Wireless internet system and method

摘要

A method, system, and apparatus, including a program encoded on computer-readable medium, for transmitting data to a server. A wireless communication connection is established between a first computing device and a second computing device. Data transmitted from the first computing device to the second computing device is received over the wireless communication connection and stored on the second computing device for uploading to a server on an IP based network. The wireless communication connection is disconnected. An IP communication connection is established between the second computing device and the server on the IP based network, and at least a portion of the stored data is transmitted from the second computing device to the server on the IP based network over the IP communication connection after the wireless communication connection between the first computing device and the second computing device is disconnected.

主权项

1. A computing device comprising:
at least one wireless interface adapted to wirelessly connect the computing device to an IP based network via a first wireless access point (AP) having a first AP Identification (APID); a user interface adapted to allow a user of the computing device to interact with destinations over the IP based network, through the first wireless AP, using a first public IP address associated with the computing device; and wherein the computing device is adapted to operate as a second wireless AP and to:
wirelessly communicate with other wireless enabled computing devices to provide a given device of the other wireless enabled computing devices with access to the IP based network by serving the given device as the second AP having a second APID, distinct from the first APID, and providing the given device access to the network via the first AP; andforward data traffic from the given device, through the computing device, through the first AP, through the IP network, to a proxy server, such that the proxy server acts as a proxy of the given device and the given device operates on the network using a second public IP address distinct from the first public IP address, with the second public IP address associated with the given device.
