Method, system and devices for wireless data storage on a server and data retrieval
First Claim
1. A wireless data storage system, comprising:
- (a) a user terminal having a wireless communications interface;
(b) a base station configured for wireless communication with said user terminal;
(c) a data server configured for communicating with said user terminal through said base station; and
(d) means associated with said data server for receiving and storing data transmitted by said user terminal for subsequent retrieval;
(e) wherein data stored by said data server includes a user profile corresponding to a user of said user terminal; and
(f) wherein said user profile defines parameters comprising one or more types of content to be sent to said user terminal, one or more specific data sources for content to be sent to said user terminal, and the type of data and time said data is to be transmitted to said user terminal.

Abstract
A method and system for remotely storing data on a server through a wireless connection instead of storing data locally in a consumer device, as well as devices for use with the method and system. More particularly, a video camera, still camera, laptop computer, or other consumer device which normally stores data in local memory such as film, disk, random access memory, memory sticks, or other forms of storage would transmit the data to a remote server through a wireless connection. The data would be saved on the remote server for subsequent retrieval through, for example, the Internet or a wireless connection to the server. In addition, data not originating from the user device could be downloaded to the consumer device. The data to be retrieved can be specified by the user, or sent to the user according to a user profile stored on the server.
