`
`
`
`
`FIELD OF THE INVENTION
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`invention relates generally to ubiquitous
`The present
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`computing devices and, more particularly, to a system for
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`providing content, management, and interactivity for client
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`devices.
`
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`
`
`The rapid buildup of telecommunications infrastructure
`
`
`
`
`
`
`combined with substantial
`in Internet-based
`investment
`
`
`
`
`
`
`businesses and technology has brought Internet connectivity
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`to a large segment of the population. Recent market statistics
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`show that a majority of households in the U.S. own at least
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`one personal computer (PC), and a significant number of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`these PCs are connected to the Internet. Many households
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`include two or more PCs, as well as various PC productivity
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`peripherals
`such as printers,
`scanners, and the like.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Decreases in the cost of PC components such as micropro-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`cessors, hard disk drives, memory, and displays, have driven
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the commoditization of PCs. Although the majority of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`household PCs are connected to the Internet by dialup
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`modem connections, broadband connectivity is being rap-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`idly adopted, and is decreasing in price as a variety of
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`technologies are introduced and compete in the marketplace.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`A large majority of households in the U.S. and Europe are
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`viable for at least one or more type of broadband connection,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`such as cable, DSL, optical networks, fixed wireless, or
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`two-way satellite transmission.
`
`
`
`A market for home networking technology has emerged,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`driven by the need to share an Internet connection between
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`two or more PCs, and to connect all the PCs to productivity
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`peripherals. There has been innovation in local area network
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`(LAN) technology based on end-user desire for simplicity
`
