According to various embodiments, there is provided a user input device including: a chassis including a socket configured to releasably receive a panel; a memory storing a plurality of button maps, wherein each button map of the plurality of button maps defines functions of at least one button of a respective panel of a plurality of panels, each of which being receivable in the socket; and a processor configured to read an identity code of the received panel, and further configured to identify a matching button map from the plurality of button maps based on the identity code, wherein the matching button map defines the functions of the at least one button of the received panel.

User input devices, panels for use with a user input device and computer peripheral devices

A design that allows a touchpad or a digitizer stylus pad to double up as a mouse mat/pad so that a computer mouse can be used over it is provided. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus for managing input devices are provided. The apparatus may determine whether a surface input is received at an input surface. The apparatus may determine whether a mouse input is received at a computer mouse. The apparatus may disable one of the input surface and the computer mouse that has a lower priority than another of the input surface and the computer mouse when the surface input and the mouse input are received at respective input device within a threshold window of time.

Method and apparatus of using a computer touchpad or digitizer stylus pad as a mousepad

A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus for power management are provided. The apparatus may determine an activation distance based on operator behavior in relation to operating the apparatus. The apparatus may detect the presence of an approaching operator at the activation distance. The apparatus may wake up from a low-power state in response to the detecting of the presence of the approaching operator at the activation distance. The apparatus may determine a deactivation distance based on the operator behavior. The apparatus may detect the presence of a departing operator of the apparatus at the deactivation distance. The apparatus may enter into the low-power state in response to the detecting of the presence of the departing operator at the deactivation distance.

Method of power management and apparatus for power management

According to various embodiments, an input device may be provided. The input device may include: a housing with a lower portion and an upper portion; a depressible button provided in the upper portion; a first magnetic component coupled to the depressible button and configured to move at least substantially along an axis when the depressible button is depressed; a second magnetic component coupled to the lower portion at least substantially at the axis, wherein at least one of the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component includes an electromagnet; an interface configured to receive control information from a computing device external to the input device; and a control circuit configured to control the electromagnet based on the control information.
