Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving digital content at a server, from a computer, utilizing a long range communication channel, the digital content being digital content transmitted from a mobile device to the computer directly utilizing a local network without transmission through a mobile network;
- transferring the digital content from the server to a final destination, where the final destination as well as authorization for the transferring is provided from the computer by a user utilizing an interface provided by the server;
- authenticating a computer application running on the computer with a username and password at the server, and authenticating information from the mobile device at the server, wherein the authentication of the computer application involves an identification of the mobile device which includes one or more of a Bluetooth address, a private key, and an IMEI;
- and
- receiving credentials of the user at the server for verification.
