Methods and device for interfacing communication between devices on different networks
First Claim
1. Method for interfacing communication between a first device on a first network and a second device on a second network, the networks being connected by an interface device, the method being carried out by the interface device and comprising the steps of:
- detecting a first message on the first network, said first message being generated by the first device, said first message being relevant for the second device;
translating the first message into a format compatible with the second device;
sending a second message to the second device on the second network, the second message informing the second device that the first message has been detected;
upon reception of a request from the second device, transmitting the translated first message.

Abstract
The invention concerns a 1. Method for interfacing communication between a first device on a first network and a second device on a second network, the networks being connected by an interface device, the method being carried out by the interface device and being characterized by the steps of: detecting a first message on the first network, said first message being generated by the first device, said first message being relevant for the second device; translating the first message into a format compatible with the second device; sending a second message to the second device on the second network, the second message informing the second device that the first message has been detected; upon reception of a request from the second device, transmitting the translated first message. The invention also concerns a device for implementing the method.
