ABSTRACT:
A pen-based portable computer system which includes one or more pen-based wireless interface devices that are adapted to communicate by way of a radio link to a remote host personal computer or server. The pen-based wireless interface device is adapted to operate in a pen mode and a mouse mode. In a mouse mode, pen down events are translated to mouse data and formulated into mouse data packets which, in turn, are transmitted over the radio link to the remote host computer or server. In order to enable the wireless interface device to switch to a pen mode, one or more ink field is created within a container application. On power-up, the system comes up in a mouse mode. Pen events within the ink field cause the system to transfer to a pen mode. Pen events within the container application are translated into pen data packets transmitted over the radio link to the remote host computer or server.
