Abstract

A system for remotely accessing content of a computer via a mobile device, including a mobile device, a system server for receiving a connection request from the mobile device to establish a connection with a computer, the computer including a plurality of electronic files, software executing on the system server for authenticating the mobile device and the computer, the system server establishing a connection upon authentication, software executing on the computer for receiving a request from the mobile device to send a selected one of the electronic files to a destination device, a translation module for translating a format of the selected electronic files based on a device type of the destination device, and a file transfer module for sending the translated electronic file to the destination device.

Claims

1. A system for remotely accessing content of a computer via a mobile device, comprising:

a mobile device;

a system server for receiving a connection request from said mobile device to establish a connection with a computer, the computer comprising a plurality of electronic files;

software executing on said system server for authenticating said mobile device and the computer, said system server establishing a connection upon authentication;

software executing on the computer for receiving a request from said mobile device to send a selected one of the electronic files to a destination device;

a translation module for translating a format of the selected electronic files based on a device type of the destination device; and

a file transfer module for sending the translated electronic file to the destination device.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the destination device is said mobile device.

3. The system according to claim 1, wherein the destination device is one of a second mobile device and a second computer.

4. The system according to claim 1, wherein said translation module compresses the selected electronic file.

5. The system according to claim 1, wherein said file transfer module sends via at least one of an email and an SMS.

6. The system according to claim 1, wherein said translation module resides on said system server.

7. The system according to claim 1, wherein said translation module resides on the computer.

8. The system according to claim 1, wherein the selected electronic file is a multimedia file.

9. The system according to claim 8, wherein the translated electronic file is continuously streamed by the file transfer module to said mobile device.

10. The system according to claim 1, further comprising:

software executing on said system server for sending a multimedia file from said mobile device to the computer.

11. The system according to claim 1, further comprising:

software executing on the computer for receiving a request from said mobile device to upload content to the computer.

12. The system according to claim 1, wherein said software for authenticating determines a unique key assigned to said mobile device and said computer.

13. The system according to claim 1, further comprising:

software executing on said system server for generating a user interface accessible by said mobile device.

14. The system according to claim 1, wherein said system server receives the connection request and the request to send the selected electronic file via a communication network.

15. A system for remotely accessing content of a computer via a mobile device, comprising:

a mobile device;

a system server for receiving a connection request from said mobile device to establish a connection with a computer, the computer comprising a plurality of electronic files;

software executing on said system server for authenticating said mobile device and the computer, said system server establishing a connection upon authentication;

software executing on the computer for receiving a request from said mobile device to retrieve a selected one of the electronic files;

a translation module for translating a format of the selected electronic files based on at least one parameter of said mobile device; and

a file transfer module for transferring the translated electronic file to said mobile device.

16. The system according to claim 15, wherein the parameter is a device type.

17. The system according to claim 15, wherein the selected electronic file is a multimedia file.

18. The system according to claim 15, wherein the translated electronic file is continuously streamed by said file transfer module to said mobile device.

19. The system according to claim 15, further comprising:

software executing on said system server for generating a user interface accessible by said mobile device, the user interface including one or more selectable icons representing at least some of the electronic files.

20. The system according to claim 15, wherein said software for authenticating receives a unique key assigned to said mobile device and said computer.

21. The system according to claim 15, wherein said translation module compresses the selected electronic file.

22. A method for remotely accessing content of a computer via a mobile device, comprising the steps of:

receiving a connection request from a mobile device to establish a connection with a computer, the computer comprising a plurality of electronic files;

authenticating the mobile device and the computer;

establishing a connection upon authentication;

receiving a request from the mobile device to send a selected one of the electronic files to a destination device;

translating a format of the selected electronic files based on a device type of the destination device; and

sending the translated electronic file to the destination device.

23. The method according to claim 22, wherein said step of receiving the connection request includes receiving the connection request via an Internet-based user interface on the mobile device.

24. The method according to claim 22, wherein the destination device is said mobile device.

25. The method according to claim 22, wherein the destination device is one of a second mobile device and a second computer.
