Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
164 words
A mobile client computer comprising: a housing sized to be held in and manipulated by the hand of a user; a processor mounted within said housing and processing digital data; memory mounted within said housing for storing digital data and coupled to said processor; a display mounted in said housing and coupled to said processor and said memory to display information derived from digital data processed by said processor; an input digitizer mounted in said housing and overlaying said display, said digitizer being coupled to said processor and enabling input of digital data by a user; and a control program stored in said memory and accessible by said processor to direct the processing of digital data by said processor; said control program and said processor cooperating, when said control program is executing on said processor, in (a) displaying a form having a title line and data fields, and (b) importing into the title line data derived from a predetermined one of the data fields.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
164 words
A mobile client computer comprising: a housing sized to be held in and manipulated by the hand of a user; a processor mounted within said housing and processing digital data; memory mounted within said housing for storing digital data and coupled to said processor; a display mounted in said housing and coupled to said processor and said memory to display information derived from digital data processed by said processor; an input digitizer mounted in said housing and overlaying said display, said digitizer being coupled to said processor and enabling input of digital data by a user; and a control program stored in said memory and accessible by said processor to direct the processing of digital data by said processor; said control program and said processor cooperating, when said control program is executing on said processor, in (a) displaying a form having a title line and data fields, and (b) importing into the title line data derived from a predetermined one of the data fields.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
