Abstract:

A method and device is provided for communicating with an access device. The device includes a wireless communications module to communicate with the access device in a wireless fashion, a data storage module to store bulk data, and a controller connected to the communication module and to the data storage module. The controller controls storage of data in the data storage module and retrieval of data from the data storage module in response to requests from a user via the access device. The device may function as a personal server which, for example, communicates with an access device (e.g., PC, PDA, cellular telephone, or the like) using Bluetooth technology. As Bluetooth is a universally accepted communication standard, a variety of different access devices, or any one particular preferred interface, in proximity to the user may be used to define a personal computing environment.
