Abstract: A wireless link between a hand-held or portable device and a display device (projector). The highly optimized, DSP generated, graphic rendering code and JPEG decompression code provides the real-time rendering requirements necessary to offer cable-like connectivity from a remote device to a wireless projector. The projector is capable of receiving, decompressing, decoding, and displaying images in real-time. The system of the present invention incorporates digital signal processor (DSP) accelerated 802.11 compression and encryption capability, which is provided in a standard 802.11 PCMCIA card format. In one application, the hand-held device displays a low-resolution version of a particular image, such as a thumbnail, and may also provide a list of images available for display on the projector at full-resolution. Interactive Codec (coder/decoder) capability for use in remote PC video applications is also provided.

Abstract: A display device (10) for wirelessly receiving internet content, in the form of HTML commands (12), as well as commands for controlling operation of the display device (10). The display device (10) has an embedded processor (22), programmed with a browser to interpret the HTML commands, and additional programming for generating pixel data based on the HTML commands and associated data files. A display engine (26) receives the pixel data and generates displays.
