Abstract: A terminal device, such as a computer, workstation or smart phone, incorporates a memory structure which simplifies and facilitates communications between a host computer and the terminal device. The host computer and the terminal device exchange application interface information via a communications protocol in which the host computer associates different types of objects with respective identifiers and then transmits an object type and its associated identifier to the terminal device. The terminal device, in turn, displays the object in a form determined solely by the terminal device but in accordance with respective predefined policies determined by the memory structure. If a user manipulates a displayed object type, then data representative of such manipulation is generated and transmitted with the associated object identifier to the host processor.

Abstract: A portable device operable from batteries employing different cell technologies is disclosed. Through the addition of minimal circuitry, a portable device configured for operation with battery cells having a first type of technology may be configured to accommodate batteries employing alternative cell technologies. Circuitry is also associated with battery cells of the alternative battery technology for configuring output parameters of these battery cells for operation with the portable device. A single battery charger, which connects to the portable device, is usable for recharging each of the battery cell technologies through the portable device.
