  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SELECTIVELY PROVIDING ACCESS TO A PLURALITY OF DEVICES
    Publication number: 20120209935
    Abstract: A method and system for selectively providing access to one or more slave computing devices is described. The method includes providing one or more slave computing devices and one or more master computing devices, the master computing device being communicatively coupled to the slave computing device. The method also includes displaying a user interface on the slave computing device that accepts input from a user and receiving a disablement signal at the slave computing device from the master computing device. The method also includes the step of—responsive to receipt of the disablement signal—disabling the user interface of the slave computing device such that the user is not permitted to provide the input. As part of the disablement of the slave computing device, a non-interactive message that does not respond to user attempts to provide input to the slave computing device can be displayed on the slave computing device.
