CLOUD SUPPORT FOR DISCOVERY AND DATA TRANSFER FOR MOBILE CLIENT DEVICES

摘要

A host device may include a wireless interface for communications, a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory and the wireless interface. The host may receive, via the wireless interface, an advertisement message from a client device. The advertisement message may include an identifier associated with the client and a request for communication of data from a cloud-based service. Responsive to the advertisement, the host may send the identifier to the cloud-based service. The host may receive from the cloud-based service, a proxy indication of available data associated with the client. Responsive to receiving the proxy indication of available data, the host may provide, via the wireless interface, a connection request including a client indication of the available data from the cloud-based service to the client. After receiving the available data from the service, the host may send the available data to the client.
