SBIR Phase II: Enabling Sharable Infrastructure for the Human/Computer Interface

这一小型企业创新研究第二阶段项目解决了计算机系统与显示器和键盘等用户界面组件之间无缝互操作的挑战。如今，这些组件与计算机紧密相连，这限制了两者的使用，特别是在移动系统中，在移动系统中，用户总是必须在可用的显示器和合理的便携性之间进行选择。该系统将I/O设备与计算设备分开，从而实现了计算机的不同使用模式，其中用户可以携带小得多的计算设备并在可用的情况下使用共享的大I/O设备。这些改进的设计和实施将以实地部署的原型用户的反馈为指导。从长远来看，这种方法的广泛采用有可能彻底改变人类与计算机的交互方式，因为它允许计算设备缩小到看不见的地方，同时将界面从便携性的限制中解放出来。这项技术在医疗保健和移动计算方面也有直接的商业应用，这些市场将通过未来的战略合作伙伴关系来开拓。

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project addresses the challenge of seamless interoperability among computer systems and user interface components such as displays and keyboards. Such components today are tightly coupled with the computer, which restricts the utility of both especially in mobile systems, where users invariably have to choose between usable displays and reasonable portability. The system being separates I/O devices from computing devices enabling a different mode of use of computers where a user can carry around much smaller computing devices and use shared larger I/O devices as available.. The design and implementation of these enhancements will be guided by feedback from users of prototypes deployed in the field. In the long run, the widespread adoption of this approach has the potential to revolutionize the way humans interact with computers, by allowing computing devices to shrink out of sight, while freeing interfaces from the constraints of portability. The technology has immediate commercial applications in health care and mobile computing as well, these markets will be explored through future strategic partnerships.
