US 8,553,623 B2 · Method and system for utilizing standardized interface in a wireless device to discover and use local and remote resources

Abstract

A wireless mobile communication (WMC) device may discover available networks, and available local and/or remote resources. The WMC device may configure routes utilizing one or more of discovered resources and one or more available networks. The routes may be utilized to performed operations requested via the WMC device. A standardized language and/or protocol may be utilized in discovering and/or communicating with available resources and/or networks. The standardized language and/or protocol may enable commonality among the discovered networks and/or resources, and encryption of data communicated through the established routes. The standardized language and/or protocol may be updated and/or modified to incorporate new resources either by direct interactions between the new resources and the WMC device, or via existing available resources and/or networks. The discovery of resources and/or establishment of routes may be user-triggered, or it may be based on user preference information.

Claims22

Dependent claims

A method for wireless communication, the method comprising:

in a wireless mobile communication device;
discovering available networks and resources available via said available networks;
establishing one or more routes between said wireless mobile communication device and a selected one or more of said available resources via a selected one or more of said available networks based on user preference information associated with a user of said wireless mobile communication device;
utilizing at least one of a standardized language or protocol during interactions with said selected one or more of said available resources via said established one or more routes, wherein at least one of said standardized language or protocol enables at least one of configuring or operating said selected one or more of said available resources by said wireless mobile communication device;
and
modifying at least one of said standardized language or protocol to enable communication with a resource of a remote wireless communication device, wherein the resource is not supported in at least one of said standardized language or protocol prior to said modification.

3 more elements

A system for wireless communication, the system comprising:

one or more processors within a wireless mobile communication device, the one or more processors operable to discover available networks and resources available via said available networks;
said one or more processors operable to establish one or more routes between said wireless mobile communication device and a selected one or more of said available resources via a selected one or more of said available networks based on user preference information associated with a user of said wireless mobile communication device;
said one or more processors operable to utilize at least one of a standardized language or protocol during interactions with said selected one or more of said available resources via said established one or more routes, wherein at least one of said standardized language or protocol enables at least one of a configuration or operation of said selected one or more of said available resources by said wireless mobile communication device;
and
said one or more processors operable to modify at least one of said standardized language or protocol to enable communication with a resource of a remote wireless communication device, wherein said resource is not supported in at least one of said standardized language or protocol prior to said modification.
