Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for managing data in a networked communication system. In particular, certain embodiments of the disclosed subject matter include an apparatus having a processor configured to run a module stored in memory that is configured to receive a first data request requesting the apparatus to provide contents of a data file, to determine that the data file is associated with a remote data file at the server, and based on the determination, to send a second data request to the server to provide the data file to the apparatus, and to receive a response to the second data request from the server, the response including the contents of the data file.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer readable medium having executable instructions operable to cause a data processing apparatus to:
- provide, to a user interface coupled to the data processing apparatus, a list of data files, the data files including at least one remote data file and at least one local data file, wherein the at least one remote data file is provided to the user interface as a local data file;
- receive, from the user interface, a first data request requesting the data processing apparatus to provide contents of a data file;
- determine that the requested data file is a remote data file that is maintained at a server;
- based on the determination, send a second data request via a computer network to the server, requesting the server to provide the data file to the data processing apparatus;
- and
- receive a response to the second data request from the server, the response including the contents of the data file.
An apparatus comprising:
- a user interface configured to provide and receive data;
- one or more interfaces configured to provide communication with a server via a communication network;
- and
- a processor, in communication with the one or more interfaces, and configured to run a module stored in memory that is configured:
- to provide, to the user interface, a list of data files including at least one remote data file and at least one local data file, wherein the at least one remote data file is provided to the user interface as a local data file,
- to receive, from the user interface, a first data request requesting the apparatus to provide a contents of a data file,
- to determine that the data file is associated with a remote data file at the server,
- based on the determination, to send a second data request to the server to provide the remote data file to the apparatus, and
- to receive a response to the second data request from the server, the response including the contents of the data file.
A method comprising:
- providing, to a user interface coupled to an apparatus, a list of data files, the data files including at least one remote data file and at least one local data file, wherein the at least one remote data file is provided to the user interface as a local data file;
- receiving, at the apparatus from the user interface, a first data request requesting to provide contents of a data file;
- determining that the requested data file is a remote data file that is stored at a server;
- based on the determination, sending a second data request via a computer network to the server, requesting the server to provide the data file to the apparatus;
- and
- receiving a response to the second data request from the server, the response including the contents of the data file.
