  • Patent number: 9344482
    Abstract: Systems and methods for remote file access are disclosed. According to an embodiment, a local agent polls a server for a task request at a polling interval scheduled by a schedule timer in accordance with a set of local agent and remote client preferences. The local agent is responsible for executing a task from the task request and causing a file to be uploaded to the server. The local agent uses a task processor for polling a server, a schedule timer for controlling polling, and one or more protocol stacks, such as TCP/IP and SOAP, for communicating with the server. The local agent can also interface with a MAPI database for message delivery.

  • Publication number: 20030084045
    Abstract: Systems and protocols for remote file access are disclosed. According to an embodiment, a system includes a local agent, a server, and a remote client. A remote client desires access to a file and sends a task request to the server. The server stores the request in a task queue. Periodically, the local agent, with access to the file, polls the server and checks the task queue. When a task request is in the task queue, the local agent receives the task request, performs it, and returns the file to the server. The server then sets up a notification that the task is complete, and the remote client is transferred the file. The system may include a speech module for converting speech to text and text to speech. A system architecture and a remote file access protocol are further disclosed that help achieve this remote file access framework.
