Abstract
A method and apparatus for brokering a communication connection between a device and a push server for providing a push service irrespective of a protocol difference between the device and the push server, and a computer readable storage medium for executing the method. The method includes: authenticating a connection between at least one device and a brokering apparatus based on protocol information relating to the at least one device; and if data is received from the server when the at least one device is connected to the brokering apparatus, modifying the data received from the server based on a protocol relating to the at least one device, and transmitting the modified data to the at least one device, wherein the brokering apparatus performs the modifying.

8. An apparatus for brokering a communication connection between a device and a server, the apparatus comprising:
-
a first communication unit which communicates with at least one device; a second communication unit which communicates with the server; and a processor which authenticates a connection with the at least one device via the first communication unit based on protocol information relating to the at least one device, wherein if data is received from the server via the second communication unit when the at least one device is connected to the first communication unit, the processor modifies the data received from the server based on a protocol relating to the at least one device and transmits, via the first communication unit, the modified data to the at least one device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
