Patent ID: 7912896

Claim:
A data access, replication or communications system comprising: a terminal including an electronic memory storing a terminal-side packet-queuing executable and a processor provided to execute the terminal-side packet-queuing executable to enable communication therewith independent of a session-based transport layer protocol, the terminal-side packet-queuing executable dividing a message into a plurality of packets; and a server including an electronic memory storing a server-side packet-queuing executable and a processor provided to execute the server-side packet-queuing executable to enable communication therewith independent of a transport layer session-based protocol, each said packet-queuing executable dividing a message into a plurality of packets, wherein a sending one of the terminal-side packet-queuing executable and the server-side packet-queuing executable transmits a next packet of the message over a radio network using a session-independent transport layer protocol upon acknowledgement of receipt of a previously transmitted packet of the message at by a receiving one of the terminal-side packet-queuing executable and the server-side packet queuing executable, the terminal-side packet queuing executable and the server-side packet queuing executable together constituting a software application that is distributed between the terminal and the server in a predetermined functional proportion and cooperatively functions as a client of a second server, the second server performing a data handling service related to the message.
