Abstract: A mobile telephone receives, constructs and displays an image from a server over a mobile telephone network. The server determines the parameters for data transfer from the server to the mobile telephone, the capabilities of the mobile telephone, transfer task requirements, and apportions the processing between the server and the mobile telephone for each of a plurality of elements in each image, thereby to meet the task requirement, which can include being within a predetermined time for task completion, or being the fastest means for task completion. Parameters for data transfer from server to telephone include server transmission bandwidth, phone reception bandwidth, data channel bandwidth, transmission protocol, and channel accessibility. Phone capabilities include the data processing speed, the available memory, display size, and the data processing software available; Task requirements include the maximum transmission time and the minimum display resolution of the image.

Abstract: A mobile telephone (10, 20) receives, constructs and displays an image (32) from a server (18) over a mobile telephone network (12, 16, 18) where the server (18) determines the parameters for data transfer from the server (18) to the mobile telephone (10, 20), the capabilities of the mobile telephone (32) transfer task requirements, and apportions the processing between the server and the mobile telephone (10, 20) for each of a plurality of elements (28, 30, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 60, 62) in each image (32), thereby to meet the task requirement, which can include being within a predetermined time for task completion, or being the fastest means for task completion. Parameters for data transfer from server (18) to telephone (10, 20) include server (18) transmission bandwidth, phone (10, 20) reception bandwidth, data channel bandwidth, transmission protocol; and channel accessibility.

Abstract: A graphic user interface is provided on a mobile telephone (10) having a screen (12) and control buttons (14) which move and select choices. The screen (12) comprises a viewing area (18), for viewing icons (16), a context area (20) and a selection area (22). A first icon (16), in the viewing area (18), has associated choices (24) displayed. Movement of a choice (24) into the selection area (22) causes the selected item (30) to become the selected second icon (30) in the wiewing area (18), the choices (24B) of the second icon (30) are displayed, and the first icon (16) moves up the context area (20), showing precedence over the second icon (30). Selection (22) of a choice (24B) from the second icon causes a third icon (36) to be in the viewing area (18), the first icon (16) to move further up the context area (20), the second icon (30) to join the first icon (16) in the context area, and further choices (24C) to be displayed for the third icon (36). The sequence of operations continues for further icons.

Abstract: An inkjet printer has a print head unit with four parallel rows of nozzles each row being able to receive an ink of a different color. The length of each row is less than the length of the print head unit. A number of print head units may be aligned together to provide elongate arrays of nozzles. The nozzle spacing along the array is non-uniform in that the inter-nozzle spacing within the rows is less than the inter-row spacing between neighboring print head units. In operation each print head unit deposits a non-contiguous swath on the paper and then all the units are moved an equal distance and a further swath printed thereby interleaving the swaths. A method of supplying ink and an ink supply member are also provided.
