Abstract
With the continuous development of science and technology, the intelligent development of community system becomes a trend. Meanwhile, smart mobile devices and cloud computing technology are increasingly used in intelligent information systems; however, smart mobile devices such as smartphone and smart pad, also known as thin clients, limited by either their capacities (CPU, memory or battery) or their network resources, do not always meet users' satisfaction in using mobile services. Mobile cloud computing, in which resource-rich virtual machines of smart mobile device are provided to a customer as a service, can be terrific solution for expanding the limitation of real smart mobile device, but the resources utilization rate is low and the information cannot be shared easily. To address the problems above, this paper proposes an information system for intelligent community, which is composed of thin clients, wide band network and cloud computing servers. On one hand, the thin clients with the characteristics of energy efficiency, high robustness and high computing capacity can efficiently avoid the problems encountered in the PC architecture and mobile devices. On the other hand, the cloud computing servers in the proposed information system solve the problems of resource sharing barriers. Finally, the system is built in real environments to evaluate the performance. We deploy the proposed system in a community with more than 2000 residents, and it is demonstrated that the proposed system is robust and efficient.

Summary
At the beginning of the computer era, users logged on to one centralized mainframe computer that had all the processing power, using simple terminals. The massive growth of mobile devices has led to a significant change in the users' computer and internet usage, along with the dramatic development of mobile services, or mobile computing Smart mobile devices such as smartphone and smart pad have rapidly pervaded our everyday life, these devices are limited by either their capacities (CPU, memory or battery) or their network resources, because of their relatively high prices and small display screen, these devices are inconvenient to be deployed in large areas such as community, offices and factories. How to get the resource and storage according to the demand is a critical and realistic problem Faced with these problems, this paper proposes an intelligent community information system, which is based on the architecture of thin clients, wide band network and cloud computing servers, aiming at the direction of new information technologies represented by cloud computing, intelligent terminals, embedded system and etc.
