COMMUNICATION METHOD AND DEVICE

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The device has a casing (330) including a universal serial bus (USB) 2.0 connector (325) connected to a host system that reads files present in the casing. A processor (305) implements a protocol authorizing connections and disconnections of information mediums. A wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) interface (320) communicates with the protocol, and the processor simulates a tree structure of local files for representing available remote data via the communication implemented by the interface. The processor emulates a File Allocation Table (FAT) 32 file system. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a communication method. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Local wireless communication device for use with a host system e.g. personal computer (PC), TV and DVD drive, for communicating data. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The configuration of the communication device ensures connection between the host system and the casing, thus enabling the host system to access the remote data in order to share the data, without requiring a user to buy new hardware. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a block diagram illustrating components of a local wireless communication device.'(Drawing includes non-English language text)' 305 : Processor 310 : Read only memory 315 : Random access memory 320 : Wireless fidelity interface 325 : Universal serial bus connector 330 : Casing #CMT#INDUSTRIAL STANDARDS : #/CMT# The wireless fidelity interface complies with universal plug and play (UPnP) standards and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 G standard.
