`ABSTRACT
`(57)
`Systems and methods for navigating hypermedia using mul-
`tiple coordinated input/output device sets. Disclosed systems
`and methods allow a user and/or an author to control what
`
`resources are presented on which device sets (whether they
`are integrated or not), a11d provide for coordinating browsing
`activities to enable such a user interface to be employed
`across multiple independent systems. Disclosed systems and
`methods also support new and enriched aspects and applica-
`tions of hypermedia browsing and related business activities.
