(under the class definition) Subject matter comprising means or steps for changing a system setting or an operational mode after it has been set.
(1) Note. The subject matter of this subclass is directed to alteration of system settings, parameters, or operational modes that have been previously set or initialized. Initialization of a system is classified elsewhere.
(2) Note. For the purpose of this definition system settings" includes any system data orientation or device configuration required for a particular mode of operation of a digital data processing system.
(3) Note. The subject matter of this subclass is directed to alteration of system settings, parameters, or operational modes that have been previously set or initialized. Context switching of a processor, computer, or digital data processing system between executing processes, tasks, or threads is classified elsewhere.
