1. An apparatus for providing a personal cloud experience, comprising:
- a cloud component at a server for providing communication services to a first computing device, including being configured to allow said first computing device to register with said cloud component, said cloud component configured with;
a user profile and presentation layer processor configured for providing user interfaces (UIs) to an end-user for accessing content on said first computing device;
a connection broker processor configured for managing and facilitating information about said first computing device; and
a relay infrastructure processor configured for delivering said content to a second computing device;
a streamer component at said first computing device for providing to said second computing device access to content at said first computing device, said streamer components configured with;
a streamer functionality processor configured for streaming multimedia;
an access control component processor configured for using predefined profile information to determine which content on said first computing device to allow said second computing device to access; and
an application and control component processor configured for providing support for one or more dedicated applications and add-on'"'"'s without requiring said browser to be used.

13. A computer-implemented method for providing a personal cloud experience, comprising the steps of:
-
providing communication, by a cloud component at a server, services to a first computing device, including allowing said first computing device to register with said cloud component, said cloud component configured with; a user profile and presentation layer processor configured for providing user interfaces (UIs) to an end-user for accessing content on said first computing device; a connection broker processor configured for managing and facilitating information about said first computing device; and a relay infrastructure processor configured for delivering said content to a second computing device; providing, by a streamer component at said first computing device, to said second computing device access to content at said first computing device, said streamer components configured with; a streamer functionality processor configured for streaming multimedia; an access control component processor configured for using predefined profile information to determine which content on said first computing device to allow said second computing device to access; and an application and control component processor configured for providing support for one or more dedicated applications and add-on'"'"'s without requiring said browser to be used. - View Dependent Claims (14)
