Diameter $AB$ is drawn to a circle with radius $1$. Two straight lines $s$ and $t$ touch the circle at points $A$ and $B$, respectively. Points $P$ and $Q$ are chosen on the lines $s$ and $t$, respectively, so that the line $PQ$ touches the circle. Find the smallest possible area of the quadrangle $APQB$.
