Abstract

Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for implementing an external module comprising new and/or offloaded processing functionality. In aspects, an external module may be configured to be selectively and communicatively coupled to an information appliance device. The external module may be configured with or receive hardware, software, data and/or instructions for processing content and operations received by the information appliance device. When operations are received by the information appliance device, the information appliance device may parse the operations into commands to be performed by the information appliance device and commands to be performed by the external module. The information appliance device may transmit the commands to be performed by the external module to the external module. The external module may then process and/or perform the received commands and render the resulting content to a display device.
