摘要： A methodology for dynamic (i.e., run-time) uploading and execution of applications and drivers between devices (e.g., between “client” device and one or more (host) devices), in a fully automated manner, is described. The device which is to be hosted (e.g., the “client” device) initially probes its environment to determine which device or devices it is attached to (e.g., the “host” device(s)). Once it has correctly discerned the relevant host or target device(s), the client device includes the capability of immediately sending out (i.e., uploading) a particular driver or application (i.e., object or file of interest) for placement, and ultimately execution, at the host device. Once the particular object or file of interest has been “injected” into the host device and is executing, the client device may simply revert to a “listening mode” in which it waits to be told what to do (i.e., receive commands from the application or driver which is now executing at the host device). This approach is particularly well-suited for devices which serve as “add-on” devices (clients) to other devices (hosts) that are “smarter,” for instance, including more processing capability and/or memory. In this scenario, the client device enters into a dialog with a device with more resources for the purpose of harnessing the resources of the host device for operating the client or add-on device. The client device is, using this approach, able to start running (i.e., driver-directed operation) immediately upon attachment to a host device that can be identified.

摘要： A media spooler system is described that provides a methodology for efficient transmission of media content from client devices, such transmission of digital images from wireless digital cameras. The media spooler or gateway addresses wireless transmission problems by acting as a protocol gateway between a thin-client device and a target host or server (supported by a server infrastructure). More particularly, the media spooler of the present invention acts as a protocol gateway between thin-client devices (e.g., “mobile visual communicator” in the form of a wireless digital camera) and server infrastructure (e.g., server-based computer systems or “Web servers” of a photographic service provider). This task entails accepting multiple, simultaneous connections from various client devices (e.g., wireless digital cameras), extracting information from those devices (e.g., digital photographs or other media content), and then uploading that information to the target server infrastructure. In basic operation, the media spooler queries each client device for the information (e.g., media, such as pictures) the client device thinks should uploaded, and then the media spooler queries the server infrastructure for the subset of pictures that have not been already uploaded. This improved coordination or synchronization of information between a device and target host allows for efficient recovery of dropped cellular data calls by essentially allowing the media spooler to “pick up where it left off.”
摘要翻译：描述了一种媒体假脱机系统，其提供用于从客户端设备有效地传输媒体内容的方法，例如来自无线数字照相机的数字图像的传输。媒体假脱机程序或网关通过充当瘦客户机设备与目标主机或服务器（由服务器基础设施支持）之间的协议网关来解决无线传输问题。更具体地说，本发明的媒体假脱机器作为瘦客户端设备（例如，无线数字照相机形式的“移动可视通信器”）和服务器基础设施（例如基于服务器的计算机系统或“ 摄影服务提供商的Web服务器“）。该任务需要接受来自各种客户端设备（例如，无线数字照相机）的多个同时连接，从那些设备提取信息（例如，数字照片或其他媒体内容），然后将该信息上传到目标服务器基础设施。在基本操作中，媒体后台处理程序向每个客户端设备查询客户端设备认为应上传的信息（例如，媒体，如图片），然后介质后台处理程序查询服务器基础结构以获得尚未上传的图片子集。这种改进的设备和目标主机之间的信息的协调或同步允许通过基本上允许媒体假脱机程序“拾取其停留在何处”来有效地恢复丢弃的蜂窝数据呼叫。

摘要： System and methodology are described that allow a new user of a user-operated device (e.g., wireless digital camera, cellular phone, video camera, audio device, or the like) to immediately begin using the features and services of the device without having to first activate a new user account. Thus in the instance where the user-operated device is a newly-acquired wireless digital camera, for example, the user can immediately begin taking and uploading his or her pictures to a photo Web site prior to having to open a user account, or having to perform other cumbersome activation steps. In such a wireless digital camera embodiment, the photo Web site and vendors of either cellular-enabled digital cameras or camera-enabled cellular phones provide user Web accounts based upon the unique ID or phone number belonging to one of these two devices. The user need only bother to “open” his or her account, that is, establish a user name and password, at some subsequent point in time that is convenient for the user (e.g., when the user is first visiting the photo Web site, using a browser, to view the digital photographs he or she previously uploaded). This approach allows users to use his or her newly-acquired device (e.g., immediately take pictures and upload them to an account at a photo Web site) right “out-of-the-box,” all without having to first register or setup a new user account.
摘要翻译：描述了允许用户操作的设备（例如，无线数字照相机，蜂窝电话，摄像机，音频设备等）的新用户立即开始使用设备的特征和服务的系统和方法，而不必首先激活新的用户帐户。因此，在用户操作的设备是新获取的无线数字照相机的情况下，例如，用户可以在必须打开用户帐户之前立即开始将照片上传到照片网站，或者具有执行其他麻烦的激活步骤。在这种无线数字照相机实施例中，照相网站以及启用蜂窝的数码相机或具有摄像头的移动电话的供应商基于属于这两个设备之一的唯一ID或电话号码来提供用户Web帐户。用户只需要打扰他/她的帐户，即在随后的某个时间点建立用户名和密码，方便用户（例如，当用户首次访问照片网站时，使用浏览器查看他或她以前上传的数码照片）。这种方法允许用户使用他或她新购买的设备（例如，立即拍照并将其上传到照片网站的帐户），“开箱即用”，无需首先注册或设置一个新的用户帐户。
