Abstract: Provided is a personal communications device having a touch sensitive display screen, in which text may be marked by a user to be used with different applications. In particular, to begin marking, a user has to maintain his touch at a location on the screen for a short predetermined period of time until the system detects that the position is held over the same character for a delayed period, at which time the system beeps to provide an indication that there has been a change of operation mode. The marking mode continues in operation until the user removes his contact from the touch screen. Thus, text over which the contact point passes after the initiation of the marking mode is marked, until the user removes his contact point from the touch screen. A second beep is sounded to alert the user of the termination of the marking mode, and the appearance of a menu of operations on the screen. The menu of operations echoes the marked text for user confirmation. The marked text may be used by the user in a number of applications, among which include a calling application whereby the marked text is used to place a call.

Abstract: The present off/on delay circuit operates within the power supply of a microcomputer system to interrupt transfer of regulated DC voltage to the system microcomputer and attachments in respect to indications of power disturbance and system switch status produced in the supply. Upon termination of such indications, this circuit selectively delays reappearance of regulated DC voltage to the level required for system operation so that whenever the microcomputer resets, the attachments must also reset; thereby preventing lockout impasses in the system rebooting process. The circuit operates in response to a plurality of DC voltage indications in the power supply, including at least an indication distinguishing the state of AC source power as either good or bad, and an indication distinguishing the state of a manually operable system power switch as either on or off. In one embodiment, the delay in reappearance of regulated DC operating voltage is chosen to be either relatively fast or slow depending upon how long the system operating voltage has been deactivated. Thus, the slow delay is chosen so as to effectively lengthen the effects of short duration outages or disturbances sufficiently to preclude lockout.
