FIELD: information technologies.
SUBSTANCE: terminal according to this invention may use and independently and directly control peripheral devices of the second terminal in the condition, when the first terminal is connected with the second terminal, and functions of the second terminal, where the proposed terminal serves as the first terminal and includes the following: a connector for data exchange with the second terminal due to a connection line; a control unit for control of peripheral devices of the second terminal when connected with a connection line; a transmitting emulator for conversion of transmitted data of the first terminal into data available for processing by the second terminal during their transmission to the second terminal; and a receiving emulator for conversion of transmitted data of the second terminal into data available for processing by the first terminal during their transmission to the first terminal.
EFFECT: expansion of functional capabilities of terminal control with the help of another terminal connected to it, due to usage of only those software and hardware facilities of the first terminal, which are necessary for interaction with the connected second terminal.
