Method for providing data from a resource weak device to a computer client
First Claim
1. A method for exchanging data between a first resource weak device and a resource strong device via a computer network comprising:
- associating the resource strong device with a data storage including a database containing data for a plurality of resource weak devices including respective identifiers of the plurality of resource weak devices;
providing in a control server a look-up table linking the respective identifiers of the plurality of resource weak devices with associated dynamic network addresses, the control server updating the associated dynamic network address when receiving an update from the respective resource weak device, the respective resource weak device transmitting the update to the control server following a change in the dynamic network address of the respective resource weak device;
connecting a first resource weak device of the plurality of resource weak devices to the computer network;
registering specific connection information including the identifier of the first resource weak device and the dynamic network address of the first resource weak device;
transmitting, from the resource strong device, a request to the control server to provide the specific connection information of the first resource weak device based on the identifier of the resource weak device; and
wherein the resource strong device establishes a connection to the first resource weak device based on the specific connection information received from the control server, and receives information related to the first resource weak device from the first resource weak device over the connection.

Abstract
A method and a system for providing data from a resource weak device to a computer client connected to the resource weak device, allowing the computer client to receive and send information from and to the resource weak device, and a data stream between the resource weak device and the computer client is mapped from a low level data format to a high level data format by a mapping function in the computer client, the mapping function comprises static data relating to the resource weak device and the high level data format link to the static data, the second high level data format is used for displaying the data from the resource weak device at the computer client.
