Abstract
Methods and apparatus for implementing a network gateway supporting one or more service interfaces. In one implementation, a wireless gateway includes: a local network interface; a wireless interface; a controller connected to said local network interface and to said wireless interface; and one or more service interfaces connected to said local network interface and to said wireless interface; wherein each service interface provides data conversion between two services.
Claims25
A wireless gateway, comprising:
- a local network interface;
- a wireless interface;
- a controller connected to said local network interface and to said wireless interface;
- and
- one or more service interfaces connected to said local network interface and to said wireless interface;
- wherein each service interface provides data conversion between two services.
A method of network communication using a gateway, comprising:
- receiving a session request to open a network session from a client through a first interface of a gateway, wherein said session request indicates a communication service;
- selecting a network service that matches said communication service;
- and
- sending a service request to a network server through a second interface, wherein said network server supports said selected network service;
- wherein said selected network service has a corresponding service interface that provides data conversion between said selected network service and said communication service.
The method of claim 18, wherein:
- said wireless interface supports a CDMA connection.
A system for network communication using a gateway, comprising:
- means for receiving a session request to open a network session from a client through a first interface of a gateway, wherein said session request indicates a communication service;
- means for selecting a network service that matches said communication service;
- and
- means for sending a service request to a network server through a second interface, wherein said network server supports said selected network service;
- a service interface corresponding to said selected network service that provides data conversion between said selected network service and said communication service.
A computer program, stored on a tangible storage medium, for use in network communication using a gateway, the program comprising executable instructions that cause a computer to:
- process a session request to open a network session from a client through a first interface of a gateway, wherein said session request indicates a communication service;
- select a network service that matches said communication service;
- and
- send a service request to a network server through a second interface, wherein said network server supports said selected network service;
- wherein said selected network service has a corresponding service interface that provides data conversion between said selected network service and said communication service.
