Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd
Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. today announced that it has developed technology that enables access to home computer files from anywhere using a smart device.
Background
As users increasingly seek to share files among PCs and smart devices, the use of cloud storage is spreading. This enables the same file to be used from multiple terminals.
Technological Issues
One way of remotely accessing files stored at home is to use a smart device to remotely connect to one's home PC through what is known as a remote desktop connection. Getting to the desired file using this method, however, requires considerable time and effort, placing a significant burden on users.
The New Technology
Fujitsu Laboratories has now developed technology that enables files stored at home to be easily accessed from anywhere using a smart device. Just by selecting a file with a single tap on their smart devices, users can start up their home PCs from anywhere and access the file in the best way without difficulty.
Results
By using this technology, files stored at home can be easily accessed on the go using a smart device.
Future Plans
Fujitsu Laboratories aims to commercialize this technology in fiscal 2014 and have it installed in PCs, smartphones, and tablets.
What is the USB port for an IR remote?
The USB ports that can be used to connect the optical remote control IR receiver cable are labeled “IR Remote”. Use only the labeled ports to ensure optimal performance of the remote control.
