20080307001SYSTEM CONNECTIONS AND USER INTERFACES - This disclosure relates to methods and systems to allow, in one embodiment, automatic access from one system to other systems which include an operating system that includes a user login process. In one embodiment, a method includes logging into, automatically in response to starting a first data processing system, a second data processing system at least as a guest user of the second data processing system which has a storage volume storing data and displaying a user interface object on a display device of the first data processing system, the user interface object corresponding to at least one of the second data processing system and the storage volume to allow at least one of a search to be performed or a browsing to be performed of the data stored on the storage volume.12-11-2008
20080307067System Connections and User Interfaces - This description relates to methods and systems for providing a connection from a first system to another system using a server. In one embodiment, a method includes establishing at a first data processing system (DPS) a connection with a server providing a service to both the first DPS and a second DPS, the server being operatively coupled to the first DPS and the second DPS, and the server having received from the second DPS an address information; receiving from the server the address information of the second DPS; and establishing at the first DPS a connection, using the address information from the server, with the second DPS to receive a sharing service from the second DPS.12-11-2008
20080307314SYSTEM CONNECTIONS AND USER INTERFACES - This description relates to methods and systems for providing user interfaces on a first system for browsing other systems coupled to the first system. In one embodiment, a method includes logging into at least one second data processing system (DPS) from a first DPS, the second DPS having a storage volume storing data and presenting user interface objects within a window which is provided by a file management software program which displays files and folders in a hierarchical file system, the window being displayed on a display device of the first DPS, the user interface objects corresponding to sharing services, which comprise file sharing and screen sharing. Optionally, networked printers may also be displayed. Other methods and systems and computer readable media are also described.12-11-2008
20080307504SYSTEM CONNECTIONS AND USER INTERFACES - This description relates to methods and systems for providing a connection from a first system to a second system using a server. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a user input to establish a sharing service on a first data processing system (DPS) for a user of a second DPS; determining, in response to the user input, whether the user of the second DPS has an account with a service which includes a server which is capable of being coupled to the first DPS through a network; receiving from the server, if the account exists, authentication data for use in authenticating the user of the second DPS when the sharing service is enabled. Other methods and systems and computer readable media are described.12-11-2008
