Magnetic/optical/electronic/electro-optic type personal external storage medium e.g. universal serial bus key, for e.g. controlling file, has gateway process processing digital information associated to key file belonging to user spaces

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The medium (1) has a gateway process (P) stored in a RAM of a host station (5) e.g. portable computer, and configuring the station connected to the medium. Servers store information corresponding to user spaces of an authorized user. The process processes digital information associated to a key file belonging to the spaces to obtain corresponding information. A filtering module (D) recognizes a request on the file, and a processing module (C) creates access to the file and processes the request by a file management and operating system e.g. WINDOWS(RTM: operating system). #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Magnetic/optical/electronic/electro-optic type personal external storage medium e.g. universal serial bus (USB) key, for providing an access to a user computing space from a host station e.g. electronic memory card, fixed personal computer of home or work place, portable computer, personal digital assistant, mobile telephone or audio/video file player e.g. MPEG layer 3 player, refrigerator, building door, Internet access terminal in a public place e.g. railway station, airport, media library, shopping mall, restaurant or electronic cafe, of a computer system (claimed), via a public network e.g. Internet, controlling a computing resource e.g. document, file, program, software, image, music, digital creation, Internet site or database, provided in the space, and transferring personal computing environment containing bookmark, electronic mail, contacts, cookies, digital signature, screen background, desktop icons, engagement calendar, toolbar configuration, audio/graphic configurations and game options from one computer to another computer. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The medium enables a user to instantaneously access the user space, from any host station, which is not previously configured and does not contain any information, in a simple, secure, rapid and remote manner. The medium is inexpensive, portable and can be easily carried by the user. The medium is light in weight and compatible with a large number of computing standards. The medium permits to automatically and reliably update and synchronize the information of the user space without any loss of data in case of sudden rupture of connection of the station. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows an operational block diagram of a personal external storage medium and a host station.
