Abstract
The present invention provides for transferring user interface information from a host computing device to an electronic device that typically has limited resources. A request to open a session of an application is received. In response to the request, a host computer opens a session for generating user interface information. A video codec is then utilized for dynamically converting at least a portion of the user interface information into a video data stream, which is capable of being processed at the electronic device by a video processor. The video data stream is then transmitted to the electronic device for displaying the user interface.
