Abstract. Due to the limited resources in thin-clients on mobile devices
and the large amount of computation for decoding streaming media, it
is not easy to support the QoS of streaming media for thin-client on
mobile environment. To solve the problems, the terminal servers would
be charged for decoding the streaming media and thin-clients have a
role to update only the changed areas in their screen. In this paper, an
intelligent media player is proposed to provide the improved QoS for
streaming media in thin-client computing. Since the proposed method
reflects the intrinsic property of streaming media, it provides both the
enhanced video quality and the audio streaming fully synchronized with
image frames.
