`
`The Use of Wireless Devices' External Storage

`
`Field of the Invention
`
`This invention is the continuation of the previous invention, application number
`60/401, 238 of"Concurrent Web Based Multi-task Support for Control Management
`System", where the claim 20 item a), b), d), claim 30 item b), and together with claim 36
`represent an invention of using storage of a server system as the external storage for
`wireless devices. This invention focuses on how can a wireless device user actually use
`external storage. Specially it focus on how can a wireless device to download data to its
`external storage, which its principle has preliminary described in claim 19) of previous
`invention, application number 60/402,626 of"IP Based Distributed Virtual SAN'', to
`transmit data in wireless environment.
`
`Background Information
`
`a) Terminology:
`The Internal Storage of a System:
`The storage media such as hard disk drives, memory sticks, memory etc is
`connected to a system directly through bus or a few inches of cable. Therefore,
`the storage media actually is a component of a system in a same enclosure.
`
`The External Storage of a System:
`The storage media is not a component of a system in a same enclosure. Therefore,
`they has to be connected through longer cable such as Ethernet cable for IP based
`storage, Fiber channel cable for fiber channel storage, or wireless media etc. The
`storage media of external storage could be magnetic hard disk drives, solid sate
`disk, optical storage drives, memory card, etc. and could be in any form such as
`Raid, which usually consists a group of hard disk drives.
`
`The Storage Partition, its Volumes, and the Corresponding File System:
`To effectively use the storage system, the storage usually needs to be partitioned
`into small volumes. After partition, each volumes can be used to establish file
`systems on it. To simplify the discussion, the term of the storage volume, its
`corresponding file system, and the term of the partition of a storage are used
`without differentiation in this invention.
`
`CCDSVM:
`It is an abbreviation for central controlled distributed scalable virtual machine
`system. The CCDSVM allows a control management station to control group of
`systems and provide distributed services to client system in Internet, Intranet, and
`LAN environment.

`Internet service provider and application service provider.
`
`b) Figures:
`Fig. 1: This is the same figure as Fig. 1 of "Concurrent Web Based Multi-task
`Support for Control Management System" with exception of renaming
`console host as wireless device.
`
`Fig. 2: This is the same figure as Fig. 1 except that it shows the more details of
`storage system controlled by the server. In addition, multiple wireless
`devices are presented.
`
`Fig. 3: This figure shows the scheme of wireless device download contents from
`ISP/ ASP or other web sites to the external storage of this wireless device.
`
`Fig. 4: This is the same figure as Fig. 1 of"IP Based Distributed Virtual SAN'
`with exception that each IP storage server provide file system as external
`storage for wireless devices instead of provide IP based virtual SAN
`service. Also, each host actually is a wireless device.
`
`c) Assumptions:
`Unless specified, the programming language, the protocols used by each software
`modules, and the system used described in this invention are assumed to be the same
`as described in previous patents submission.
`
`In the drawing, like elements are designated by like reference numbers. Further, when a
`list of identical elements is present, only one element will be given the reference number.
`
`Brief Description of the Invention
`
`Today the wireless users commonly face the problem of lack of storage capacity on their
`wireless devices such as cell phone or PDA, which usually limited to 256MB for PDA
`and much less for cell phone. To effectively solve this problem and let users own
`multiple GB of storage for their wireless devices as well as allow users to use GB storage
`for their multimedia application, the storage on a server can be used as external storage
`for wireless devices. This technology has been claimed in previous two patents
`submission by the same author. Now we can examine how does the external storage
`actually be used by the wireless device. We can let each server unit (3 of Fig. 2)
`partitions its storage system in such way that each volumes will have multi-GB in size.
`Therefore, each user from web-browser of any of wireless devices can exclusively be
`assigned and exclusively access a specific
