Universal internet of things (IoT) smart translator
First Claim
1. A system that provides communication among user devices and internet of things (IoT) devices, the system comprising:
- at least one user device able to execute at least one application that is able to communicate using a first IoT protocol;
at least one IoT device able to communicate using a second IoT protocol; and
a universal translator device able to communicate using the first IoT protocol and the second IoT protocol across a wireless communication channel,wherein;
a beacon signal is received at the universal translator device from the at least one IoT device across the wireless communication channel,an existence message is generated at the universal translator device based on the beacon signal, andthe existence message is sent to the at least one user device from the universal translator across the wireless communication channel.

Abstract
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.
