Copying data onto an expandable memory
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computing device comprising:
- an expandable memory interface configured to couple an expandable memory to the computing device;
a transceiver configured to receive, over a network, one or more files that are to be written to the expandable memory;
a file daemon module configured to write the received one or more files to the expandable memory via the expandable memory interface; and
the transceiver further configured to;
transmit an acknowledgement signal to an additional computing device over the network when the one or more files are written to the expandable memory, the acknowledgement signal enabling the additional computing device to display a status indicating that the one or more files are written to the expandable memory;
communicate a current directory of filenames corresponding to a current set of files stored on the expandable memory to the additional computing device over the network; and
communicate an indication of an amount of free space remaining on the expandable memory to the additional computing device over the network.

1. A computing device comprising:
-
an expandable memory interface configured to couple an expandable memory to the computing device; a transceiver configured to receive, over a network, one or more files that are to be written to the expandable memory; a file daemon module configured to write the received one or more files to the expandable memory via the expandable memory interface; and
the transceiver further configured to;transmit an acknowledgement signal to an additional computing device over the network when the one or more files are written to the expandable memory, the acknowledgement signal enabling the additional computing device to display a status indicating that the one or more files are written to the expandable memory; communicate a current directory of filenames corresponding to a current set of files stored on the expandable memory to the additional computing device over the network; and communicate an indication of an amount of free space remaining on the expandable memory to the additional computing device over the network. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

7. A method comprising:
-
causing display of a folder view on a display of a computing device to enable a user to copy files to an expandable memory coupled to a remote computing device; receiving a user command to copy one or more of the files into the folder view; copying the one or more files into the folder view; responsive to the copying, automatically transmitting the one or more files to a remote server effective to cause the one or more files to be copied into the expandable memory coupled to the remote computing device; causing display of a status view on the display of the computing device that tracks the copying of the one or more files into the expandable memory coupled to the remote computing device; receiving an acknowledgement signal when the one or more files have been written to the expandable memory; receiving a current directory of filenames corresponding to a current set of files stored on the expandable memory; and receiving an indication of an amount of free space remaining on the expandable memory. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)

10. A method comprising:
-
receiving one or more files from a first application running at a first computing device, the one or more files automatically transmitted from the first computing device responsive to being copied into the first application; automatically transmitting the one or more files to a second computing device to initiate a second application running on the second computing device to write the one or more files onto an expandable memory coupled to the second computing device; initiating display of a status view on a display of the first computing device that tracks the copying of the one or more files into the expandable memory coupled to the second computing device; receiving an acknowledgement signal from the second application when the one or more files have been written to the expandable memory; receiving from the second computing device a current directory of filenames representing a current set of files stored on the expandable memory in the second computing device, and an indication of an amount of free space remaining on the expandable memory; and transmitting to the first application, the current directory of filenames and the indication of the amount of free space remaining on the expandable memory. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
