MODULAR PRESENTATION DEVICE FOR USE WITH PDA'S AND SMARTPHONES

摘要

A modular computer system (20) including a universal connectivity station (UCS) (22) having a processor (42) interconnecting a plurality of physically remote modules including a PDA (36) and Smartphone (38), and a display (34). Each module of the modular computer system (20) appear to each device to be interconnected to the other. The UCS (22) enables the PDA (36) and Smartphone (38) to drive the display (38). The UCS (22) is also connectable to a data network via a network interface (54). External control devices including a keyboard (50) and mouse (52) may also control the UCS (22). The UCS (22) may translate the keyboard inputs to keystrokes, and mouse movements clicks to cursor movements and stylus taps for visually rendering on the PDA and Smartphone.
