1. Tablet PC  A mobile notebook ??? ??? 
2. Coming up next Introduction
Hardware view
Software view 
4. Tablet stands for ? 
5. Tablet stands for(cont) A plate on which we can write. 
6. The History of Tablet PCs Concepts of writing on computer is not new  
	1. Pen Windows OS from Microsoft (In the time of Windows 3.1)
	2. Windows 95 Pen Edition
	3. Newton Pen input device (from Apple Computer)
But all failed 
7. The History of Tablet PCs Bert Keely  the dreamer of Tablet  PCs.
First drawing the future of Tablet in the SGI lab.
In order to fulfill his dream, he met the CEOs of Apple and Dell, but all of them refused Keely.
Finally, Bill Gates accepted his suggestion, and soon decided to develop an OS for his dream. 
8. What we can expect for Tablet PCs ? Function as a real Notebook 
9. What we can expect for Tablet PCs ? Can we expect more ? .
All functionality one computer could has. 
10. What is Tablet PCs ? It is a superset of 
	(1) PDA
	(2) Notebook
	(3) Desktop 
11. What is Tablet PCs ? Software view  Windows XP Tablet PC Edition.
Hardware view  the computers which running the tablet OS.
	1. Slate Tablet  has no keyboard or mouse but a  			 pen as input.
	2. Convertible Tablet  like traditional notebook, 				but has a rotatable screen. 
12. Different Designs: Slates And Convertibles  
13. What feature should Tablet PCs have ? An electromagnetic digitizer to convert handwriting 
Rapid hot docking 
Fast standby resume 
 
14. Screen rotation 
Legacy-free  you should not expect any serial/parallel ports or PS2 on a Tablet PC. 
Log-on and log-off at the click of a button

17. Tablet PC Structure 
18. Buttons Hard Buttons
 
19. Buttons (cont) Soft Buttons 
20. Writing On Computer ? In Addition to a screen and a pen, you should have one sensing technique.
For PDA -> resistive-control panel.
For Tablet PC -> Electromagnetic Digitizer.
	
			       3D-Control
 
21. The Tablet Pen 
22. Electromagnetic Digitizer The sensor  which is embedded behind the display.
The pen  which contains only the LC-circuit but no battery. 
23. Getting the Position 
24. Getting the Position (cont) The coupled energy resonates with the circuit.
And reflects back towards the sensor by forming a shaped h-domain field at the tip of the pen. 
25. The Coil Switch 
26. The Coil Switch Power Consumption  Larger than normal notebook LCD.
Power management is a main concern in the design of Tablet PC. 
27. Additional feature Pressure
Angle
Eraser-like tip  to simulate the eraser.
Additional button  to simulate the right button of the mouse. 
28. Comparison 
29. Where does the data go ? 
30. Where does the data go? (continued) The raw data  gathered by the sensor, then send to the tablet control chip (W8001).
 From analog to digital  which is done by the W8001.
Data Processing  the digital data is relay to the MCU, and then be computed into (x, y, z), pressure, tilt angle.
To Client  sent by either an asychronous serial interface (UART) or a synchronous one (SSI, SPI, I2C) 
31. Other Concerns Should perform error correction calculation to counteract many distortions. (inductive components and metals) 
32. Next Coming Introduction
The hardware view
The software view 
33. Ink Ink is what we write on paper.
The Digital Ink technology has been developed by Microsoft. 
34. The concept of Ink A visualization of pen strokes.
A data type supported by OS  you can use ink on every application !! 
35. Input Panel  Write Anywhere 
Writing Pad 
Character Recognizer 
On-Screen Keyboard  
36. What ink can do Mouse
Text editing
Drawing
Gesture  
37. From Ink to Money Digital Ink technology  support the ink data type from the os system.
The prospect of ink  
	1. Business signature security. 
	2. No need to teach people how to use computer.
	3. Many chances waited to be discovered
	 
38. Gesture Software developer can design his own gesture.
	ex. 3D rotation, special move
Recognition issues
	solution : ink-only mode, 
	               Gesture-only mode, 
                   or Mixed mode.
 
39. How to pen-enable your computer Pen-enable  to use electromagnetic pen as mouse.
Need hardware support.

40. How to ink-enable your computer ? Ink-enable  to draw and edit ink on an ink-enabled application.
Download the Windows XP SP2 and Experience Pack for Tablet PC, then execute.
	http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/tabletpc/default.mspx
	 
41. How to develop ink-enable applications ? Windows Tablet SDK v1.7 available.
	http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dntablet/html/TabPC05RcPk.asp 
Visual Basic .NET
C#
Managed C++ 
42. Four scenario of ink-supported scheme 
43. Ink to Text Conversion For an application itself does not accept pen and ink input directly.
It can still receive ink and handwriting input through Tablet PC Input Panel.  
44. Ink Controls You can position the controls on the user's screen to a fixed region for pen and ink input.  
45. Surface Ink These application support features such as  selection and editing ink.
Do not convert handwriting to text.
Do not reflow ink. 
46. Ink Manipulation Handle ink as a data type as surface ink.
But support reflowing and overlay ink object. 
47. Speech Control The Tablet APIs also provide many feature for speech-enable apps.
User can do things in the same time  
	Send control via speech input 
	Retrieving data from speech output
	Do pen editing 
48. Other Concerns for Tablet Applications Rapid hot docking 
Fast standby resume
Legacy-free Log-on and log-off at the click of a button 
Power Issues. 
49. At last How to buy a tablet pc ?
