Abstract
A bypass server is placed in an outgoing link between a mobile device server and a relay used to distribute data from the mobile device server to remote mobile devices to which the data is addressed. Where a direct connection is established between a suitably configured network node (such as a personal computer) and a given mobile device, the bypass server may form a local connection with the network node and divert along the local connection those packets that are addressed to the given mobile device. As such, a lower cost/higher bandwidth local communication path between the given mobile device and the mobile device server may be established, when compared to the conventional remote communication path. The local communication path may be especially useful for bulk data transfers.

21. A method for routing data on a mobile electronic device, the method comprising:
-
establishing a first connection between the mobile electronic device and a server over a direct communication path, and a second connection between the mobile electronic device and the server over a cellular communication path, wherein the first and second connections are operable to send data packets; applying an authentication protocol to the direct communication path; and sending a data packet to the server over the direct communication path, the data packet specifying a destination address of a communication device, wherein the server is operable to redirect the data packet to the destination address. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

32. A mobile electronic device comprising:
-
a processor; a direct communication interface coupled to the processor; a cellular communication interface coupled to the processor; and memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing executable code which when executed by the processor is adapted to; establish a first connection with a server over a direct communication path, and a second connection with the server over a cellular communication path, wherein the first and second connections are operable to send data packets; apply an authentication protocol to the direct communication path; and send a data packet to the server over the direct communication path, the data packet specifying a destination address of a communication device, wherein the server is operable to redirect the data packet to the destination address. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
