos celulares, pueden comunicarse con equipo de computación, tales como servidores, a través de una red. Las llamadas telefónicas de voz pueden direccionarse a través de enlaces para transmisión de voz en una red para voz y los datos pueden transmitirse a través de enlaces para transmisión de datos en una red de datos. La red para voz puede formarse al utilizar la red de telefonía conmutada pública. La red de datos puede formarse al utilizar la Internet. Las estaciones celulares base pueden formar enlaces inalámbricos con los dispositivos inalámbricos. Un servidor puede almacenar información sobre la dirección de protocolo de internet actual de un usuario del dispositivo inalámbrico. El usuario puede hacer una llamada telefónica de voz a una empresa. En respuesta a recibir la llamada telefónica de voz, un servidor puede transmitir automáticamente información, tal como páginas en red u otros datos que incluyen opciones interactivas en pantalla, al dispositivo inalámbrico al utilizar la dirección de protocolo de internet actual del dispositivo.

    Abstract: Wireless electronic devices such as cellular telephones may communicate with computing equipment such as servers over a network. Voice telephone calls may be routed over voice links in a voice network and data may be conveyed over data links in a data network. The voice network may be formed using the public switched telephone network. The data network may be formed using the Internet. Cellular base stations may form wireless links with the wireless devices. A server may store information on the current internet protocol address of a wireless device user. The user may place a voice telephone call to an organization. In response to receiving the voice telephone call, a server may automatically transmit information such as web pages or other data that includes interactive on-screen options to the wireless device using the current internet protocol address of the device.
