A terminal is provided that includes data transfer circuitry, tactile circuitry and at least one conductor. The data transfer circuitry is capable of transferring and/or receiving data. The tactile circuitry, on the other hand, is capable of measuring at least one condition of a user. The terminal also includes at least one conductor coupled to both the data transfer circuitry and the tactile circuitry. In this regard, the conductor(s) are capable of communicating with the data transfer circuitry to function as an antenna, and capable of communicating with the tactile circuitry to function as a tactile interface. To control communication with the conductor(s), the terminal can further include switching logic capable of operating to permit the data transfer circuitry to communicate with the conductor(s) functioning as an antenna, or permit the tactile circuitry to communicate with the conductor(s) functioning as a tactile interface. |
