Mobile server connection
First Claim
1. A computing server, comprising:
- computing memory having stored therein computer instructions that, upon execution by one or more processors, at least cause the computing system to perform operations comprising;
providing a wireless local area network;
receiving via the wireless local area network at a web server accessible at a defined port a request from a device to identify services available at the computing server;
in response to receiving the request to identify services available, generating and transmitting via the wireless local area network to the device a list of services available on the computing server, the list of services comprising at least one pre-configured service accessible on a third party network via the computing server;
receiving, via the wireless local area network at the web server accessible at the defined port, a request from the device for access to a service in the list of services available on the computing server, the request specifying the at least one pre-configured service accessible on a third party network via the computing server;
providing the requested access to the at least one pre-configured service accessible on a third party network via the computing server;
receiving an indication the device is performing a first processing function;
receiving an indication a change has occurred in the available resources of the device; and
in response to the indication that a change has occurred in the available resources of the device, providing the device via the wireless local area network access to the first processing function and instructing the device to cease performing the first processing function on the device.

Abstract
A mobile server adapted to provide access to services via a wireless network to devices in proximity of the mobile server is disclosed. The mobile server comprises a web server that receives input at a predefined port. The mobile server generates a WiFi network that is used to communicate data between the mobile server and the devices. Devices are provisioned with information to recognize the WiFi network and communicate requests for functionality to the web server at the predefined port. The mobile server provides access to the requested functionality via the WiFi network. The mobile server may automatically assign particular devices to perform particular functions based upon the operating characteristics of the devices.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer instructions that, upon execution by one or more processors, at least cause a mobile server to perform operations comprising:
-
providing a wireless local area network for accessing services via the mobile server, the mobile server adapted to provide to devices via the wireless local area network access to at least a first function; receiving an indication a first device is in proximity of the mobile server and has first operating characteristics, the first device programmed to perform the first function; receiving an indication a second device is in proximity to the mobile server and has second operating characteristics, the second device programmed to perform the first function; determining based upon the first operating characteristics and the second operating characteristics to identify one of the first device and the second device to perform the first function; communicating to the identified one of the first device and the second device to perform the first function; receiving an indication the first operating characteristics have changed; receiving an indication the second operating characteristics have changed; determining based upon the changed first operating characteristics and the changed second operating characteristics to identify a different one of the first device and the second device to perform the first function; and communicating to the identified different one of the first device and the second device to perform the first function. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
