Abstract

A network computer (NC) is a lightweight computer system like a thin client. Although a network computer has many advantages, it is less specialized to play multimedia files through network servers. The conventional mode is that network server not only reads but also decodes multimedia data and network computer just plays frames transmitted from network server. This makes network server overloaded. In this paper, we analyze principles of playing multimedia files between NC and network server, and apply cooperating and embedded technology to resolve the problem. Also, the paper details design and implementation of network computer media player and touches upon the future works.
