Apparatus, method, and computer-readable medium for interfacing devices with communications networks
First Claim
1. An interface device for providing communications between a first communications network and a device associated with a second communications network, comprising:
- one or more inputs for receiving data in a first format from the first communications network;
logic configured for translating the data to a second format compatible with the second communications network; and
one or more outputs for transmitting the translated data to the device associated with the second communications network.

Abstract
An apparatus, method, and computer-readable medium for interfacing devices with communications networks are provided. According to one aspect, an interface device for providing communications between a first communications network and a device associated with a second communications network comprises one or more inputs, one or more outputs, and logic. The one or more inputs of the interface device receive data in a first format from the first communications network. The logic translates the data to a second format compatible with the second communications device. The translated data is then transmitted to the device associated with the second communications network via the one or more outputs. The first and second formats may comprise rich media content.

13. A method for providing communications between a first communications network and a device associated with a second communications network via an interface device, comprising:
-
receiving data in a first format from the first communications network at one or more inputs of the interface device, wherein the interface device receives the data from the first communications network via a communications device; identifying a second format compatible with the second communications network; and translating the data to the second format compatible with the second communications network. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)

16. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
-
receive data in a first format from a first communications network at one or more inputs of an interface device, wherein the interface device receives the data from the first communications network via a communications device; translate the data to a second format compatible with a second communications network; and transmit the translated data to a device associated with the second communications network via one or more outputs. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
