摘要:
An integrated network browser controller chip (218), network device (202), and network system (204) is disclosed for data transmission and reception over a network. The network browser chip includes a microprocessor (212) for operating a network browser program to connect the network browser chip to the Internet, an on-chip memory for storing the network browser (216) and the operating system program, a communications interface (210) for connecting the network browser chip to the Internet, and a user interface (234) for transferring user instructions to the network browser chip and for transferring data from the network to the user. A network browser device is further disclosed which utilizes a single integrated network browser controller chip (218) for connecting the device to the network (204). A non-networking electronic device is further disclosed which is modified with the integrated network browser controller chip (212) to enable data transmission and reception over the network.
