Abstract

Methods and devices provide a virtual peripheral hub and services enabling remote access to peripherals commonly connected to personal computers in a manner that simplifies device networking. A virtual peripheral hub device may include a processor and wireless communication transceivers configured to connect to cellular and / or WiFi networks to access a remote server, and wired and / or wireless local networks for connecting to peripheral devices. The virtual peripheral hub device may plug into a power source (e.g., a wall socket or cigarette lighter), connect to a peripheral device, and be configured to enable any computer attached to a local area network or the Internet to use or access the peripheral device. An associated server-based service enables discovery of the virtual peripheral hub device and connected peripherals. The associated server-based server may provide the drivers for various peripherals, store and forward data, and provide remote access to the various peripherals.

Description

[0001] Related applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 262,653, filed November 19, 2009, and entitled "Virtual Peripheral Hub Device and System," which The entire content of the application is hereby incorporated by reference herein. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to computer networks and, more particularly, to virtual peripheral hubs for coupling electronic devices to remote computers by means of intermediary servers. Background technique [0004] The number of peripheral devices connected to computers by means of Universal Serial Bus (USB) and other direct / wired connections is increasing. A few examples of these devices include cameras, medical sensors, external hard drives, digital music players, printers, and less common devices such as weather stations. Currently, use of such devices requires a direct connection to an access computer. Remote access may be su...
