Abstract: A method for mobile wireless access point geolocation services proxying for mobile devices is provided. The method includes providing in a wireless access point, a wireless hotspot for different mobile devices and establishing a cellular communications link between the wireless access point and the Internet. The method also includes routing messages between the mobile devices and the cellular communications link through the wireless hotspot. Finally, the method includes responding to a request from one of the mobile devices for geolocation data by obtaining location data for the wireless access point and transmitting the obtained location data to the one of the mobile devices over the wireless hotspot for use by the one of the mobile devices in acquiring location based services from a remote endpoint server over the Internet.

Abstract: A mobile wireless access point includes at least one processor, memory and a cellular radio disposed within a housing, as well as a wireless router configured to generate and maintain a wireless hotspot within a geographic distance of the housing and to route data from the wireless hotspot to the Internet over the broadband data connection. Finally, the mobile wireless access point includes a mobile wireless access point notification delivery module executing in the memory of the housing and programmed to respond to a determination that a mobile device formerly connected to the wireless hotspot no longer is connected to the wireless hotspot by queuing in the memory messages received from over the broadband connection that are directed to the mobile device, and by subsequently delivering the queued messages to the mobile device in response to a determination that the mobile device has reconnected to the wireless hotspot.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method configures an extended virtual machine. A virtual image is executed to initialize a virtual machine. An activation engine is activated to search for special extensions in the virtual image. The virtual machine scans at least one virtual disk for script to implement the special extensions as virtual machine extensions, such that the virtual machine reads and executes the extensions prior to being available for use.
