Abstract: A method for streaming dynamically changing user interface data from a server to a client, including resizing user interface data in accordance with a client display, repeatedly transmitting in the form of IP packets, the user interface data in a lossy compression format, for each transmission, if an acknowledgement is received that all packets have been received, then increase the number of IP packets in the next transmission, and if the increased number of IP packets is sufficient to transmit the user interface data in a lossless compression format, then retransmit previously transmitted user interface data in the lossless compression format, including partitioning previously transmitted user interface data into display strips, and for each strip, if the user interface data is unchanged, transmit the strip in the lossless compression format, and if the user interface data has changed, return to the repeatedly transmitting for the changed user interface data.

Abstract: A client-server architecture for providing interactive dumb terminal applications to a plurality of portable electronic devices, including provide a server running an operating system, configure a display timing parameter for the operating system, connect the server with portable electronic devices over a wireless communication system, wherein the server continually monitors bandwidth of each communicative connection, run, by the server, applications in parallel, each application run on behalf of a corresponding one of the devices, each application configured to generate output in accordance with the display timing parameter, run, by the server, an edge application, to select data from the outputs and transmit the selected data to respective ones of the connected devices over the wireless communication system, wherein a frequency of transmission to each device is dynamically throttled up or down by the edge application in accordance with changes in the monitored bandwidth of the connection to that device.
