A method performed by a first node (111). The method is for handling communications between a publisher node (101) and a subscriber node (102) over a communications network (100). The first node (111), instantiates (201): a) a first proxy-agent (121) of the publisher node (101) in-line between the publisher node (101) and the subscriber node (102), and b) a second proxy-agent (122) of the subscriber node (102) in-line between the publisher node (101) and the subscriber node (102). The first node (111) also instructs (202): i) the first proxy-agent (121) to connect with and subscribe to the publisher node (101), ii) the subscriber node (102) to connect with and subscribe to the second proxy-agent (122), and iii) at least one of the first proxy-agent (121) and the second proxy-agent (122) to establish a connection with each other. Thereby, the first node (111) enables communication exchanges between the nodes (101, 102) via the proxy-agents (121, 122).

A method for reducing the number of connectors for connecting a tablet unit and a base unit is disclosed. The tablet unit includes a system device and a first connector connected to a power line for supplying power from the base unit. The base unit includes a second connector configured to be connected to the first connector when the base unit is combined with the tablet unit. The tablet unit also includes a battery unit capable of supplying power to the system device through the power line. An external power-supply circuit is also capable of supplying power to the system device from an AC/DC adapter through the power line. Since power can be supplied from the battery unit or the AC/DC adapter to the tablet unit through the power line alone, the number of connector terminals can be reduced.
