1. A peripheral device for operation in conjunction with a wireless communication device, the peripheral device comprising:
- a user interface configured to receive user input data;
a communication interface coupled to the user interface, configured to receive information associated with a current display image, said current display image including an actionable item, along with information associated with the actionable item from the wireless communication device, wherein the information associated with the current display image and the information associated with the actionable item is received through a wireless connection, and wherein the information associated with the actionable item is received during a time period while the wireless connection is otherwise idle;
a processor configured to generate the current display image based on the information associated with the current display image received from the wireless communication device; and
a screen coupled to the communication interface, configured to display the current display image,wherein responsive to receiving, by the user interface, a user input selecting the actionable item in the current display image, the processor is configured to generates a subsequent display image based on the information associated with the actionable item received from the wireless communication device, and the display is configured to displays the subsequent display image.
