Abstract: A method including: identifying, for a current user input state, a plurality of available next user input states; defining a set of putative next user input states comprising including one or more of the available next user input states; defining a set of advancing tasks, in anticipation of the current user input state becoming, next, any one of the one or more putative next user input states of the set of putative next user input states; redefining the set of putative next user input states, including one or more of the available next user input states, in response to a user movement signal that depends upon user movement; and redefining the set of advancing tasks, in anticipation of the current user input state becoming, next, any one of the one or more putative next user input states of the set of putative next user input states

Abstract: Systems and methods for serial data transmission having at least two different operating modes dependent on the connected signaling device. For instance, one exemplary method involves monitoring at least one line of an interface comprising at least four differential data line pairs, detecting signals indicative of the presence of a connected device at the interface, selecting one of a predefined set of operating modes dependent on detected signals on the monitored line(s), and receiving and/or transmitting signals on at least one of the differential data line pairs, where the received signals and/or signals to be transmitted are processed in combination or independently for each data line pair, dependent on the selected operating mode.
