Abstract:
1. A method of maintaining a user profile for a handheld computer in a shared, scalable computing resource, comprising: receiving user profile data from the handheld computer at the shared, scalable computing resource via a first wireless carrier, the user profile data comprising a user security factor, wherein the user profile data is received via a secure wireless communication protocol having authentication of an identity of the handheld computer; storing the user profile data on the shared, scalable computing resource as a portion of a user profile, the user profile further comprising user preference data; receiving the user security factor from a second computing device via a second wireless carrier, wherein the first wireless carrier is different than the second wireless carrier and the user security factor is received via a secure wireless communication protocol having authentication of an identity of the second computing device; downloading user preference data to the second computing device; receiving, by the shared, scalable computing resource, information associated with user input received at the second computing device; sending by the shared, scalable computing resource, to the handheld device, the information associated with the user input received at the second computing device; receiving, by the shared, scalable computing system, from the handheld device, changes in a user interface of the handheld device based on the information associated with the user input received at the second computing device; and sending, from the shared, scalable computing system, to the second computing device, the changes in the user interface of the handheld device for updating a user interface displayed by the second computing device.
