Abstract

Methods and systems for wireless communication are disclosed and may include generating via a wireless mobile communication device (WMCD), persistent remote agents (PRAs) that may be enabled to perform one or more tasks. The PRAs may be communicated to remote devices to perform the tasks. The preferences of a user of the WMCD may be incorporated into the PRAs. The result of the tasks may be received by the WMCD from the remote devices. The PRAs may be communicated from the WMCD to the remote devices via one of a plurality of wireless protocols. At least one additional PRA may be spawned from the PRAs at the remote devices, and may be communicated to additional remote devices. The tasks may be performed by the PRAs periodically. The WMCD may communicate a message to the remote devices to initiate performance of the tasks by the PRAs.

Claims

1. A method for wireless communication, the method comprising:

generating via a wireless mobile communication device, one or more persistent remote agents that are enabled to perform one or more tasks; and

communicating said generated one or more persistent remote agents to one or more remote devices to perform said one or more tasks.

2. The method according to claim 1, comprising incorporating preferences of a user of said wireless mobile communication device into said generated one or more persistent remote agents.

3. The method according to claim 2, comprising storing said preferences on said wireless mobile communication device.

4. The method according to claim 2, comprising storing said preferences externally to said wireless mobile communication device.

5. The method according to claim 1, comprising receiving at said wireless mobile communication device, a result of said one or more tasks from said one or more remote devices.

6. The method according to claim 1, comprising communicating said one or more persistent remote agents from said wireless mobile communication device to said one or more remote devices via one of a plurality of wireless protocols.

7. The method according to claim 1, comprising spawning at said one or more remote devices, at least one additional persistent remote agents from said one or more generated persistent remote agent.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein said spawned at least one additional persistent remote agent are communicated to one or more additional remote devices.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein said at least one additional persistent remote agent performs one or more additional tasks at said one or more additional remote devices.

10. The method according to claim 9, comprising receiving by said wireless mobile communication device, additional results for said one or more additional tasks from said at least one additional persistent remote agent.

11. The method according to claim 9, comprising receiving by said one or more remote devices, additional results for said one or more additional tasks from said at least one additional persistent remote agent.

12. The method according to claim 11, comprising receiving by said wireless mobile communication device, said additional results for said one or more additional tasks from said at least one additional persistent remote agent at said one or more remote devices.

13. The method according to claim 1, wherein said one or more tasks is performed by said generated one or more persistent remote agents periodically.

14. The method according to claim 1, comprising communicating a message from said wireless mobile communication device to said one or more remote devices to initiate performance of said one or more tasks by said generated one or more persistent remote agents.

15. The method according to claim 1, comprising determining whether said one or more remote devices comprises available resources for handling execution of said generated one or more persistent remote agents.

16. A system for wireless communication, the system comprising:

one or more processors in a wireless mobile communication device that enable generation of one or more persistent remote agents that are enabled to perform one or more tasks; and

said one or more processors enable communication of said generated one or more persistent remote agents to one or more remote devices to perform said one or more tasks.

17. The system according to claim 16, wherein said one or more processors enable incorporation of preferences of a user of said wireless mobile communication device into said generated one or more persistent remote agents.

18. The system according to claim 17, wherein said one or more processors enable storage of said preferences on said wireless mobile communication device.

19. The system according to claim 17, wherein said one or more processors enable storage of said preferences externally to said wireless mobile communication device.

20. The system according to claim 16, wherein said one or more processors enable receiving at said wireless mobile communication device, a result of said one or more tasks from said one or more remote devices.

21. The system according to claim 16, wherein said one or more processors enable communication of said one or more persistent remote agents from said wireless mobile communication device to said one or more remote devices via one of a plurality of wireless protocols.

22. The system according to claim 16, wherein said one or more processors enable spawning at said one or more remote devices, at least one additional persistent remote agents from said one or more generated persistent remote agent.

23. The system according to claim 22, wherein said spawned at least one additional persistent remote agent are communicated to one or more additional remote devices.

24. The system according to claim 23, wherein said at least one additional persistent remote agent performs one or more additional tasks at said one or more additional remote devices.

25. The system according to claim 24, wherein said one or more processors enable receiving by said wireless mobile communication device, additional results for said one or more additional tasks from said at least one additional persistent remote agent.

26. The system according to claim 24, wherein said one or more processors enable receiving by said one or more remote devices, additional results for said one or more additional tasks from said at least one additional persistent remote agent.

27. The system according to claim 26, wherein said one or more processors enable receiving by said wireless mobile communication device, said additional results for said one or more additional tasks from said at least one additional persistent remote agent at said one or more remote devices.

28. The system according to claim 16, wherein said one or more tasks is performed by said generated one or more persistent remote agents periodically.

29. The system according to claim 16, wherein said one or more processors enable communication of a message from said wireless mobile communication device to said one or more remote devices to initiate performance of said one or more tasks by said generated one or more persistent remote agents.

30. The system according to claim 16, wherein said one or more processors enable determination of whether said one or more remote devices comprises available resources for handling execution of said generated one or more persistent remote agents.
