<p>A wireless terminal (22), companion circuitry for a remote computer (26), and a method for their operation is disclosed. The architecture of the terminal is designed to leverage a high data rate wireless network to remove the necessity for a general-purpose CPU and associated storage devices in the terminal. The terminal (22) wirelessly linked to a centralized server (24) having the CPU and storage capacity to run desired applications. User inputs at the terminal are wirelessly transmitted to the server, which runs the applications and produces a corresponding graphical display output. The display output is digitally compressed and wirelessly transmitted to the terminal. A graphics processor at the terminal decompresses the display output for display at the terminal. When operating in this mode, the wireless terminal can become a lightweight, low power 'virtual PC' or entertainment display device.</p> |
