Keyboard with input-sensitive display device
First Claim
1. An integrated input/output device for a computer system having a primary display, the integrated input/output device comprising:
- a plurality of alphanumeric keys for receiving character inputs from a user;
an input-sensing display device configured to provide displays supplemental to the primary display of the computer system and to receive display selection inputs from the user, the input-sensing display device positioned proximate the plurality of alphanumeric keys, wherein the display selection inputs correspond to possible correct text units of text displayed on the primary display; and
a display device interface configured to provide the display selection inputs to the computer system and to receive supplemental display data for displaying on the input-sensing display device, wherein the input-sensing display device is removable from a first structure at the display device interface, the first structure including the plurality of alphanumeric keys, the display device interface operatively connecting the first structure and the input-sensing display device when connected with each other, wherein the input-sensing display device comprises a computing device having functionality independent of the integrated input/output device.

Abstract
An input/output device is disclosed that includes an input-sensitive display screen and alphanumeric keys for entering characters. The input-sensitive display screen may be positioned proximate the alphanumeric keys and be capable of displaying graphical information and sensing user selection of the graphical information. The input-sensitive display screen may include a combination display/input region and a non-display input region. The touch sensitive display screen may be detachable from the alphanumeric region and may be operable in a detached configuration. The input/output device may usable with a method of input correction. The method may include displaying, on a secondary display, a first text unit, such as a character or a word, which corresponds with a second text unit shown on a primary display screen of a computing device. The method further involves receiving user selection of the first text unit and replacing the first text unit with a second text unit.
