Convenient Recharging Of A Charge Storage Device

US Patent:
7888909, Feb 15, 2011
Filed:
Oct 8, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/868731
Inventors:
Glen C Larsen - Issaquah WA, US
James C Marshall - Puyallup WA, US
Michael R Schweers - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
H02J 7/00
US Classification:
320115, 320107, 429 99, 429100, 429101
Abstract:
The convenient recharging of a charge storage device is disclosed. In one embodiment, a system comprises a portable device accessory with a charge storage device holding mechanism and a recharging circuit. The system also comprises a portable device with an interface at which the portable device and the portable device accessory are connectable. A charge storage device-switching mechanism is disposed within the portable device accessory or the portable device. The charge storage device-switching mechanism is actuatable to switch a first charge storage device in the portable device with a second charge storage device in the charge storage device holding mechanism of the portable device accessory by mechanically connecting and/or disconnecting the portable device from the portable device accessory.

Mechanical Architecture For Display Keyboard Keys

US Patent:
7982149, Jul 19, 2011
Filed:
Sep 29, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/240017
Inventors:
Glen C. Larsen - Issaquah WA, US
Michael R. Schweers - Seattle WA, US
Steven N. Bathiche - Kirkland WA, US
Andrew Wilson - Seattle WA, US
Jonathan Knight - Seattle WA, US
David Zucker - Seattle WA, US
Kurt A. Jenkins - Sammamish WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
H01H 13/83
US Classification:
200314, 200310, 200313, 200341, 200344, 200345
Abstract:
Mechanical architecture for providing maximum viewing area on key button tops of keys for a user input device. The viewing area is for the display of information on the key buttons, and also includes tactile feedback similar to standard laptop keyboards, all using low cost manufacturing methods such as injection molding. The architecture optimizes an aperture through the core of the key switch assembly in order to project an image through the aperture and onto the display area of the key button. The architecture relocates in at least one embodiment the tactile feedback mechanism (e. g. , dome assembly) out from underneath the key button to the perimeter or side of the key switch assembly. The architecture finds particular application to input devices such as keyboards, game pods, data entry device, etc. , that operate in combination with an optical surface (e. g. , wedge lens).

Touch-Scrolling Pad For Computer Input Devices

US Patent:
2013016, Jul 4, 2013
Filed:
Dec 28, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/338472
Inventors:
Christopher H. Kujawski - Seattle WA, US
Anthony A. Torrence - Bellevue WA, US
Carl E. Picciotto - Clyde Hill WA, US
Michael R. Schweers - Seattle WA, US
Matthew G. Pedersen - Seattle WA, US
NiƱo Aldrin L. Sarmiento - Redmond WA, US
Martyn S. Jackson - Redmond WA, US
Scott Mitchel Mail - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G08B 6/00
US Classification:
3404072
Abstract:
In embodiments of a touch-scrolling pad for computer input devices, a touch sensor strip detects touch contacts on a touch-scrolling pad that is implemented for vertical scrolling input and horizontal scrolling input. A selectable button positioned proximate below the touch sensor strip can be selected by an actuation depress input to the touch-scrolling pad. The touch-scrolling pad includes programmed instructions in firmware implemented to determine that a touch contact is one of a vertical scrolling input, a horizontal scrolling input, or the actuation depress input to actuate the selectable button. The touch-scrolling pad also includes a haptic system that generates haptic feedback responsive to either of the vertical scrolling input or the horizontal scrolling input.
