Patent

CA 2495374

The invention involves remotely storing data between devices across a wide area network for purposes of redundancy or collaboration. A service (12) brokers the transfer of data between an initiating computer and a destination device, thereby establishing a peer-to-peer architecture by which data of the initiating computer (52) can be stored remotely on the destination device. The process begins as the initiating computer (52) issues a request (70) for permission to store the data remotely on an identified destination device. The permission is granted if the initiating computer properly identifies the destination device using information, such as a network address or password, that is privately communicated between the users of the destination device and the initiating computer. Accordingly, substantially any computer user having access to the Internet can achieve remote backup of data and remote collaboration of data with the assistance of a trusted third party who also is registered with the service (12).

L'invention concerne le stockage de données à distance entre ordinateurs ou dispositifs sur un grand réseau, pour la redondance ou la collaboration. Un service courtier assure le transfert de données entre un ordinateur d'origine et un dispositif de destination, établissant une architecture d'homologue à homologue pour le stockage à distance des données de l'ordinateur d'origine sur le dispositif de destination. L'ordinateur d'origine lance une demande d'autorisation de stockage des données à distance sur un dispositif de destination identifié. L'autorisation est accordée si l'ordinateur d'origine identifie correctement le dispositif de destination en utilisant l'information (par exemple, adresse de réseau ou mot de passe) que les utilisateurs du dispositif de destination et de l'ordinateur d'origine échangent de façon confidentielle. Ainsi, sensiblement tout utilisateur d'ordinateur accédant à Internet peut effectuer une sauvegarde et une collaboration de données à distance, avec l'assistance d'une tierce partie de confiance également enregistrée auprès du service.
