Abstract
A data processing system including: a display screen; a keyboard; a sensor subsystem for generating a sensed output indicative of the position of the display screen relative to the keyboard; a memory for storing one or more outputs from the sensor subsystem; a comparator for generating feedback indicative of the difference between the output from the sensor subsystem and an output stored in the memory; and, communication means for communicating the feedback to a user of the data processing system.
Claims10
A data processing system comprising:
- a display screen;
- a keyboard;
- a sensor subsystem for generating an output dependent on a position of the display screen relative to the keyboard;
- a memory for storing one or more outputs from the sensor subsystem;
- a comparator for generating feedback indicative of a difference between a current output from the sensor subsystem and an output stored in the memory;
- and communication means for communicating the feedback to a user of the data processing system.
A method for positioning a display screen of a data processing system relative to a keyboard of the data processing system, the method comprising:
- generating, via a sensor subsystem, an output indicative of a position of the display screen relative to the keyboard;
- storing one or more outputs from the sensor subsystem;
- generating feedback indicative of a difference between the output from the sensor subsystem and an output stored in the memory;
- and, communicating the feedback to a user of the data processing system.
