摘要： A docking station for a portable computer includes a wireless transceiver for wireless communication with the portable computer. The docking station also includes a plurality of ports. Each port includes a physical connector for connection to, for example, one or more peripheral devices, a network or a monitor. A translation manager within the docking station manages translation of information transferred between the wireless transceiver and the plurality of ports.

摘要： An information retrieval device displays portions of a dynamically modifiable document requested by a user. The information retrieval device has a controller connected to a display screen, input selector switches, such as buttons, and memory, such as non-volatile flash memory. One or more documents, such as a newspaper or magazine, is stored in the memory. A receiver, such as a pager, modem, or FM radio receiver, is connected to and dynamically updates the memory. When the device is turned on, a first portion of a document is displayed on a display screen. When the user wants to see a different portion of the document, or a different document altogether, she presses one of the buttons. Upon detection that a button was enabled, an action is performed that changes the display on the display screen. The action performed can vary in complexity: it may simply cause the next page of the document to be displayed, or may execute a nested hypertext link to cause related information contained in the same or a different document to update only a portion of the display screen. The document is stored in the memory in a manner that allows the display screen to be refreshed directly from the memory. When an updated portion of a document is received by the receiver, that portion of memory is updated.

摘要翻译： 信息检索装置显示用户请求的动态可修改文档的部分。 信息检索装置具有连接到显示屏的控制器，诸如按钮的输入选择器开关和诸如非易失性闪存的存储器。 一个或多个文件，例如报纸或杂志，被存储在存储器中。 诸如寻呼机，调制解调器或FM无线电接收机的接收机被连接到并动态地更新存储器。 当设备打开时，文档的第一部分被显示在显示屏幕上。 当用户想要看到文档的不同部分或完全不同的文档时，她按下其中一个按钮。 一旦检测到按钮被启用，则执行改变显示屏幕上的显示的动作。 所执行的动作可以在复杂性方面变化：它可以简单地导致文档的下一页被显示，或者可以执行嵌套超文本链接以使得包含在相同或不同文档中的相关信息仅更新显示屏幕的一部分 。 该文档以允许从存储器直接刷新显示屏幕的方式存储在存储器中。 当接收者接收到文档的更新部分时，更新该部分内存。
