Abstract
A wireless interface device for interfacing with a host computer connected in either a wired or wireless local area network (LAN). The wireless interface device includes a display that mirrors whatever is being displayed on the host computer to which it is connected. In order to reduce unnecessary LAN traffic, any screen savers running on the host computer are automatically disabled when a radio connection is made between the host computer and the wireless interface device. When the wireless interface device is disconnected from the host computer, the screen saver running on the host computer is automatically re-enabled.
