Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR N CHOOSE M DEVICE SELECTION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1998027650
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method for selectively enabling one of X agents in a system so as to allow the selected agent to be active in a shared communication system. The method comprises the steps of assigning each agent to a unique subset M of a plurality of N select lines, M being greater than 1 and less than N, and translating an identification number so as to assert M of the plurality of N select lines. The asserted M select lines uniquely select a designated agent. For one embodiment, all of the X agents may be selected by enabling all N select lines. For another embodiment, more than one but not all of the agents may be selected. 00000
