  • Patent number: 7280087
    Abstract: The present invention provides a display controller driving multiple browser displays, which are associated with user input devices. Preferably, the display controller runs a browser application for each display and receives input from each user input device. Primary control for the browser applications is provided by a control application located remotely from the display controller. The user input is forwarded to the control application, which will process the user input and provide instructions to the corresponding browser application to request content from a web server application. The control application may also provide instructions unrelated to the user input to control any one or all of the browser applications.
