First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of providing a mobile device with web-based access to a data object, the method comprising:
- receiving at a relay server authentication information for a data store hosting the data object, the information sent from the mobile device;
executing a connection application stored in memory at the relay server, wherein execution of the connection application by a processor at the relay server establishes a connection between the relay server and a web access server associated with the data store hosting the data object;
transmitting the received authentication information from the relay server to the web access server via the established connection, whereby the web access server may subsequently authenticate a user seeking access to the data store based on the authentication information received from the relay server;
receiving the data object at the relay server following authentication of the user to the data store by the web access server; and
transmitting the received data object from the relay server to the mobile device.

Abstract
Providing a mobile device with web-based access to data objects is disclosed. Authentication information is sent from a mobile device to a relay server. The relay server executes a connection application to establish a connection to a web access server. The authentication information is provided to the web access server associated with a data store hosting a data object. Upon authentication, the data object is provided to the relay server from the data store. The data object is then provided to the mobile device.

9. A computing device for providing a mobile device with web-based access to a data object, the computing device comprising:
-
a memory configured to store a connection application executable to establish a connections with a web access server; a processor configured to execute the connection application, whereby a connection to the web access server is established, the web access server being associated with a data store hosting the data object; and a network interface configured to; receive authentication information for the data store, the authentication information received from the mobile device; transmit the received authentication information to the web access server via the established connection for subsequent authentication of a user seeking access to the data store based on the transmitted authentication information, receive the data object following authentication of the user to the data store by the web access server, and transmit the data object to the mobile device.

10. A computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program, the program being executable by a processor to perform a method of providing a mobile device web-based access to data objects, the method comprising:
-
receiving authentication information for a data store hosting the data object, the authentication information received from the mobile device; establishing a connection to a web access server associated with the data store; transmitting the received authentication information to the web access server via the established connection for subsequent authentication of a user seeking access to the data store based on the transmitted authentication information; receiving the data object following authentication of the user to the data store by the web access server; and transmitting the data object to the mobile device.
