Abstract
An ultra-thin client network system includes a plurality of ultra-thin clients and a processing center including a processor, a data bus, a concurrency device, and a wireless data connection between the concurrency device and a plurality of ultra-thin clients. The system provides a capability to utilize resources of the processor and shared peripheral devices connected to the processor via the concurrency device by a plurality of users in a home, office, workgroup, or other small network environment.
Claims34
An ultra-thin client network system, comprising:
- a processing center, including:
- a processor;
- a data bus in data communication with the processor;
- a concurrency device, operatively coupled to the data bus;
- a wireless data connection, operatively coupled to the concurrency device;
- and
- a plurality of ultra-thin clients, each further comprising a communication device including a wireless data connection, whereby each of the ultra-thin clients can be in data communication with the concurrency device, and can be located in relation to the processing center without cabling, and can share in a processing capability of the processing center.
An ultra-thin client network system, comprising:
- a processing center, including a processor;
- a system bus connected to the processor;
- a concurrency device connected to the system bus;
- a plurality of ultra-thin clients;
- a plurality of wireless data connections between the concurrency device and the plurality of ultra-thin clients;
- whereby the ultra-thin clients can be conveniently placed in wireless relation to the processor, and use the processing capability of the processor.
A method of providing an ultra-thin client network, comprising the steps of:
- providing a processing center including a processor and a system bus;
- providing for connecting a concurrency device to the system bus to enable connection of multiple ultra-thin clients to the processor;
- providing for connection of the multiple ultra-thin clients to the processing center through the concurrency device;
- providing a wireless connection configured to enable data communication between the concurrency device and the multiple ultra-thin clients;
- and
- configuring the concurrency device and the wireless connection so that the multiple ultra-thin clients can share the processor from remote locations without cabling via the concurrency device and the wireless connection.
