Method and apparatus for displaying information in a display screen region identified by permanent printing
First Claim
1. A method for displaying information on a portable electronic computer system having an independent display screen region and a separate display screen region defined for receiving stroke based input, comprising the steps of:
- generating electronically first and second information to be displayed as other than a keyboard image;
storing the first generated information in a memory;
outputting the first generated information as a bit stream to the separate display screen region of the portable electronic system in the area defined for receiving stroke based input; and
outputting the second generated information for display in the independent display screen region independent of the first generated information and independent of stroke based input.

Abstract
A method and system for displaying information on a hand held computer system in a display region identified by permanent printing. The hand held computer system may comprise a second display region, separate from the first display region located in the permanent printing region. Independent streams of information may be displayed on the separate display regions. Alternatively, the second display region may be a different region of a single display unit. The display region can display any type of information, e.g., alert information, clock information, phone messages, pager messages, etc. Display of information in the display region does not interfere with the second display region.

13. A portable electronic system having a stroke based input and comprising:
-
a processor for generating first and second electronic information to be displayed as other than a keyboard image; a first display screen region coupled to said processor for displaying the generated first electronic information, said first display screen region being defined for receiving stroke based input, wherein the generated first electronic information is stored in memory and communicated as a bitstream for output by the first display screen region; and a second display screen region for displaying the second electronic information independent of the first information and independent of stroke based input. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. In a portable electronic system having a main display region, a second display screen region which defines an area for receiving stroke based input, a method for displaying information comprising:
-
displaying program information on the main display screen region of said electronic system; and in response to a predetermined event, performing operations including; generating secondary electronic information to be displayed other than as a keyboard image; outputting said generated secondary electronic information on the second display screen region wherein said outputting said secondary electronic information is independent of the stroke based input and does not interfere with said displaying program information on said main display screen region and said secondary electronic information is stored in memory and communicated as a bitstream for output to the second display screen region. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
