Cloud Storage and Processing System for Mobile Devices, Cellular Phones, and Smart Devices

Abstract

A cloud or network server based storage and processing system for portable electronic devices including mobile devices and cellular telephones is disclosed. The server based data, applications and user interface components may overcome limited local storage and processing on mobile devices. Cloud server data may be accessible from multiple mobile devices or applications. Data acquired from a mobile device's built-in digital camera may be digitized, edited, and processed locally or by network servers. The servers store or provide email, voicemail, music, photos, videos, documents, spreadsheets, books, applications, configuration settings, and send and receive data to multiple network servers or mobile devices. Data may be saved to and downloaded from private cloud intranet servers or public cloud Internet servers. A mobile device may access a network server using a central multichannel multiplexing transmit/receive device or access point. Networked data may be secured. Authentication may include user names and passwords.
