  • Patent number: 9876802
    Abstract: There is disclosed a computing apparatus including a first context within which first processing activity may be performed and a second context within which second processing activity may be performed independent of the first processing activity, the apparatus further may include input and/or output channels with which the first and second contexts may communicate and a switch function operated by a selector; whereby operation of the selector by a user selectively allows communication between the first context and/or the second context (of the first part) and the input and/or output channels (of the second part). An indicator is provided to indicate which context is in communication with the input/output channels.

  • Publication number: 20130084804
    Abstract: A terminal comprises at least one monitor, capable of rendering image data, and radio frequency communication means for communicating with at least one additional communicating device. Said monitor supports, on at least one portion of the surface thereof, a transparent antenna which does not interfere with rendering said image data, and which works in cooperation with said radio frequency communication means. Said terminal comprises data generation means indicating the presence of said antenna, forming a portion of said image data rendered by said monitor.
