Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for dynamically labeling touch sensitive buttons in a digitizing display. The display is partitioned into a main panel display region and a button panel display region. A touch overlay is also partitioned into a main panel touch region and a main panel display region. A button panel driver program defines button touch areas and button display areas enabling the dynamic labeling and relabeling of the touch sensitive buttons and the simultaneous touching of combinations of the buttons with either a touch input or a stylus input to the overlay.

Abstract: Improvements in the art of sensor and display technology now make the implementation of a workpad concept feasible. While prior art touch displays are acceptable for short, casual use tasks, they may not be feasible or suited for intensive use tasks. Recent improvements in the optical qualities (brightness, contrast, viewing cone) of flat panel displays, such as LCDs, allow implementing a touch screen for use in a horizontal orientation. This greatly improves the human factors for applications involving extensive pointing, drawing or writing.

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).
