Abstract
The present invention relates to a wireless interface device and more particularly to a wireless interface device for interfacing with a host computer connected in either a wired or wireless local area network. Once a connection is made between the wireless interface device and a host computer, the host computer is under the control of the wireless interface device. In order to provide a convenient way to return control back to the host computer, a hot icon is provided on the wireless interface device which, in response to a pen-down event, automatically returns the control back to the host computer.
