Abstract: In order to provide a home user with cost-effective PC processing capability, the home user is provided with a terminal which has only sufficient processing capability to communicate with a service provider over a network. Any processing and program execution is performed, in response to requests from the home user's terminal, by the service provider and the results are returned to the terminal. In addition to the processing capability, data is stored in the service provider. Because the processing and data storage is performed by the service provider, changes to the programs and/or hardware can the confined to the processing resources of the service provider. In addition, the service provider can be provided with virus and hacking protection, protection that will then not be necessary for the home user's terminal. In this manner, the home user can be charged for only the facilities and software that are actually used, while having available the full capability of a personal computer without the initial cost of a home computer, the on-going cost of maintenance, and the cost of upgrading hardware and software. The communication link can be a secure link.

Abstract translation: 为了向家庭用户提供具有成本效益的PC处理能力，家庭用户被提供有仅具有足够的处理能力的终端，以通过网络与服务提供商进行通信。 响应于来自家庭用户终端的请求，由服务提供商执行任何处理和程序执行，并将结果返回到终端。 除了处理能力之外，数据也存储在服务提供商中。 由于处理和数据存储由服务提供商执行，所以对程序和/或硬件的改变可以限于服务提供商的处理资源。 此外，服务提供商可以提供病毒和黑客保护，然后对家庭用户终端不需要保护。 以这种方式，家庭用户可以仅在实际使用的设施和软件的同时，在没有家用计算机的初始成本的情况下具有个人计算机的全部能力，正在进行的维护成本以及 升级硬件和软件的成本。 通信链路可以是一个安全的链路。

Abstract: In an optical image acquisition and information transmission system, the system components can be fabricated, according to a first implementation, in a stack positioned on a circuit board. According to a second implementation, the system components are fabricated on a single substrate using the same semiconductor processes for each component. Both implementations result in better performance parameters. These systems are particularly useful as control devices wherein information resulting from processing the acquired image rather than the image itself is transmitted.
