Abstract

A computer network comprises at least one provider computer (12), a number of client devices (10) and at least one protocol translator computer (11) through which each client device communicates with the provider computer. Each client device communicates with the translator computer using a thin client transfer protocol while the translator computer communicates with the provider computer using a TCP/IP compatible protocol. The thin client protocol utilizes strings of octants to define specific request and commands. Applications include connection of television sets to computer networks via a set-top box (STB).
