ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for a mobile personal computer (MPC) system with built-in scanner. In one embodiment, the method includes detection of the insertion of an item within a paper feed tail exposed on an exterior surface of the MPC system. In one embodiment, if insertion is detected when the MPC system is in a sleep state, a disabled scanner device is enabled to scan the item to capture an item image. Subsequently, the item image may be processed to identify the item as, for example, a business card. In one embodiment, an item image may be further processed to extract contact information from the item image. In one embodiment, when item insertion is performed during a sleep state, subsequent to completion of extraction of the contact information, components of the system awoken during the sleep state may resume the sleep state. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
