    Abstract: A battery charge controller and fuel gauge which accurately monitors the voltage, temperature, and charge and discharge current of a rechargeable battery, and calculates the battery's charge capacity and charge level. Each time the battery is fully discharged, any calculated charge level remaining is divided by two and subtracted from the previously calculated charge capacity. When the battery is fully charged, the charge level is set equal to the charge capacity. During subsequent charge and discharge, the current is converted to a coulomb count and added or subtracted from the charge level to maintain an accurate charge level. Fast charge inefficiency due to temperature is considered by subtracting a temperature proportional factor before the charge level of the battery is updated. The charge level, voltage and temperature are used to determine the optimal fast charge termination point to achieve full charge and prevent temperature abuse and overcharge. A fast charge is applied only if the battery is within proper voltage and temperature ranges. The charge controller includes a microcontroller circuit within the same battery pack as the battery, which is powered by the battery when AC power is unavailable. The microcontroller circuit consumes very little power, measures circuit errors to assure data accuracy, times periods of self-discharge and updates the charge level accordingly. The microcontroller circuit also includes memory to store the battery charge information and a communication port to provide the charge information to a computer system connected to the battery pack.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically execute launching for computer application without interposing a user, by reading initialization information and by using the initialization information in relation to launching information stored in a computer. SOLUTION: The computer application 60 stored in a storage medium 24 is automatically launched. The initialization information expressed according to a definition-finished syntax is stored in the storage medium 24. The "launching" information enough to launch the application 60 onto the computer, while linked with the initialization information, is stored in the computer. The application 60 is automatically launched without interposing the user, by reading the initialization information and by using the initialization information in relation with the launching information stored in the computer. The application 60 can be used by popping easily into the distribution medium 24 by a user who has very poor knowledge about the computer. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

    Abstract: KEYBOARD ACTIVATED SCREEN BLANKING A keyboard controller which scans entered input sequences for an input sequence to activate a display blanking feature. A password and particular hot key are loaded by the system microprocessor. The keyboard controller then scans until the designated sequence is activated. The display on the monitor is blanked until a password sequence is entered. The password mode may be directly activated on command from the system microprocessor. The display blanking feature is especially useful in conjunction with a keyboard password lock.

    Abstract: A computer application stored on a storage medium (e.g., a portable storage medium such as a compact disk) is automatically launched. Initialization information expressed in accordance with a predefined syntax is stored on the storage medium. Also stored in the computer is "launching" information sufficient, together with the initialization information, to enable the computer to launch the application. The application is automatically launched, without user intervention, by reading the initialization information and using it in connection with the launching information stored in the computer.

    Abstract: A user interface of simplifying selection of speaker volume level and power cons ervation level in a computer system. An icon is presented for setting the speaker volume which includes a bar graph of r elative speaker volume. By depressing left or right arrow keys the graph moves and the volume level of the speaker is changed. By de pressing the down arrow key when setting the volume level, the speaker is beeped to allow for a level check during the settin g process. A series of icons are used to indicate and select power conservation level. Each icon includes a battery with a faucet atta ched to the side of the battery. Different water flow rates indicate the various conservation levels. A human figure is located adjace nt the faucet to indicate the user-customerized conservation level.

    Abstract: PERSONAL COMPUTER WITH KEYBOARD AND AUXILIARY DEVICE EMULATION A computer system which provides emulation routines that cause a keyboard or mouse to appear present to the system software even when the devices are not physically installed. On system start up, this allows installation of appropriate device drivers by the operating system. If a keyboard or mouse is later installed, the emulation responses are discontinued, and a keyboard and mouse operate normally. When the system is placed in a standby state, the keyboard and mouse connectors are totally powered down. Before this power down, the BIOS routines save the configuration state of the keyboard and mouse as recorded by the emulation routines, which have been tracking commands sent to those devices even when those devices are operating. When power is reenabled to the keyboard and mouse connectors, the configuration of those devices is restored from that saved configuration data. Further, the system detects whether a keyboard or mouse is installed on a particular connector, and appropriately maps the keyboard and auxiliary ports to correspond to that connector.
