20. A computer program product, comprising:
a storage device having code stored therewith, the code being executable by a processor and comprising:
code that receives, using a processor, data to be displayed across at least two hingedly coupled display devices;
code that determines, using a processor, the display mode of the data, the display mode being selected from the group consisting of an occluded mode and a non-occluded mode;
code that in the occluded mode, processes, using a processor, the data to occlude pixels of the data based upon the determined display mode, the pixels being occluded at a location where a physical separation exists between the at least two hingedly coupled display devices; and
code that displays, using the at least two hingedly coupled display devices, the data according to the display mode determined.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A method for identifying a hub in a communication network having a plurality of hubs connecting communication terminals to a switching system and using a time-slot-oriented data format formed from a periodic sequence of channel-oriented information segments for data transmission between the communication terminals via the hubs and the switching system, said method comprising:
associating each of the hubs with an unambiguous address in the communication network;
requesting the address of a respective hub by the switching system via a request message addressed to one of the communication terminals connected to the respective hub; and
transmitting by the respective hub the address of the respective hub via the communication network to the switching system in an agreed information segment upon the request.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the request is made during a message transmission from the switching system to the communication terminal.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the request is made during a message transmission from the communication terminal to the switching system.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein the address is transmitted in a monitor channel transmitting configuration information of the time-slot-oriented data format.
5. The method of claim 4, further comprising the step of:
indicating the request by transmitting an agreed bit combination in a signaling channel of the time-slot-oriented data format.
6. The method of claim 4, further comprising the step of: indicating the request by a simplified protocol being transmitted in the signaling channel or a monitor channel, which transmits configuration information concerning the time-slot-oriented data format.
