Sharing resources by users of computing devices includes providing, at each computing device, a respective viewport to a common desktop environment that has the shared resources. The desktop is independently viewable and independently navigable through each respective viewport. Furthermore, each of the resources is independently viewable and able to be independently acted upon through each respective viewport. One or more resources of each computing device may be added to the desktop environment through the respective viewport of the computing device. A search user interface is provided for text string searching of resources of a respective viewport by a user at the computing device of the respective viewport; and an application launcher view user interface is provided for launching applications, which is viewable by clicking on an open space of the desktop environment as seen through the respective viewport, and by which launchable applications are searchable.

User interaction with desktop environment

Disclosed is an apparatus capable of hosting a secure module. The apparatus comprises a communication unit capable of near field communications, and a control unit configured to co-operate with the secure module. The control unit is further configured to detect a radio frequency field and, in response to the detection of the radio frequency field, to pass, to the secure module, control of establishing a near field connection through the communication unit. Also disclosed is a secure module, comprising a control unit configured to assume control of establishing a near field connection, wherein the control unit is further configured to provide, in the course of the near field connection establishment, a set of capabilities comprising near field communication capabilities of the secure module and near field communication capabilities of an apparatus hosting the secure module.

Near field connection establishment

Systems and methods applicable, for instance, in communications establishment. A wireless node and/or other computer might, for example, perform one or more operations to provide for connection by external devices seeking to access the wireless node and/or other computer. The wireless node and/or other computer might, for instance, expose various communications.
