Abstract: This invention describes a workpad (10) that serves as both an input and an output (I/O) device for a data processing system (60). More particularly, the invention relates to a flat display device (18) combined with a touch panel (16) and button switches (30 - 33) which provide preferably a generally horizontal viewing and work surface, the button switches being program interpretable and usable to emulate the operation of mouse buttons, function keys and the like. A single cable (56) connects workpad (10) with computer (60).

Abstract: A portable paperless parcel tracking system capable of reading bar codes on packages, capturing signatures and alphanumeric data related to the parcels when entered into a touch panel display, disabling manual or finger touch entry when a stylus is near the surface of the display, storing the parcel related data electronically and transmitting the data to a host at a convenient time.
