Abstract: Disclosed is a method that determines the potential impact of software upgrades on a computing device. The method works by detecting the configuration of each device 102(1) – 102(N) on a network 106, including the software and hardware elements present in the devices. Then a query for an upgrade 113 for an application on a device is received. The device configuration 103(1) of the device requesting the update is identified, and other devices that installed the update are identified. The operating history of the behaviour of devices with the update and the profile of the devices are retrieved. The profiles are analysed for hardware and software conflicts with the application, and then determine if the upgrade will potentially cause a failure in the software or hardware present in the first device based operational history of the application and the update in the other devices and the similarity between the profile of the other devices and the device being upgraded. The user is then presented with a recommendation of whether to install the upgrade on their device.

Abstract: A window system of the kind used in personal computers is operable in a portable information terminal which does not have a sufficient processing capability by having input information. such as a key input from an operator, generated in a portable information terminal 210 sent to a remote supporting server 240 where it executes or simulates an arbitrary window system which is free from restriction of functions to generate a rendering image. The supporting server then converts the rendering image to an image suitable to the portable information terminal and sends it back to the portable information terminal 210 as a rendering instruction. The portable information terminal 210 receives the rendering instruction of this optimised image for display.
