Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03085960A1] A method and system for processing and displaying graphics in a communications system (e.g., CATV system) (200). The system (200) includes an auxiliary display device (210) and a set-top box (STB) (205). The STB (205) transmits graphical data to the auxiliary display device (210) over a wireless communications medium (245). The graphical data includes abstracted graphic driver calls. The driver calls are processed in the auxiliary display device (210) using graphic drivers residing in the auxiliary display device (210). Graphics are displayed on a display (235) in the auxiliary display device (210), based on the processed driver calls. User inputs are transmitted from the auxiliary display device (210) to the STB (205) over the wireless communications medium (245). The user inputs are responses to selections presented by the graphics on the display (235) of the auxiliary display device (210).
