Title:
MICROPROCESSOR SYSTEMS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006067435
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A distribution medium (20) for providing an application to a host system (4) includes an interface element (21) for interfacing with the host (4), a memory or storage module (22) that stores application code representing the application and a hardware element (23). The hardware element (23) directly accesses application content stored in the memory (22), processes that application content to transform it to another form, and then provides the transformed content to the host system (4).
