Abstract
A method, system, apparatus and computer program product for portable networking of multi-user applications for users of hand-held terminals. More specifically, the present invention utilizes a portable server with a mass memory for storing multi-user data used by users of the hand-held terminals. The server has the capability of storing various types of multi-user data and transmitting the data to a user of a terminal upon request. Using the present invention, terminals have increased flexibility for receiving and utilizing multi-user data without requiring large amounts of memory within the terminal itself.
Claims42
A system for portable networking of multi-user applications, comprising:
- at least one wireless terminal;
- and
- a portable server including a mass memory module to store and communicate data to said at least one wireless terminal;
- wherein a wireless protocol communicates the data between said server and said at least one wireless terminal via a wireless link.
An apparatus for portable networking of multi-user applications, comprising:
- a battery to supply power to the electrical components of said portable server;
- a charging system in communication with said battery for charging said battery;
- a mass memory module for storing data used by at least one wireless terminal;
- at least one processor in communication with said mass memory for locating and retrieving data stored in said mass memory module;
- and
- wireless interface for executing a wireless protocol and communicating the data between said mass memory and at least one wireless terminal.
The method for portable networking of multi-user application, comprising:
- storing multi-user data in the mass memory of portable server;
- initiating wireless communication between said portable server and at least one wireless terminal device;
- transmitting data stored in said mass memory to said wireless terminal device using a wireless protocol;
- and
- executing of said multi-user data by said terminal device transmitted by said portable server.
A computer program product for portable networking of multi-user applications, comprising:
- a computer readable medium;
- program code in said computer readable medium storing multi-user data in the mass memory of portable server;
- program code in said computer readable medium initiating wireless communication between said portable server and at least one wireless terminal device;
- program code in said computer-readable medium for communicating data stored in said mass memory to at least one said wireless terminal device using a wireless protocol for execution by said wireless terminal.
