`
`FIELD OF THE INVENTION
`
`This invention focuses on a wireless device accessing and
`using external storage space provided by a server.
`
`25
`
`BACKGROUND INFORMATION
`
`30
`
`35
`
`45
`
`Storage system always is a critical part of a computing
`system regardless of the computing system is a server, a
`laptop or desktop computer, or a wireless device as cellphone
`or personal data assistant device (“PDA'). The storage sys
`tem can be categorized as internal storage or external storage
`system.
`The internal storages of a computing system include those
`storage media Such as hard disk drives, memory Sticks, and
`memory etc. that are internally connected in the computing
`system directly through system bus or a few inches of cable,
`Therefore, the storage media actually are internal compo
`40
`nents of the computing system in a same enclosure.
`The external storages of a computing system are those
`storage media that are not the internal components of the
`computing system in a same enclosure. Therefore, the storage
`media of the computing system have to be accessed through
`longer cable, such as through Ethernet controller with longer
`cable for IP based storage, Fiber channel controller with
`longer cable for fiber channel storage, or wireless communi
`cation medium, etc.. The storage media of the external storage
`could be magnetic hard disk drives, Solid state disk, optical
`storage drives, memory card, etc. and could be in any form
`Such as Raid which usually consists of a group of hard disk
`drives.
`To effectively use a storage system, the storage devices of
`the storage system usually need to be partitioned into storage
`volumes. After the partition, each of the volumes can be used
`for establishing a file system on top of it. To simplify the
`discussion, herein, the term of the storage Volume and its
`corresponding file system, and the storage partition are often
`used without differentiation.
`To satisfy the needs for external storage for a larger number
`of wireless devices, a central controlled distributed scalable
`virtual machine “CCDSVM can be deployed. The
`CCDSVMallows a control management system to control a
`group of computing systems for providing distributed Ser
`vices, including storage service, to client devices over the
`Internet, Intranet, and LAN environment.
`
`50
`
`55
`
`60
`
`65
`

`As a matter of the fact, today major Internet service pro
`vider (ISP) and application service provider (ASP) are all in
`business of providing various type of storage services to their
`clients.

`FIG. 1 now actually is a wireless device in the FIG. 4.
`Unless specified, the programming languages and the pro
`tocols used by the Software modules, and the computing
`systems used of present invention are assumed to be the same
`as described in the prior patent applications.

`like reference numbers. Further, when a list of identical ele
`ments is present, only one element will be given the reference
`number.
`
`BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
`
`Today, users commonly face a problem of lack of storage
`capacity configured on their wireless devices such as cell
`phone or PDA, which are usually limited to 256 MB for the
`PDA and much less for the cell phone. To effectively solve
`this problem and let users possess multiple gigabytes (GB) of
`storage for their wireless devices as well as allowing the users
`to use the GB storage for their multimedia applications, the
`storage spaces provided by a server can be used as the external
`storage of the wireless devices. This technology has been
`briefly introduced in the prior patent applications.
`Now let us examine how can the external storage actually
`be used by the wireless devices. First, let each server unit (e.g.
`the server 3 of the FIG. 2) partition its storage system into
`volumes, such that each of the volumes will have multiple GB
`in size. Therefore, a user of each of the wireless devices can be
`exclusively assigned for access to a specific storage Volume in
`the server unit. For example, if we need to provide each user
`a 4GB storage space, then a 160GB disk drive can support 40
`users. Therefore, a 4096 GB storage system of the server unit
`can Support a total of 1024 users. Further, any data on a
`wireless device of the user can be transmitted to the assigned
`storage volume in the server unit. In addition, the user of the
`wireless device also can download multimedia data from an
`ISP or ASP to the assigned storage volume in the server unit
`through out-band approach shown in FIG. 3. Finally, in one
`embodiment, the user can use a web-browser, which has a
`functionality of invoking embedded video or music, to enjoy
`his/her stored multimedia contents.

