MODIFIED OPERATING SYSTEMS ALLOWING MOBILE DEVICES TO ACCOMMODATE IO DEVICES MORE CONVENIENT THAN THEIR OWN INHERENT IO DEVICES AND METHODS FOR GENERATING SUCH SYSTEMS

摘要

A computerized system for hopping between an existing population of I/O devices, each I/O device being operative to communicate with operating systems in accordance with a respective I/O protocol, the system comprising a mobile operating system operative to execute at least one application by communicating with a selectable individual one of the existing population of I/O devices, including selectably interacting with the selectable individual I/O device in accordance with its respective I/O protocol, wherein the population of I/O devices from which the individual I/O device is selected includes a plurality of I/O devices including at least one I/O device which is not housed with the operating system; and hardware within which the mobile operating system resides and interacting with the mobile operating system.
