INTEGRATED NETWORK BROWSER CHIP, NETWORK BROWSER SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR NETWORK DATA COMMUNICATION

摘要

An integrated network browser controller chip (218), network device (202), and network system (204) is disclosed for data transmission and reception over a network. The network browser chip includes a microprocessor (212) for operating a network browser program to connect the network browser chip to the Internet, an on-chip memory for storing the network browser (216) and the operating system program, a communications interface (210) for connecting the network browser chip to the Internet, and a user interface (234) for transferring user instructions to the network browser chip and for transferring data from the network to the user. A network browser device is further disclosed which utilizes a single integrated network browser controller chip (218) for connecting the device to the network (204). A non-networking electronic device is further disclosed which is modified with the integrated network browser controller chip (212) to enable data transmission and reception over the network.