`
`THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE
`INVENTION
`
`The Use of the External Storage by the Wireless Device:
`The FIG. 2 shows a simplified diagram of the wireless
`devices (1) using the external storage system (10) of the
`server (3) for effectively resolving the storage limitation
`problem for the wireless devices (1).
`Partition Storage Volumes (FIG. 2):
`With this invention, the entire storage (10) on the server (3)
`needs to be partitioned into suitable size of volumes (11) such
`as 4 GB for each volume. This will allow the server 3 to serve
`maximum number of the wireless devices (1). With the web
`console support software (5) of the server (3), tasks of parti
`tioning the storage system (10) can be done through a web
`console (13) on a console host (12) by an administrative staff.
`In order to Support storage partition, first the console Sup
`port software (5) of the server (3) must send storage informa
`tion of the server (3) to the web-console (13) of the console
`host (12). The storage information includes each storage
`device's name and total size etc. without limits. Second,
`based on the received storage information the administration
`staff on the console host (12), for example, can use a web
`console (13) to partition each storage device and send the
`storage partition information to the console Support Software
`(5) of the server (3). The storage partition information
`includes the number of the partitions (volumes) and the size
`of each partition (volume). Third, upon receiving the storage
`partition information from the web-console (13) of the con
`sole host (12), the console support software (5) of the server
`(3) performs the actual storage partition by dividing the entire
`storage into multiple Small Volumes. Finally, for each Small
`storage Volume, a corresponding file system could be built up.
`Assign Storage Volumes (FIG. 2):
`Each of the storage volumes (11) together with its corre
`sponding file system on the storage system (10) of the server
`(3) needs to be exclusively assigned to a user of a specific
`wireless device (1) by the console support software (5) of the
`server (3).
`Data and Storage Volume Management (FIG. 2)
`With the support of the console support software modules
`(5) of the server (3) by following similar steps of partitioning
`storage, a user of the wireless device (1) can use a web
`browser 8 illustrated in FIG. 2 to setup folder/directory struc
`ture on the file system of his/her an assigned external storage
`volume (11). In addition, the user of the wireless device (1)
`can use the web-browser 8 performing all data management
`operations such as delete, copy, move, rename for file or
`folder on that file system.
`In order to support Such data management over the external
`storage (10) assigned to the user of the wireless device (1) by
`using the web-browser 8, first the console support software
`modules (5) of the server (3) must communicate with the
`web-browser (8) of the wireless device (1) to present the
`assigned storage to a user as described before. Therefore, the
`user from the web-browser (8) of the wireless device (1) can
`choose a desired data management operation and send infor
`mation of the operation to the console Support Software mod
`ules (5) of the server (3). The mentioned operation includes
`establishing folder/directory, copying, moving, or reaming
`data file etc. for the folder directory. Second, upon receiving
`the data management operation, the console Support Software
`modules (5) of the server (3) actually performs these
`
`10
`
`15
`
`Referring now to the FIG. 1, it demonstrates an example of
`a network infrastructure which includes a wireless device and
`a server. In the FIG. 1, Net (2) represents a communication
`link, which may be combined with wireless and wired con
`nection media and guarantee that the communication packets
`can be sent/received between the wireless device and the
`server. It is also assumed that the net (2) representing the
`network infrastructure is built up in such way that a user from
`a web-browser of a wireless device can access and browse any
`web-site on the Internet, and Intranet.
`In the FIG. 1, the console support software (5) of the server
`(3) can be configured to Support web-based multi-tasking
`while a user on a wireless device (1) using a web browser (8).
`Further, the user of the wireless device is facilitated to per
`form creating structured layered file directories or folders,
`and perform data management operations, such as delete,
`move, copy, rename for data files or folders or directories etc.
`on an assigned storage Volume controlled by the server (3). In
`addition, the other software modules (9) of the wireless
`device (1) is also configured capable of to send data to or
`receive data from the other service modules (7) of the server
`(3) via communication link (2) through a suitable IP or non-IP
`based protocol. The data being sent or received cold be a
`digital photo picture, a message without limits.
`Also, the console supporting software (5) of the server (3)
`and the other software modules (9) of the wireless device (1)
`can be implemented with any Suitable languages such as C.
`C++, Java without limits.
`Besides, the web-browser (8) of the wireless device (1) can
`be any suitable software, which, is capable to communication
`with web server software (4) on the server (3) or with any
`other web server through the HTTP protocol.
`On the other hand, FIG. 2 has demonstrated the detailed
`storage system (10) of a server 3, where its storage Volumes
`can be allocated to multiple wireless devices as followings:
`First, the storage system (10) of the server (3) can be parti
`tioned into multiple storage Volumes (11), for example, by
`administration staff through a web-console (13) of a console
`host (12).
`Second, the storage system (10) of the server (3) can be
`partitioned in such way that a user of each of the wireless
`devices can be assigned with a storage Volume having a
`50
`desired size, so that the server 3 can Support maximum num
`bers of the wireless devices.
`In addition, the storage connection media could be any
`kind, such as SCSI cable, IP cable, Fiber cable etc. or could be
`wireless communication media. The storage system itself 55
`could be various types.
`Finally, the storage system (10) can be accessed by each of
`the wireless devices through IP or non-IP based network and
`protocols.
`The FIG. 3 has demonstrated that a user from a web- 60
`browser (8) on a wireless device (1) can download data from
`a known web-site (15) to his/her assigned external storage
`(10) on the server (3). The dash-lined path (a) represents a
`communication link between the wireless device (1) and a
`remote web-site (15) that provides downloading contents. 65
`The dash-lined path (b) represents a communication link
`between the wireless devices (1) and the storage server (3).

