Personal communicator

The invention is essentially a flat panel display, preferably for use with wearable computers, which utilizes a display which is separate from the CPU, which can perform as a static flat panel display when connected to or in communication with the computer, but can also function as a thin client PDA when independent from the computer to which it was originally connected. The device will look and function as a flat panel display and include integral activation means either through stylus, touch panel, integrated pointing device, voice, or other activation means. This activation means will be available whether the device is functioning as a display or as a thin client PDA. The device will be small enough to be worn, carried or otherwise supported by the user, but can be utilized independently as a PDA to perform data input, calendars and scheduling, memo inputting and other thin client functions, and will run a thin client operating system such as Windows&reg; CE or Palm&reg; OS. The enclosure itself will contain hardware sufficient to support display functions as well as a thin client motherboard. It will also contain either a wired or wireless communication bus for communicating data to the computer from which it was disconnected. Additionally, it will possess a standard or proprietary video input plug for displaying output from the underlying computer.

Dual FPD and thin client

This invention involves the use of a number of component-containing modules each assembled together to form a conventional computer except that the computer is body worn and has heat-controlling aspects. One of the heat-controlling aspects is at least one or preferably each side of the module has a heat-air vent as a component of its side. Another heat-controlling item is the selection of heat or non-heat conducting materials to construct the module sides. It is preferable that module sides adjacent a user's body be of a heat-insulating material.
