Abstract: A cellular phone, which is still compact in size and weight, but which also includes a mechanism for displaying received wireless data in its original page format as sent from the original source, thus allowing for the viewing of each original page as a whole page and not as a series of partial pages. The phone also allows the display of received wireless visual data with characters in their true original size, thus allowing for ease of reading and use. The mechanism for displaying data may also be used to display data which is to be transmitted by way of the cellular phone. A cellular phone is provided with an internal optical projector incorporated into the body of the phone so that an original page of visual data can be projected onto a larger surface external to the cellular phone. The external surface is larger than the surface area of the cellular phone's own electronic display, and sufficiently large to maintain the original page format and character size. This is accomplished by providing the circuitry inside the cellular phone with the ability to display the received wireless data representing the visual image on the built-in display of the cellular phone using conventional display device drivers, as well as on an external surface utilizing an internal optical projector which then projects the original image onto the external directed surface. An auto focus capability or manual focus dial is provided to allow for sharp imaging on the external surface. A computer mouse or other manipulation device or user input device may be provided on the surface of the cellular phone so that as the projected image is viewed it can be controlled through visual icons or edited as on a regular electronic screen.

Abstract: A mechanism for the remote distribution/installation of computer programs from a source to a number of target computers. The computer programs are transferred as packages identified in a package list. Attempt numbers for retrying a push mode and a pull mode distribution are pre-specified. A next package is identified in the package list and it is checked if a target computer is available. If it is available then installation of the package on the target computer is started. Otherwise, if at least one push mode attempt is left, a next push mode is resumed and rescheduled and, if no push mode attempt is left, but at least one pull mode attempt is left, a next pull mode distribution is resumed and rescheduled. The mechanism particularly proposes a queue manager that activates a request, i.e., moves the request from a request queue into an active queue, and has implemented throttling that balances the load during a software distribution/installation.
