First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- at least one display configured to receive a composite display signal and render a composite image corresponding thereto viewable by a user;
at least one input device to receive commands from a user;
a display processor configured to receive a plurality of display signals comprising a display signal from each device of a plurality of electronic devices, said each device operating independently from any control by the display processor, generate the composite display signal to define a plurality of windows wherein each signal of the plurality of display signals corresponds to at least one window of the plurality of windows, and transmit the composite display signal to the at least one display;
the display processor, further comprising a resizer programmed to receive an entire content from each signal of the plurality of display signals, represent the entire content with an image thereof, and resize pixelation thereof in accordance with the commands while continually maintaining and updating the display of the content as it is changing in real time; and
a command processor programmed to route at least one of the commands to at least one device of the plurality of electronic devices, and configured to selectively control and assign to a button for substantially simultaneous recall upon activation by a user, according to the commands, the relative size of each window of the plurality of windows.

Abstract
An apparatus comprising a display, input device, display processor, and command processor. The display may receive a composite display signal and render a composite image corresponding thereto viewable by a user. The input device may receive commands from a user. The display processor may receive display signals of disparate forms from each of various electronic devices, generate the composite display signal to define multiple windows wherein each of the display signal corresponds to at least one window, and transmit the composite display signal to the display. The command processor may be configured to selectively control, according to the commands received from a user through the input device, the relative size, position, or the like of each window presented on the display.
