Abstract
A computer arrangement that offloads computationally intensive tasks from portable computer devices to larger servers is disclosed. A portable computer device that relies on handwriting or speech for input is equipped with a wireless communication subsystem. When a user writes on the display or speaks into the portable computer device, the central processing unit passes the handwriting or speech information to the wireless communication subsystem. While the user is still inputting information, the wireless communication subsystem transmits received information to a communication server. The communication server routes the handwriting or speech information to a server that performs handwriting or speech recognition to translate the information into encoded text. The communication server then transmits the encoded text information back to the portable computer device.
