Abstract

According to some embodiments of the present invention, there is provided an interface apparatus for a multi-application electronic device, including a human interface surface having integrated presentation and sensing elements, such that the device has substantially full functionality for substantially all applications without the use of other human interfaces.

Claims

1. A multi-application electronic device, comprising:

a device elements manager adapted to manage one or more components of the device in accordance with an active device profile, wherein the active device profile includes one or more driver identifiers and/or driver parameters for the one or more components.

2. The device according to claim 1, wherein said element manager is adapted to update a driver associated with device component selected from the group consisting of data communications module, voice (GSM) communications module and graphics drive circuits.

3. The device according to claim 1, wherein a device component is associated with at least one device subsystem selected from the group consisting of cell-phone subsystem, a digital personal organizer subsystem, a media playing subsystem.

4. A method of operating an electronic device comprising:

managing one or more components of the device in accordance with an active device profile, wherein the active device profile includes one or more driver identifiers and/or driver parameters for the one or more components.

5. The method according to claim 4, further comprising updating a driver associated with device component selected from the group consisting of data communications module, voice (GSM) communications module and graphics drive circuits.

6. The method according to claim 4, wherein a device component is associated with at least one device subsystem selected from the group consisting of cell-phone subsystem, a digital personal organizer subsystem, a media playing subsystem.
