Abstract

In a communications system that includes a service node connected to an intelligent terminal by means of a limited bandwidth communications means, techniques in a service node and an intelligent terminal provide one or more services to a user of the intelligent terminal. A protocol between the intelligent terminal and the service node allow each application to be variously distributed between these two units. In one aspect of the invention, the protocol may itself by carried on a lower layer protocol that is a limited bandwidth communication channel. The protocol may include the communication of primitives and/or image descriptions between the service node and the intelligent terminal.
