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: In a loop-structured communication system interconnecting a plurality of data processors (8 ...13) without central controller, stations (2 ...7) are provided comprising modems (20) which can start loop operation and achieve synchronous frame transmission around the loop through all participating stations. In an initialization procedure after system start or after loss of frame synchronization on the loop, modems select a temporary master station. The temporary master will adapt total loop delay to be an integer multiple of the basic frame period, and will transmit available frames. All active modems adapt their timing to the circulating stream of frames until the whole loop and all participating stations are synchronized. Synchronization conditions are continuously monitored in all stations to start resynchronization or initialization procedures if necessary. In a specific arrangement, the location of a loop failure which prevents establishment of synchronization can be determined. All initialization and synchronization operations are handled by the modems without participation by other functional units or by the host processing system of any station.
