Abstract
Abstract A portable, self-contained general purpose keyboardless computer utilizes a touch screen display for data entry purposes. An application generator allows the user to develop data entry applications by combining the features of sequential libraries, consequential libraries, help libraries, syntax libraries, and pictogram libraries into an integrated data entry application. A run-time executor allows the processor to execute the data entry application.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A portable, keyboardless computer including an input/output device for entering and displaying information, said computer comprising: A. a memory for storing a data collection application and an operating system, said data collection application determining contents and formats of the information displayed by the input/output device; B. a processing unit connected to said memory for executing said data collection application; C. an application generator operating in conjunction with said operating system to generate said data collection application and to create different functional libraries relating to said contents and said formats displayed by the input/output device; and D. a run-time executor operating in conjunction with said processing unit to execute said application and said libraries to facilitate data collection operations.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
118 words
A portable, keyboardless computer including an input/output device for entering and displaying information, said computer comprising: A. a memory for storing a data collection application and an operating system, said data collection application determining contents and formats of the information displayed by the input/output device; B. a processing unit connected to said memory for executing said data collection application; C. an application generator operating in conjunction with said operating system to generate said data collection application and to create different functional libraries relating to said contents and said formats displayed by the input/output device; and D. a run-time executor operating in conjunction with said processing unit to execute said application and said libraries to facilitate data collection operations.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The portable, keyboardless computer of claim 1 further comprising means for powering said memory and processing unit.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words

Claim 10
Dependent Claim
40 words
The portable, keyboardless computer of claim 8 wherein said application generator includes means for personalizing said libraries, together with said contents and said formats displayed by the input/output device, according to said data collection application executed by said processing unit.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
101 words
A portable, keyboardless computer including an input/output device for entering and displaying information, said computer comprising: a memory for storing at least one data collection application configured to determine the contents and formats of the information displayed by the input/output device; a processor coupled to said memory for executing said data collection application; and an application generator for generating said data collection application for generating different functional libraries relating to said contents and said formats displayed by the input/output device said application generator operating in conjunction with said processor to partition said memory for storing said data collection application and libraries.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
101 words
A portable, keyboardless computer including an input/output device for entering and displaying information, said computer comprising: a memory for storing at least one data collection application configured to determine the contents and formats of the information displayed by the input/output device; a processor coupled to said memory for executing said data collection application; and an application generator for generating said data collection application for generating different functional libraries relating to said contents and said formats displayed by the input/output device said application generator operating in conjunction with said processor to partition said memory for storing said data collection application and libraries.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
68 words
The computer of claim 10 wherein said libraries include: a sequential library of possible responses configured for display by the input/output device in selected ones of said formats; a consequential library of one of actions and executable instructions associated with said possible responses for changing the flow of said data collection application; and a syntax library for changing the syntax of the information displayed by the input/output device.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
72 words
A portable, keyboardless computer including an input/output device for entering and displaying information, said computer comprising: a memory for storing a data collection application and various libraries relating to contents and formats of the information displayed by the input/output device; a processor coupled to said memory and the input/output device for executing said data collection application; and a run-time executor for executing said application and said libraries to facilitate data collection operations.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
72 words
A portable, keyboardless computer including an input/output device for entering and displaying information, said computer comprising: a memory for storing a data collection application and various libraries relating to contents and formats of the information displayed by the input/output device; a processor coupled to said memory and the input/output device for executing said data collection application; and a run-time executor for executing said application and said libraries to facilitate data collection operations.
