Abstract

A method and a device for selecting a function which is implemented at a terminal of the device. The device includes a processor and a first function path over which a first function is implemented, and includes at least one other function path over which another function is implemented. The function paths run over at least two different terminals of the processor, and the at least two function paths are connected and are routed directly to the single terminal of the device. The selection of the function to be implemented is made by a predefinable code, and the at least second function is suppressed.
