System and method for piggybacking data across an open data channel of a wireless device
First Claim
1. A system for transmitting data across an open communication channel from wireless devices on a wireless network, comprising:
- one or more wireless devices that each selectively opens and closes a communication channel to the wireless network, and each wireless device including a computer platform;
each device including a plurality of device resources that selectively utilize a communication channel to communicate with other devices across the network, and each device resource selectively requests the system to notify that device resource of an idle open communication channel; and
wherein the system notifies all device resources that have requested such notification upon an idle open communication channel occurring, and each notified device resource selectively transmits data across the open communication channel prior to closure thereof.

Abstract
A system, method, and program for transmitting data across an idle open communication channel from a wireless device. The wireless device includes a computer platform and a plurality of device resources that selectively utilize a open communication channel to communicate with other devices across the network, and each device resource selectively requests notification of an idle open communication channel, and all device resources that have requested such notification are notified upon an idle open communication channel occurring, and each notified device resource can selectively transmit data across the open communication channel prior to closure thereof.

6. A method for transmitting data across an open communication channel on a wireless device that selectively opens and closes a communication channel to a wireless network, and each wireless device including a computer platform and including a plurality of device resources that selectively utilize a communication channel to communicate with other devices across the network, the method comprising the steps of:
-
requesting, from one or more device resources, notification of an idle open communication channel;
opening a communication channel from the wireless device to the wireless network;
upon the open communication channel becoming idle, notifying all device resources that have requested such notification; and
selectively transmitting data from one or more notified device resources across the open communication channel prior to closure thereof. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)
