Abstract
A portable user interface that provides remote access to the capabilities of a desktop computer system. The portable user interface includes a base station that obtains image and/or other data from the computer system. The image and/or other data may be generated by any of the wide variety of available applications for the computer system using the powerful resources of the computer system. The base station compresses the data, and transmits the data via a communication link. The portable user interface includes a screen-pad that receives the data via the communication link, decompresses the data, and displays an image defined by the image data and renders other data as appropriate. The screen-pad relays keyboard, mouse, and other data back to the base station via the communication link and the base station provides the data to the computer system as if from a local keyboard and mouse, etc.
