    Abstract: A method and apparatus allows users to quickly effect a modal change in an appliance, such as home theatre personal computer, having first and second modes. The apparatus captures a user actuation indicative of a modal change. The user actuation may be a mouse button closure, a keyboard button closure, or a remote control button closure. Upon detecting the user actuation indicative of a modal change, the apparatus detects the current mode for the appliance. Based on the current mode of the appliance, the apparatus cycles to the next mode in a round-robin basis and sets the next mode to become the current mode for the appliance. Further, in setting the next mode, the apparatus displays the next mode of the appliance as a mode change item in a menu list. The apparatus also then requests a second user actuation confirming a modal change. Further, in the event that the user confirms the modal change, the apparatus sets the next mode of the appliance to be the current mode for the appliance and maximizes the window associated with the mode of the appliance.

    Abstract: A computer system comprising a computer operable in a computer mode for receiving and transmitting computer information, a television mode for receiving and transmitting television information, and a combination computer/television mode for receiving and transmitting computer and television information. A display is operably associated with the computer for displaying the computer information in the computer mode, the television information in the television mode, and the computer and television information in the computer/television mode. The computer system also comprises at least one television window displayed on the display for displaying the television information, at least one computer window displayed on the display for displaying the computer information, a computer focus for the computer window to control the computer information, and a television focus for the television window to control the television information independently of the computer focus.

    Abstract: A system for scanning data into a host from a peripheral location. A peripheral, such as a multifunction peripheral having printer and scanner functionality, is coupled to a host, such as a personal computer. The system includes a user interface at the peripheral that can be utilized in selecting a desired target, such as an application or file, at the host. The peripheral user interface also can be used to select a networked site, such as a networked file. Thus, a user can scan desired data at the peripheral to a remote application or file without providing input at the user interface of the host.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for recovering "break" codes transmitted by a keyboard that are not properly received by the receiver of the computer system. The keyboard is an infrared keyboard that transmits to a receiver in the computer system "make" codes when the keys are depressed and transmits to the receiver "break" codes when the keys are released. Upon receipt of the "make" and "break" codes, the receiver keeps track of the status of each of the keys, i.e., depressed or released, by updating a database in response to receipt of the "make" and "break" codes. At select time intervals, the keyboard transmits to the receiver an "idle" code containing data corresponding to the status of each key. Upon receipt ofthe "idle" code, the receiver compares the "idle" code with the status of each key as indicated by the data base. The receiver then generates a "break" code for each of the keys that do not compare.
