Facilitating access of a mobile device to a web-based service using a network interface

摘要

The invention is directed to methods and systems for facilitating access of a mobile device to web-based services. The web-based service sends identifying information, such as a public IP address and a port number, to a network interface. The network server, which has stored a mapping of the mobile device's private IP address to public IP address, is accessed to determine the private IP address of the mobile device. As the mobile device that requested access to the web-based service is now identified, the mobile device is now allowed to receive data from the web-based service.
