1. An apparatus comprising:
- (a) a processor to receive primary and associated data, with the associated data being targeted for different recipients, to decode and separate the associated data from the primary data, and to cause the associated data to be separately rendered, with the associated data being correspondingly rendered for the targeted recipients,the processor is also to separately cause a separate display apparatus to separately receive and render the primary data; and
(b) a control mechanism coupled to the processor to facilitate the processor in causing said separate display apparatus to separately receive and render the primary data; and
(c) a splitter coupled to the processor to facilitate the processor in splitting the associated data for corresponding rendering, wherein the splitter comprises a first plurality of instructions that facilitate transmission of the split associated data to the corresponding targeted recipients and a second plurality of instructions that facilitate incremental transmission of the split associated data to the corresponding targeted recipients in a round robin fashion, when executed by the processor.

Abstract
A host device is disclosed. The host device includes a processor and a control mechanism. The processor operates to receive primary and associated data, the associated data being targeted for different recipients, decode and separate the associated data from the primary data, and cause the associated data to be correspondingly rendered on separate hand held devices. The processor also operates the control mechanism to control a separate display apparatus to separately receive and render the primary data.

8. A system comprising:
-
(a) a host device to receive primary and associated data, with the associated data being targeted for different recipients, to decode and separate the associated data from the primary data, and to cause the associated data to be correspondingly rendered on hand held devices of the targeted recipients, the host device is to further separately cause a separate display apparatus to separately receive and render the primary data; and (b) the hand held devices, communicatively coupled to the host device, and responsive to render the associated data responsive to the host device, each of the hand held devices having external physical dimensions that are suitable for hand held usage while viewing the separately rendered primary data. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A method comprising:
-
(a) receiving primary and associated data, where the associated data are targeted for different recipients; (b) decoding and separating the associated data from the primary data, and causing the associated data to be separately rendered correspondingly for the targeted recipients, wherein the associated data is split for corresponding rendering and incrementally transmitted to the corresponding targeted recipients in a round robin fashion; and (c) causing a separate display apparatus to separately receive and render the primary data.
