Data format conversion device for wire/wireless local-area communication between wireless portable terminal and wire communication device and wire/wireless communication system using the same
First Claim
1. An Internet communication system, comprising:
- a mobile terminal including a local-area wireless communication module, said mobile terminal performing local-area wireless communication using said local-area wireless communication module;
a communication device for accessing an Internet communication network in response to an Internet access command input thereto to perform wire Internet communication; and
a wire/wireless data format conversion device for performing the local-area wireless communication with said mobile terminal and wire communication with said communication device, and, in order to enable communication between said mobile terminal and said communication device, converting a format of received data into a format recognizable by a destination device, said destination device being one of said mobile terminal and communication device, and sending the resulting data to the destination device over a corresponding transmission channel;
whereby said wire/wireless data format conversion device, upon receiving said Internet access command from said mobile terminal, converts a format of the received Internet access command into a format recognizable by said communication device and sends the resulting Internet access command to said communication device and, upon receiving Internet access result information from said communication device, converts a format of the received result information into a format recognizable by said mobile terminal, and transmits the resulting result information to said mobile terminal.

Abstract
A system wherein a mobile terminal can control the operation of an external communication device using wire/wireless local-area communication. The mobile terminal includes a local-area wireless communication module, and acts to perform the local-area wireless communication using the local-area wireless communication module. The communication device accesses an Internet communication network in response to an Internet access command input thereto to perform wire Internet communication. A wire/wireless data format conversion device is provided to perform the local-area wireless communication with the mobile terminal and wire communication with the communication device, and, in order to enable communication between the mobile terminal and the communication device, convert the format of received data into a format recognizable by a destination device, said destination device being one of the mobile terminal and communication device, and send the resulting data to the destination device over a corresponding transmission channel. The wire/wireless data format conversion device, upon receiving the Internet access command from the mobile terminal, converts the format of the received Internet access command into one recognizable by the communication device and sends the resulting Internet access command to the communication device and, upon receiving Internet access result information from the communication device, converts the format of the received result information into one recognizable by the mobile terminal and transmits the resulting result information to the mobile terminal.

9. A system for controlling an operation of an external device using wire/wireless communication, comprising:
-
a mobile terminal including a local-area wireless communication module, said mobile terminal performing local-area wireless communication using said local-area wireless communication module;
an interface for the wire communication included in said external device, said external device performing an operation corresponding to an operation command input through said interface; and
a wire/wireless data format conversion device for performing the local-area wireless communication with said mobile terminal and the wire communication with said external device, and, in order to enable communication between said mobile terminal and said external device, converting a format of received data into a format recognizable by a destination device, said destination device being one of said mobile terminal and external device, and sending the resulting data to the destination device over a corresponding transmission channel;
whereby said wire/wireless data format conversion device, upon receiving an operation command from said mobile terminal, converts a format of the received operation command into a format recognizable by said external device, and sends the resulting operation command to said external device, and upon receiving information regarding a result of an operation corresponding to the sent operation command from said external device, converts a format of the received result information into a format recognizable by said mobile terminal, and transmits the resulting result information to said mobile terminal.
