Abstract
Examples of the present invention disclose a virtual mobile phone interface system and method thereof. According to one example, a virtual phone host server collects user phone data and phone interface information from a virtual mobile phone application running on a mobile phone device. Furthermore, a mobile phone emulator is activated on a web browser interface associated with the client device based on the phone interface information and a phone access request received from a user operating a client device.
Claims17
A method for providing a virtual mobile phone interface, the method comprising:
- collecting, via a virtual host server, user phone data and phone interface information from a virtual mobile phone application running on a mobile phone device;
- receiving, at an authentication and control module, an access request associated with the mobile phone from a user operating a client device;
- and
- activating, via the virtual host server, a mobile phone emulator on a browser interface associated with the client device based on the access request and phone interface information;
- and
- wherein the mobile phone emulator is to use the phone interface information to replicate an interface of an operating system as provided on the mobile phone device when the phone interface information was collected.
(canceled)
A system for a virtual mobile phone interface comprising:
- a telecommunication service provider;
- a computing device including a web-based user interface and running a virtual mobile phone application;
- a virtual host server to communicate with the telecommunication service provider, computing device and mobile phone, wherein the service provider is to collect user phone data and phone interface information from the virtual mobile phone application;
- and
- an authentication and control module to control access to the computing device and virtual host server;
- wherein a mobile phone emulator is activated on the web browser interface associated with client device when an access request is received from a user operating the client device, the mobile phone emulator to replicate an interface of an operating system as provided on the mobile phone device when the phone interface information was collected.
(canceled)
A method for providing a virtual mobile phone interface, the method comprising:
- collecting, via a virtual host server, user phone data and phone interface information from a virtual mobile phone application running on a mobile phone device;
- receiving, at an authentication and control module, an access request associated with the mobile phone from a user operating a client device;
- determining, via the authentication and control module, a phone access level based on the access request received from the user;
- retrieving, via the virtual host server, for display on the client device only phone data from the virtual mobile phone host server based on a first access level request;
- disabling the mobile phone device and activating a mobile phone emulator on the client device based on a second access level request from the user;
- wherein the mobile phone emulator is associated with the phone interface information such that the operating interface of the mobile device is replicated on the client device.
