This disclosure is directed to a system to provide tactile feedback during non-contact interaction. A system may comprise at least display circuitry, sensing circuitry, tactile feedback circuitry and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry may cause the display circuitry to present a user interface. The sensing circuitry may sense when a body part of a user (e.g., a hand, a finger, etc.) is proximate to the user interface and may generate position data based on a sensed position of the body part. The processing circuitry may determine a relative position of the body part with respect to the user interface based on the position data, and may determine if the body part is interacting with the user interface based on the relative position. If it is determined that the body part is interacting with the user interface, the processing circuitry may cause the tactile feedback circuitry to generate directional feedback.

System to provide tactile feedback during non-contact interaction

A computer system, method, article of manufacture, and system is provided comprising a processor, a first storage device with a primary operating system stored within and a second storage device with a secondary operating system stored within. The computer system contains BIOS capable of booting either the primary operating system or the secondary operating system responsive to user selection. The secondary operating system has fewer functions than the primary operating system and is capable of running the computer system independent of the primary operating system.

Dual operating system computing system

A method for coordinating a point-to-point data session includes generating messages to a party at a first end of an existing voice telephone call. The messages instruct the party of what to do with a telephone. Instructions are transmitted to a modem at the first end to allow the modem to support the point-to-point data session on the existing voice telephone call.

Method and apparatus for coordinating a point to point data session from an existing voice telephone call

A computer-implemented approach for concurrently enabling voice calls and having a computer system coupled to a packet switched network over a first communications line. The approach includes a step of detecting whether a computer system is coupled to a packet switched network via the first communications line and if the computer system is coupled to the packet switched network, a step of concurrently enabling voice communications over the first communications line using a first voice telephony device coupled to the computer system.

Method and apparatus for switching voice calls using a computer system

A method and apparatus for transmitting encoded data from one computer system to another using an AT command set compatible communication device is described. Data being sent from a communications application to the AT command set compatible communication device is monitored, and encryption is performed in response to detecting a connect message and a carrier detect signal received from the communication device and changing in response to said detection the state of an encryption application from a first state to a remote state and the data is encrypted using a stream encryption scheme before it is passed to the communication device. When a break sequence is detected or a carrier detect signal is deasserted, encryption is ceased thus having the encryption application automatically return to the first state.

A memory is coupled to a processor in the computer system to implement a modem with simultaneous voice and data capabilities. The modem comprises a communication port to couple the computer system to a phone line, and software in the memory. The memory comprises a first software component which, when executed on the processor, provides a data input to the physical communication port, and a second software component which, when executed on the processor, provides a voice input to the physical communication port. The first and second software components cooperate to enable simultaneous voice and data communication through the physical communication port.
