          Application No. 09/002,828                                                  


          views provide a graphical user interface associated with a                  
          particular application, while the overlays provide a partial                
          screen graphical user interface cooperating with and consistent             
          over the views.  Further included are system services which                 
          provide common functionality and/or user interfaces shared by the           
          views and overlays.                                                         
               Independent claim 1 is illustrative of the invention and               
          reads as follows:                                                           
                    1.  A computerized convergence system comprising:                 
                    a hardware component providing a convergence                      
                    environment;                                                      
                         a drivers component providing low-level                      
                    functionality and cooperating directly with the                   
                    hardware component;                                               
                    a view component providing graphical user                         
                    interface contexts;                                               
                         an overlay component providing partial screen                
                    graphical user interfaces consistent across the                   
                    graphical user interface contexts provided by the view            
                    component;                                                        
                    and,                                                              
                         a system services component interfacing with the             
                    drivers component and providing common functionality              
                    and user interfaces shared by the view component and              
                    the overlay component.                                            




                                          2
