A wireless device is disclosed. The wireless device includes a wireless communication module, a data storage module, and a controller for controlling the storage and/or retrieval of data from the data storage module. The wireless communication module communicates with each of a plurality of remote devices and the data storage module defines a first storage area and a second storage area. The controller controls the communication of data between the first storage area and the remote device, and the second storage area and the remote device dependent upon access rights associated with the remote device. The first storage area typically defines a public storage area with which data is exchanged in a relatively free manner, and the second storage area typically defines a private storage area with which data is exchanged in a relatively restricted manner.

Method and device for communicating data

A portable device is provided which includes a wireless communication module, a data storage module, and a controller for controlling the storage and/or retrieval of data from the data storage module. The wireless communication module communicates with each of a plurality of remote devices and the data storage module defines a first storage area and a second storage area. The controller controls the communication of data between the first storage area and the remote device, and the second storage area and the remote device dependent upon access rights associated with the remote device. The first storage area typically defines a public storage area with which data is exchanged in a relatively free manner, and the second storage area typically defines a private storage area with which data is exchanged in a relatively restricted manner.

Method and device for communicating data with a personal wireless storage device

A method and apparatus is provided for identifying which one of a plurality of first devices, within a wireless communication range of a second device, the second device is to establish substantive communications with. The method includes sensing which particular first device is within a physical range of the second device, and establishing substantive communications with the particular first device.

Method and system for identifying when a first device is within a physical range of a second device

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for maintaining application integrity in a hot, disconnected network environment. The present invention provides a system having a computer subsystem with a processor executing application programs in an operating system environment. The system also includes a network and a connection to connect the network to the computer system. A notification mechanism detects when the network resources are no longer connected and permits continued use of the computer subsystem while it remains disconnected from the network.
