Embodiments of the present invention provide for synchronizing contact and calendar information between a handset and a computer. For example, one method as disclosed herein allows the handset to import contact and calendar information from the computing device or to export the contact and the calendar information to the computing device. The computing device can be a PC or a new handset, for example. The importation and the exportation of the contact and calendar information includes a conversion process that occurs within the handset that transforms the contact and calendar information into a format suitable for the destination of the data.

Method and apparatus for synchronizing contact and calendar information between a handset and a computing device

Systems and methods for creating a finger keypad using the twelve finger segments of the human hand as a 12-key keypad are presented. In one embodiment, the finger segments are each associated with respective successive keys of a 12-key keypad, and a sensor device worn on the thumb or the wrist detects the thumb of the hand tapping on a selected finger segment and produces an output signal which varies based on which finger segment is tapped. A processor associated with the sensor device converts the output signals to corresponding 12-key values, and the 12-key values are converted to corresponding alpha-numeric values.
