Abstract
A portable display tablet is operated in conjunction with a base computer system including a host processor for executing an application program with an operational function that generates graphics data and operates in response to input data. The computer system includes a wireless data transceiver coupled to the processor that is capable of communicating the graphics and input data between the computer and portable display tablet. The portable display tablet includes a graphics display panel for displaying the graphical data, a low power wireless data transceiver providing short range data communication of the graphics and input data between the base computer system and portable display tablet, and a controller, embedded within the portable display tablet and coupled to the low power wireless data transceiver, that executes a control program to process the graphics data to provide the graphical display data to the graphics display panel.