`requested operations on the assigned file system of an
`assigned external storage Volume (11) on the server (3).
`Store Data from Wireless Device into External Storage
`(FIG. 2):
`To store the data Such as digital photo pictures or messages
`into the file system on the assigned storage Volume (11) in the
`server (3), the other software modules (9) of the wireless
`device (1) need to send these data to the other service modules
`(7) of the server (3) via communication link between them.
`Upon receiving the data, the other service modules (7) of the
`server (3) write these data to the file system of the assigned
`storage volume (11) on server (3) for the wireless device (1).
`The protocol used between these two communication entities
`could be either IP or non-IP based protocol.
`Download Data from a Remote Web Server Site into Allo
`cated Storage Volume:
`Now, referring to the FIG.3, Ifa user of the wireless device
`(1) wants to download a data from a remote web server (15)
`into the file system on the assigned storage Volume (11) in the
`external storage system (10) on the server (3), the following
`steps are required:
`1) The user of the wireless device (1) via a web-browser (8)
`access to a remote web server site (15) to obtain information
`of the data for the downloading via the path (a) of the FIG. 3.
`For example, the user access to a web-page which contains
`the data name for the downloading and also contains IP
`address of the remote web site.
`2) The other software modules (9) of the wireless device (1)
`obtain the downloading information for the data, which
`becomes available in the cached web-pages on the wireless
`device (1) after the web-browser (8) access to the web site
`(15).
`3) The other software modules (9) of the wireless device (1)
`send the obtained downloading information to other service
`modules (7) of the storage server (3) via the path (b) of the
`FIG. 3.
`4) Upon receiving the downloading information from the
`wireless device (1), the other service module (7) of the storage
`server (3) sends a web download request to the web-site (15)
`via the path (c) of the FIG.3 based on download information
`obtained and then receives the downloading data from the
`web server of the web-site (15).
`5) Upon receiving downloading data stream, the other Ser
`vice modules (7) of the storage server (3) write the data into
`the file system on the assigned storage Volume (11) on the
`server (3) for the wireless device (1).
`Retrieve Data from Assigned Storage Volume for the User
`of the Wireless Device:
`1) If a web-browser (8) on a wireless device 1 has embed
`ded video or music functionality, a user of the wireless device
`(1) can use the browser to retrieve and play multimedia data
`file Such as video or music stored in the assigned storage
`volume (11) located on the server (3).
`2) In another embodiment, in respect to the user's needs,
`the other software module (9) of the wireless device (1) also
`can retrieve data file from the file system of the assigned
`storage Volume (11) on the server (3).
`Support External Storage for a Large Number of the Wire
`less Devices:
`If there is a need to provide each user a 2 GB of storage
`space, then a 160 GB disk drive can support 80 users. A 4096
`GB (4 Tera Bytes) storage system on the server unit can
`support 2024 user. Each of the server units only can efficiently
`Support a limited size of the storage system. In order to
`Support a large number of the wireless devices, such as for
`500,000 wireless devices, a larger number of the servers is
`required, in this case 250 servers is required. In order to let a
