Abstract

Disclosed are methods, circuits, devices, systems and associated computer executable code for facilitating local hosting and access of internet based information. Zone Specific Hosting Server(s) host content associated with a specific zone of a wireless or cellular network, while Zone Specific Domain Name System Server(s) store Domain Name System records of content stored on the Zone Specific Hosting Server(s). A Hosting Deployment System deploys content to one or more of the Zone Specific Hosting Server(s) and updates the records of the Zone Specific Domain Name System Server(s) in accordance, and a Transparent Breakout Engine allows access and directs client devices of the wireless or cellular network to content hosted on the Zone Specific Hosting Server(s) based on the Zone Specific Domain Name System Server(s) records.

Claims

1. A system for facilitating local hosting and access of content, said system comprising:

one or more Zone Specific Hosting (ZSH) Server(s) to host content associated with a specific zone of a wireless or cellular network;

one or more Zone Specific Domain Name System (ZSDNS) Server(s) to store records of content stored on one or more of said one or more ZSH Server(s); and

a Hosting Deployment System (HDS) to deploy content to one or more of said ZSH Server(s) and update records of one or more of said ZSDNS Server(s) in accordance.

2. The system according to claim 1, further comprising a Transparent Breakout (TB) Engine to provide a User Equipment (UE) client device access to content from outside the wireless or cellular network in the event that the requested content is not hosted on said ZSH Server(s) as per ZSDNS Server(s) records.

3. The system according to claim 1, wherein said Hosting Deployment System (HDS) further verifies and approves content to be deployed to ZSH Server(s).

4. The system according to claim 1, wherein said Hosting Deployment System (HDS) further comprises an E-commerce Bidding Engine to present financial offers for zone specific hosting services, accept financial bids for offered services from content/application up-loaders/publishers, and select winning bids.

5. The system according to claim 1, further comprising a Zone Specific Billing (ZSB) Server to monitor access and usage of content hosted on the ZSH Server(s) of a specific network zone and to accordingly handle zone specific billing tasks.

6. The system according to claim 1, further comprising a Website/Application Sync/Update Service to monitor and relay data indicative of changes made to content hosted on ZSH Server(s), to corresponding externally stored versions of the same content.

7. A method for facilitating local hosting and access of content, said method comprising:

deploying and hosting content associated with a specific zone of a wireless or cellular network to one or more Zone Specific Hosting (ZSH) Server(s); and

updating records of one or more Zone Specific Domain Name System (ZSDNS) Server(s) in accordance with the deployment of the zone specific associated content.

8. The method according to claim 7, further comprising providing a User Equipment (UE) client device access to content from outside the wireless or cellular network in the event that the requested content is not hosted on the ZSH Server(s) as per ZSDNS Server(s) records.

9. The method according to claim 7, further comprising verifying and approving content to be deployed to the ZSH Server(s).

10. The method according to claim 7, further comprising:

presenting financial offers for zone specific hosting services;

accepting financial bids for offered services from content/application up-loaders/publishers; and

selecting winning bids.

11. The method according to claim 7, further comprising monitoring access and usage of content hosted on the ZSH Server(s) of a specific network zone and accordingly handling zone specific billing tasks.

12. The method according to claim 7, further comprising monitoring and relaying data indicative of changes made to content hosted on the ZSH Server(s) to corresponding externally stored versions of the same content.
