Abstract:
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.
