System and method for display of information using a vehicle-mount computer
First Claim
1. A system for displaying information using a computer, comprising:
- an input device for inputting information;
a display device for displaying information;
a motion detector for detecting motion; and
a computer in communication with the input device, the display device, and the motion detector, the computer including a central processing unit and memory;
wherein the computer'"'"'s central processing unit is configured to store information associated with user-selected information from the input device;
wherein the computer'"'"'s central processing unit is configured to receive motion information from the motion detector;
wherein the computer'"'"'s central processing unit is configured to control the display of user-selected information on the display device; and
wherein the computer'"'"'s central processing unit comprises a blanking feature that blanks the display device in response to the motion detector'"'"'s detection of motion unless the display device is displaying user-selected information.

Abstract
A system and method displays information using a vehicle-mount computer. The system includes (i) an input device and a display device for inputting and displaying information; (ii) a motion detector for detecting vehicle motion; (iii) a proximity sensor for detecting proximity to an item; and (vi) a vehicle-mount computer in communication with the input device, the display device, the motion detector, and the proximity sensor, the vehicle-mount computer including a central processing unit and memory. The vehicle-mount computer'"'"'s central processing unit is configured to store information associated with user-selected information from the input device and to display a zoomed view of the user-selected information on the display device. Further, the vehicle-mount computer'"'"'s central processing unit is configured to override screen-blanking when user-selected information is displayed.
