Abstract: A digitizer tablet computer has a host processor connected to a service processor which, in turn, is connected to a digitizer controller and to a power subsystem microcontroller. A battery supplies the primary power for operating the computer but the computer is also connectable to an external source of DC power to charge the battery and to operate the computer when it is not running on battery power. The service processor includes a battery gauge the contents of which indicate how much power is left in the battery and how much time remains at the current rate of power consumption before the power runs out. The amount of remaining power in the gauge is determined by keeping track of power consumed, power added, and power lost during off periods. The use of the second derivative of a voltage versus time discharge curve creates a point from which relative accurate estimates can be made of how much longer the computer can be operated.

Abstract: A digitizer tablet computer has a host processor connected to a service processor which, in turn, is connected to a digitizer controller and to a power subsystem microcontroller whereby primary control of a keyboard, a digitizer, and a power subsystem is off loaded from the host processor to the service processor. The host processor communicates with the service processor through an interface comprising a status register, an input buffer and an output buffer through which host commands and data are transferred. The digitizer produces coordinate data that is initially processed in the service processor before being passed on to the host processor. The host processor is interrupted to receive the processed data and executes in a tight loop until a predetermined amount of processed data is received.
