Embodiments generally relate to keyboard technology. More particularly, embodiments relate to the automatic assignment of keyboard languages.
Many Internet users across the world may navigate to different websites that display content in different languages. For example, a typical user in Israel may have several browser sessions opened simultaneously, with some being written in the English language and some being written in a non-English language (e.g., Hebrew, Chinese, etc.). In order to be able type in the correct language, however, the user may be required to manually switch the keyboard language back and forth between English and non-English keyboard layouts when changing tabs or navigating to new websites. Such a scenario may lead to countless cases of the user starting to type in the wrong language, deleting the typed information, changing the keyboard language and typing again in the appropriate language.
The various advantages of the embodiments of the present invention will become apparent to one skilled in the art by reading the following specification and appended claims, and by referencing the following drawings, in which:

The language identification module 38 may also associate the language with a browser tab and/or window corresponding to the web content in a tab association repository 42 (e.g., last tab language). In this regard, the illustrated browser module 30 also includes a tab monitor 44 that detects selections by the user of browser tabs and/or windows, wherein a repository interface 46 may use the tab association repository 42 to identify a language associated with each selected tab and/or window. Accordingly, the keyboard configuration module 40 may also assign languages identified in the tab association repository 42 to the keyboard 11.

Illustrated processing block 52 provides for changing an active window/tab or inserting a new web page address (e.g., URL/uniform resource locator) in an address bar of a browser. The site language may be identified at block 54 by, for example, either analyzing a meta tag of the corresponding web content (e.g., for new addresses) or retrieving a tab-language association from a repository such as the tab association repository 42 (
The site language may also be associated with a tab/window corresponding to the web content at block 58, wherein illustrated block 60 determines whether the user has manually changed the keyboard language. If so, the new keyboard language may be assigned to the keyboard and the appropriate tab/window. Otherwise, a determination may be made at block 62 as to whether a new window/tab or address has been requested. If so, the method 50 may be repeated for the web content associated with the request.
The processor 200 is shown including execution logic 250 having a set of execution units 255-1 through 255-N. Some embodiments may include a number of execution units dedicated to specific functions or sets of functions. Other embodiments may include only one execution unit or one execution unit that can perform a particular function. The illustrated execution logic 250 performs the operations specified by code instructions.
After completion of execution of the operations specified by the code instructions, back end logic 260 retires the instructions of the code 213. In one embodiment, the processor 200 allows out of order execution but requires in order retirement of instructions. Retirement logic 265 may take a variety of forms as known to those of skill in the art (e.g., re-order buffers or the like). In this manner, the processor core 200 is transformed during execution of the code 213, at least in terms of the output generated by the decoder, the hardware registers and tables utilized by the register renaming logic 225, and any registers (not shown) modified by the execution logic 250.

Determining whether an embodiment is implemented using hardware elements and/or software elements may vary in accordance with any number of factors, such as desired computational rate, power levels, heat tolerances, processing cycle budget, input data rates, output data rates, memory resources, data bus speeds and other design or performance constraints.
One or more aspects of at least one embodiment may be implemented by representative instructions stored on a machine-readable medium which represents various logic within the processor, which when read by a machine causes the machine to fabricate logic to perform the techniques described herein. Such representations, known as “IP cores” may be stored on a tangible, machine readable medium and supplied to various customers or manufacturing facilities to load into the fabrication machines that actually make the logic or processor.
Embodiments of the present invention are applicable for use with all types of semiconductor integrated circuit (“IC”) chips. Examples of these IC chips include but are not limited to processors, controllers, chipset components, programmable logic arrays (PLAs), memory chips, network chips, and the like. In addition, in some of the drawings, signal conductor lines are represented with lines. Some may be different, to indicate more constituent signal paths, have a number label, to indicate a number of constituent signal paths, and/or have arrows at one or more ends, to indicate primary information flow direction. This, however, should not be construed in a limiting manner. Rather, such added detail may be used in connection with one or more exemplary embodiments to facilitate easier understanding of a circuit. Any represented signal lines, whether or not having additional information, may actually comprise one or more signals that may travel in multiple directions and may be implemented with any suitable type of signal scheme, e.g., digital or analog lines implemented with differential pairs, optical fiber lines, and/or single-ended lines.
Example sizes/models/values/ranges may have been given, although embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the same.
