Abstract

According to one embodiment system and method provides executing at least a portion of a cloud computing task on a client terminal. The system and method further includes checking whether the client terminal is recharging or not and accessing a server for executing the cloud computing task if the terminal is recharging.

Claims

1. A method for executing cloud computing, the method comprising:

determining whether a client terminal is recharging or not; and

accessing a server and executing at least a portion of a cloud computing task, if the client terminal is recharging.

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

determining whether it is possible to access to the Internet for free; and

accessing the server and executing the cloud computing task if it is possible to access the Internet for free.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the free internet connection comprises a WiFi hotspot.

4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

accessing the server and executing the cloud computing task if a predetermined time is reached; and

terminating the cloud computing task at a predetermined critical time.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein executing the cloud computing task further comprises:

receiving data from the server by the terminal;

analyzing the data to generate resulting data; and

transferring the resulting data back to the server.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the terminal comprises a mobile phone.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the terminal comprises a personal computer (PC).

8. A client terminal comprising:

a controller configured to;

determine whether the client terminal is recharging or not; and

access a server and execute at least a portion of a cloud computing task if the client terminal is recharging.

9. The client terminal according to claim 8, wherein the controller is further configured to:

determine whether it is possible to access to the Internet for free; and

access the server and execute the cloud computing task if it is possible to access the Internet for free.

10. The client terminal of claim 9, wherein the free interne connection comprises a WiFi hotspot.

11. The client terminal according to claim 8, wherein the controller is further configured to:

access the server and execute the cloud computing task if a predetermined time is reached; and

terminate the cloud computing task at a predetermined critical time.

12. The client terminal according to claim 8, wherein the controller is further configured to:

receive data from the server;

analyze the data to generate resulting data; and

transfer the resulting data back to the server.

13. The client terminal according to claim 8, wherein the terminal comprises a mobile phone.

14. The client terminal according to claim 8, wherein the terminal comprises a personal computer (PC).

15. A system comprising:

a server; and

a client terminal configured to;

determine whether the client terminal is recharging or not; and

access the server and execute at least a portion of a cloud computing task if the client terminal is recharging.

16. The system according to claim 15, wherein the client terminal is further configured to:

determine whether it is possible to access to the Internet for free; and

access the server and execute the cloud computing task if it is possible to access the Internet for free.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the free internet connection comprises a WiFi hotspot.

18. The system according to claim 15, wherein the client terminal is further configured to:

access the server and execute the cloud computing task if a predetermined time is reached; and

terminate the cloud computing task at a predetermined critical time.

19. The system according to claim 15, wherein the client terminal is further configured to:

receive data from the server;

analyze the data to generate resulting data; and

transfer the resulting data back to the server.

20. The system according to claim 15, wherein the terminal comprises at least one of a mobile phone and a personal computer (PC).
