METHOD OF COMMUNICATION FOR DATA TRANSFER TO AN ELECTRONIC MICRODEVICE
First Claim
1. Method of communication for the transfer of data for an electronic microdevice (1),witha user interface realized on a display device (2) for the representation of data from the microdevice (1) by means of a script-based browser retrieving files as units of information from within a script, and by means of a data transfer protocol, where microdevice (1) and display device (2) can be positioned locally independently of each other,a middleware (4) which can be connected,on the one hand via a first communications link (EK, EK′
- ) with the display device (2) andon the other hand via a second communications link (ZK, ZK″
) with the microdevice (1),wherethe data transfer rate of the second communications link (ZK, ZK′
) is lower than that of the first communications link (EK, EK′
), and more particularly lower than 3 Mbps, andcomputing power and memory of the microdevice (1) are lower than computing power and memory of the middleware (4), the memory in particular being less than 100 kB,and at least the stepstransfer of data assigned to the microdevice (1), to the display device (2) via the middleware (4), where the data are transmitted from the microdevice to the middleware (4) for transfer, synchronously or asynchronously in advance, whereinan adaptation of the data to be transferred occurs in such a way that the middleware (4) provides a file that is specific to the microdevice (1) and to the display device (2),this specific file being assignable to the microdevice (1) by the display device (2) in view of the file designation, so that a processing by means of a script-based browser becomes possible and the middleware (4) defines display device (2) as the functional interface to the microdevice (1).

Abstract
In a method of communication for the transfer of data for an electronic microdevice (1) using a user interface realized in a display device (2) for the representation of data of the microdevice (1) by means of a script-based browser that retrieves files as units of information from within a script, and by means of a data transfer protocol, a middleware (4) is used. This middleware (4) has on the one hand a first communications link (EK) to the display device (2) and on the other hand a second communications link (ZK) to the microdevice (1), the rate of data transfer in the second communications link (ZK) being lower than that in the first communications link (EK), and the computing power and memory of the microdevice (1) being lower than the computing power and memory of the middleware (4). The method transfers data assigned to the microdevice (1) to the display device (2) via the middleware (4), while data from the microdevice (1) are transmitted for transfer to the middleware (4), synchronously or asynchronously in advance. In this process the data to be transferred are adapted in such a way that the middleware (4) provides a file that is specific to the microdevice (1) and to the display device (2), and this specific file can be associated with the microdevice (1) by the display device (2) by virtue of the file designation, so that a processing by means of script-based browser becomes possible and the middleware (4) defines for the display device (2) the functional interface to the microdevice (1).
