Abstract:

Users that access their personal information from a home computer typically only need access to data, and do not need to remotely control the desktops of their home computers. By providing a remote access server that coordinates access to the file system of a user device, such as a home computer, a remote device, such as a mobile phone, can send commands to the user device. The remote device sends requests including commands to the server. The user device periodically requests these commands from the server. An application on the user device processes these commands, and in response provides the requested information to the server. The server responds to the requests from the remote device with the requested information from the user device.

Abstract:

A most recently used (MRU) client synchronization engine is provided to synchronize a user's most recently used (MRU) document list associated with a client machine with a file hosting server's MRU document list. The file hosting server's MRU document list contains a list of the user's most recently used documents that are stored on the file hosting server. The user's documents that are stored on the file hosting server are accessible to the user on one or more web-enabled client machines. The MRU client synchronization engine analyzes registry data pertaining to the documents that a user uses on the client machine with the file hosting server's MRU document list to determine the user's most recently used documents.
