1. A wireless transfer device, comprising:
- a wireless module;
a microprocessor configured to execute one or more transfer protocols, wherein at least one of the transfer protocols, when executed, facilitates a wireless transfer of one or more files from a central server remote from a first processing device to one or more other processing devices; and
an infrared sensor, wherein the microprocessor is configured to recognize the infrared sensor is pointed to the first processing device, enable access to one or more files resident on the central server, receive an indication that the one or more files resident on the central server are to be transferred to the one or more other processing devices, recognize that the infrared sensor is pointed to at least one or more other processing devices, receive an indication that the one or more files resident on the central server are to be transferred to the one or more other processing devices, and facilitate the transfer of the one or more files resident on the central server directly from the central server to the one or more other processing devices, andthe wireless transfer device being configured to enable a wireless direct transfer of the one or more files resident on the central server to the one or more other processing devices without the device storing or transmitting the one or more files resident on the central server.

14. A wireless transfer method using a wireless transfer device, comprising:
-
using a microprocessor located in the wireless transfer device, that is configured to; execute one or more transfer protocols, wherein at least one of the one or more transfer protocols, when executed, facilitates a wireless transfer of one or more files from a central server remote from a first processing device to one or more other processing devices; recognize that an infrared sensor located in the wireless transfer device is pointed to the first processing device; enable access to one or more files resident on the central server; receive an indication that the one or more files resident on the central server are to be transferred to the one or more other processing devices; recognize that the infrared sensor is pointed to at least one or more other processing devices; receive an indication that the one or more files resident on the central server are to be transferred to one or more other processing devices; and facilitate the transfer of the one or more files resident on the central server directly to one or more other processing devices receive a user selection of a file for transfer, recognizing a display to which the user desires to transfer the selected file, the microprocessor recognizing that the wireless transfer device is pointing at the display, and wirelessly facilitate the wireless file transfer directly from the one or more files resident on the central server to one or more other processing devices without the wireless transfer device storing or transmitting the one or more files resident on the central server. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
