Abstract

Methods and systems for a persistent request generated by a wireless device, executed remotely and output to configurable local resources are disclosed and may include generating via a handheld wireless communication device (HWCD) a persistent request for a user that may be communicated to remote devices for execution and storage of results. The stored results may be received from local resources local which may be configured by the remote devices based on user preferences to deliver the stored results to the user. The stored results may be received by the user via the HWCD or another wireless communication device, and the identity of the user may be authenticated prior to receiving the stored results. The remote devices may discover the local resources based on the detection of the user logging into the network. User preferences may be stored in networked devices or may be stored in the HWCD.

Claims

1. A method for communicating in a network, the method comprising:

generating for a particular user via a handheld wireless communication device, a persistent request that is communicated to one or more remote devices for execution and storage of results over a period of time, said results corresponding to said persistent request; and

subsequently receiving said stored results corresponding to said persistent request, by one or more resources that are separate from said handheld wireless communication device and that are local to said particular user, for consumption by said one or more resources local to said particular user, wherein said persistent request configures said one or more local resources to receive said stored results from said one or more remote devices for said particular user

wherein said one or more remote devices detects when said particular user is logged into the network and discovers said one or more local resources based on said detection of said particular user logging into the network.

2. The method according to claim 1, comprising authenticating an identity of said particular user prior to said receiving said stored results by said one or more resources local to said particular user.

3. The method according to claim 1, comprising receiving said stored results for said particular user via another wireless communication device.

4. The method according to claim 3, comprising authenticating an identity of said particular user prior to said receiving said stored results by said one or more resources local to said particular user.

5. A method for communicating in a network, the method comprising:

generating for a particular user via a handheld wireless communication device, a persistent request that is communicated to one or more remote devices for execution and storage of results corresponding to said persistent request over a period of time; and

subsequently receiving said stored results corresponding to said persistent request, by one or more resources that are separate from said handheld wireless communication device and that are local to said particular user, for consumption by said one or more resources local to said particular user, wherein said persistent request configures said one or more local resources to receive said stored results from said one or more remote devices for said particular user and to deliver said stored results to said one or more resources local to said particular user based on discovery of said one or more local resources.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein said persistent request configures said one or more local resources based on preferences associated with said particular user.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein said preferences associated with said particular user are stored in one or more devices that are communicatively coupled to said network.

8. The method according to claim 6, wherein said preferences associated with said particular user are stored in said handheld wireless communication device.

9. The method according to claim 5, comprising subsequently receiving said stored results when said stored results become available.

10. A system for communicating in a network, the system comprising:

one or more processors within a handheld wireless communication device that generates for a particular user, a persistent request that is communicated to one or more remote devices for execution and storage of results corresponding to said persistent request over a period of time,

wherein said persistent request enables subsequently receiving of said stored results corresponding to said persistent request, by one or more resources that are separate from said handheld wireless communication device and that are local to said particular user, for consumption by said one or more resources local to said particular user,

wherein said persistent request configures said one or more local resources to receive said stored results for said particular user,

wherein said one or more processors enables authentication of an identity of said particular user prior to said receiving said stored results by said one or more resources local to said particular user via said handheld wireless communication device.

11. The system according to claim 10, wherein said stored results for said particular user are received via another wireless communication device.

12. The system according to claim 11, wherein an identity of said particular user is authenticated prior to said receiving said stored results by said one or more resources local to said particular user.

13. The system according to claim 10, wherein said one or more remote devices detects when said particular user is logged into the network.

14. The system according to claim 13, wherein said one or more remote devices discovers said one or more local resources based on said detection of said particular user logging into the network.

15. The system according to claim 14, wherein said persistent request configures said one or more remote devices to deliver said stored results to said one or more resources local to said particular user based on said discovery of said one or more local resources.

16. The system according to claim 15, wherein said persistent request configures said one or more local resources based on preferences associated with said particular user.

17. The system according to claim 16, wherein said preferences associated with said particular user are stored in one or more devices that are communicatively coupled to said network.

18. The system according to claim 16, wherein said preferences associated with said particular user are stored in said handheld wireless communication device.
