IOT devices based messaging systems and methods

A method, comprising:

• communicating at a kernel level with a communication device over a short-range wireless connection using a modified short-range wireless communication protocol stack implemented by an Internet-of-things (IOT) device of an Internet-of-things backend system;
• selectively configuring the protocol stack, by the IOT device of the Internet-of-things backend system, based on a short-range wireless protocol that is active on the communication device;
• reading, by the IOT device of the Internet-of-things backend system, a low-level protocol log file stored on the communication device when the communication device is in short-range wireless communication proximity to the IOT device;
• and
• transmitting a message to the communication device using the short-range wireless protocol, wherein the message can be displayed on the communication device without an application being installed on the communication device, wherein the message has content that is based on the low-level protocol log file.

A method, comprising:

• establishing a short-range wireless connection between an Internet-of-things (TOT) device and a communication device;
• selectively configuring a modified short-range wireless communication protocol stack of the TOT device based on a short-range wireless protocol that is identified by the TOT device as being active on the communication device, the protocol stack implemented for communicating with the communication device at a kernel level;
• and
• configuring a message for presentation on the communication device, wherein the message is presented using a kernel level service of the communication device.

A system for application-less communication, the system comprising:

• an Internet-of-things backend system comprising:
• TOT devices that:
• implement proximity and physical web discovery services;
• and
• implement a modified short-range wireless communication protocol stack for communicating with communication devices at a kernel level and delivering notifications at the kernel level of the communication devices;
• each of the communication devices being configured to:
• implement a passport or a wallet for receiving the notifications from the Internet-of-things backend system over a short-range wireless connection, the notifications presented to the communication devices without an application being installed on the communication devices, each of the communication devices being further configured to:
• receive an indication that a button on the communication device has been activated;
• generate a message based on the button activation;
• and
• transmit the message to one or more additional communication devices through the IOT devices of the Internet-of-things backend system, the one or more additional communication devices being similarly configured with the passport or the wallet.
