ABSTRACT:
A system and method are provided wherein a user of an interconnected computer system can identify a specific piece of data and then access this data from another computer in the network. This is extremely useful since it is often desirable for data to be capable of being displayed and manipulated from another system during meetings, discussions and the like. The user who wishes to transfer a file to another system simply points an untethered stylus to a representation of a file, such as a filename, icon, or the like and then selects the file to be transferred. The user then carries the stylus to a remote interconnected computer and points the stylus at the remote computer which verifies the identity of the stylus and obtains a path to the selected file. The data file is then transferred from the user's computer to the remote computer through the network.
