`
`Brief Description of the Invention
`
`‘Today, thesvitetess users commonly face the a problem of lack of storage capacity
`[017]
`
`configured on their wireless devices such as cell phone or PDA, which_are usually limited to
`
`256MBfor the PDA and muchless for the cell phone. To effectively solve this problem and
`
`let users ever possess multiple gigabytes (GB) of storage for their wireless devices as well as
`
`allowing the users to use theGB storage for their multimedia applications, the storage spaces
`
`es provided bya server can be used as theexternal storage forthe wireless devices. This
`
`technologyhas been etaised briefly introduced in the prevteus4s¥e prior patent|[s]]
`submiss
`
`applications
`
`[018] Nowseeas Ictuscxamince how dees can the external storage actually be used by the
`
`wireless devices. First, Weeas let each server unit (e.g. the server 3 of the Fig. 2)
`
`partition[[s]] its storage system into s#ehavesthateaek-volumes, such that each ofthe
`
`volumes will have multiple[[-]]GB in size. Therefore, eaeh auscr es-esveb=beessexrof
`
`each -aas<of the wireless devices can beexclusively beassigned aad-exehistvel} for access to
`
`a specific storage volume ofa the server unit. For example, if we need to provide each user a
`
`4GB e&slorage space, then a 160GB disk drive can support 40 users[[’]]. Therefore, [[A]] a
`
`4096GBstorage system on-a the server unit can support a total of 1024 users. Further, any

`

`

`data on the wireless device ofthe user can be transmitted to the assigned storage volumes~e#
`
`a_of the server unit. In addition, the user es of the wireless device also can download the
`
`multimedia data from ea anISP or ASP to the assigned storage volume[[s]] ofthe a
`
`desierated server unit through out-band approach €shownin Fig. 33. Finally,
`
`inone
`
`embodiment, the uscr can usc the# aweb-browscr, which has afunctionality of invoking
`
`embedded video or music, to enjoy ¢#e# his/her stored multimedia contents.

`
`operation to cause the sendopcration information to be sent to the console support software

`
`of the Fig. 3. For example, [[to]] the user get access to a web-page, which contains the data

`
`[049] Support external storage for a large numberof the wireless devices:
`
`[050] Referring now to the Fig. 4. If [[+ve]] there is a need to provide each user a2GB of
`
`storage space, then a 160GB diskdrive can support 80 users. A 4096GB (4 Tera Bytes)
`storage system on [[a]] the server unit can support 2024 user. Theretore, a Hach server unit
`
