Abstract

A wireless distribution system (WDS) is configured for transmitting a downlink signal or for receiving an uplink signal. A computing device configured to serve as a client device to the WDS includes a memory; a multiple applications processor in communication with the memory and configured to execute one or more mobile applications; and a wireless service processor in communication with the multi applications processor for communicating via a corresponding wireless service with the WDS. The multi applications processor is configured to execute an instance of a data service to establish a connection with the WDS for a specified application process utilizing the wireless service to provide at least one datum on the WDS. In the method, an instance of a data service is executed to establish a connection with a WDS for a specified application process utilizing a wireless service to provide at least one datum on the WDS.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A client device for use in a wireless distribution system (WDS), comprising:
a computing device configured to serve as a client device to a wireless distribution system (WDS), the computing device comprising:
a memory;
a multiple (multi) applications processor configured for communication with the memory, the multi applications processor being configured to execute one or more applications; and
a wireless service processor configured for communication with the multi applications processor, the wireless service processor configured to communicate via a corresponding wireless service with the WDS;
the multi applications processor being further configured to execute an instance of a data service, the data service configured to establish a connection with the WDS for a specified application process utilizing the wireless service to provide at least one datum on the WDS.

2. The client device of claim 1 , wherein the connection with the WDS is provided through a base station.

3. The client device of claim 1 , wherein the connection with the WDS is provided through an access point.

4. The client device of claim 1 , wherein the wireless service is selected from the group consisting of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, DSL, LTE, Wireless Access Points (WAPs), PCS, 2G, 3G, 4G, Remote Radio Heads (RRH), Radio over Fiber Optic Cable (RoF), WiMax, LAN, CDMA, TDMA, GSM, WDM and WLAN, Satellite, RFID, Bluetooth, ZigBee, NFC, and Wi-Gig.

5. The client device of claim 1 , wherein:
the wireless service is comprised of Wi-Fi, and
the client device is configured to operate as a Wi-Fi access point.

6. The client device of claim 1 , wherein the application is comprised of a mobile application selected from the group consisting of call reception, call origination, Short Message Service (SMS) texting, Instant Messaging (IM), a data application, an email application, a word processing application, a camera application, a presence application, gaming application, a music playback application, a video playback application, a social media application, a voice command mode, and a hands-free mode.

7. The client device of claim 1 , wherein the client device comprises an external memory interface configured to interface external memory to the client device.

8. The client device of claim 7 , wherein the external memory is a memory unit residing in the cloud.

9. The client device of claim 1 , wherein the client device comprises a peripheral interface port configured to interface a peripheral device to the client device.

10. The client device of claim 1 , wherein the client device comprises a physical communication port configured to allow a physical connection to the client device.

11. The client device of claim 1 , wherein the client device comprises a sensor configured to detect a physical property.

12. The client device of claim 11 , wherein the sensor is selected from the group consisting of a temperature sensor, an accelerometer, a compass, a gyro, a proximity, and a light sensor.

13. The client device of claim 1 , wherein the mobile application includes an instance configured to:
monitor a predetermined event;
detect a predetermined parameter; and
manage the predetermined event based upon the detected predetermined parameter.
