Method of machine-to-machine communication
First Claim
1. A method of machine-to-machine communication, comprising:
- encrypting, at a device, data with a first key;
forming a message that includes a device identifier and the encrypted data, the device identifier identifying the device;
forming a signaling message that includes a class identifier, the message and an action code, the class identifier identifying a group of devices to which the device belongs, and the action code indicating the type of data; and
sending the signaling message to a network.

Abstract
In one embodiment, the method includes encrypting, at a device, data with a first key, and forming a message that includes a device identifier and the encrypted data. The device identifier identifies the device. A signaling message is formed that includes a class identifier, the message and an action code. The class identifier identifies a group of devices to which one or more devices belong. The action code indicates the type of data, and may be part of the message. The signaling message is sent to a network, for example, a wireless network. The wireless network identifies and routes the message portion of the signaling message based on the class identifier. And, using the class identifier and perhaps a device identifier, the wireless network may signal the device to change an operating parameter.

11. A method of machine-to-machine communication, comprising:
-
determining if a received signaling message includes a class identifier identifying the signaling message as a machine-to machine communication; routing at least a message portion of the signaling message to a particular application server based on the class identifier without setting up a communication session if the determining step determines the received signaling message includes the class identifier, the message portion including a device identifier and data, the device identifier identifying a device within a group of devices identified by the class identifier. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
