First Claim
Patent Images
1. A personal digital assistant (PDA), comprising:
- a calendar function;
an address book function;
a processor operable to communicate with a memory and a display;
wherein the PDA uses the memory in cooperation with the processor to pack a plurality of coordinate data and associate at least a portion of activation data with each coordinate data, each coordinate data having three or more dimensions, and wherein the activation data indicates whether select ones of the three or more dimensions are activated and whether select ones of the three or more dimensions are deactivated; and
wherein at least a portion of the coordinate data is dynamically communicated to the display.

Abstract
Devices, systems, functional data and methods are provided for packing n-dimensional data. The navigational device with n-dimensional data packing capabilities includes a processor communicating with a memory. Packing n-dimensional data within one or more coordinate data. Each coordinate data includes n-dimensional data and a control data. The control data are operable to determine which n-dimensional data are active within the coordinate data. Furthermore, each coordinate data are compressed or packed.
