Method and system for a handheld wireless communication device for configuring connection to and use of local and remote resources
First Claim
1. A method for data communication, the method comprising:
- in a handheld wireless communication device;
discovering available local networks and local resources available via said available local networks;
discovering available remote networks and remote resources available via said available remote networks; and
establishing based on user preference criteria stored in said handheld wireless communication device, a route between one or more of said remote available resources and a selected one or more of said local available resources;
wherein;
multimedia data is communicated between said one or more available remote resources and said selected one or more local available resources via said route; and
said multimedia data is consumed utilizing said selected one or more local available resources, wherein said multimedia data is transcoded by at least one of said one or more available remote resources along said route to enable said consumption by said selected one or more available local resources.
