Patent attributes
A system provides communication among user devices and Internet of things (IoT) devices includes a user device able to execute at least one application that is able to communicate using at least a first IoT protocol; an IoT device able to communicate using at least a second IoT protocol; and a universal translator able to communicate using at least the first IoT protocol and the second IoT protocol. An automated method of providing communications between a user device and an IoT device includes: determining a protocol of the IoT device; determining a protocol of the user device; and inserting a virtual device if the protocols are different. An automated method of translating communications for IoT systems includes: receiving a device protocol and identifier; receiving an application protocol and identifier; adding the application identifier to an application list; and adding the device identifier to a device list.
