Abstract
Mobile Information Server (MIS) (704) provides mobile information services to network (702). Local data stored in server directory (708) generated from MIS (704), such as image data from imagery device (722) or telemetry data from telemetry device (712), is network accessible through request handler (706). Additionally, MIS (704) provides access to external devices (714-720) via Common Gateway Interface (CGI) 710. Thus, MIS (704) acts as a mobile information server to network (702) for local, or proximately located information sources, even when the user of MIS (704) is not available.
