Abstract

See full text

A control and communications panel that provides users with an easy way to perform computing tasks. The panel may be located in any convenient location, such as in a location that the user can easily see and reach. The control and communications panel provides various controls such as buttons corresponding to computing tasks, including program-related and communications-related tasks. When operated, each control notifies the operating system (or other program) of a state change, and control handling logic processes the state data to take an appropriate action. Indicators such as LEDs related to the controls convey state information to users. USB ports and/or media drives or storage media may be included in the control and communications panel.
