Abstract: A method for distributing data in a heterogeneous network. The method operates on a private mobile network, which includes a mobility server, mobile components and fixed components, on which the mobility server includes data storage units that store data on behalf of network members, at least some of such data being stored in multiple data formats. The distribution method includes transmitting upon request selected said data to addressees, each such transmission being formatted for acceptance by each respective addressee.

Abstract: A method for automatically backing up data in a heterogeneous network. The network includes a mobility server, mobile components and fixed components, as well as data storage units that store data on behalf of network members, and network agents resident on selected components. The process is initiated by a network agent, which detects a change in data on a fixed or mobile network component meeting backup criteria for such component. The agent then selects data for backup, based on backup criteria, and, responsive to predetermined criteria, renders the data into selected formats before transmitting it to the mobility server. The mobility server then performs the backup operation.

Abstract: A network mobility server, which includes a target device inventory module, a data collection module, a data management module and a distribution module. The data management module, includes at least one data storage module, in which at least a portion of the data stored therein are identical data items stored in different selected formats suitable for use on mobile computing and telecommunication devices. The network also includes network agents, resident on numbers of the network members.
