WIRELESS INTERNET PRODUCT SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A network communication system for communicating with software applications through a proxy server and a firewall, the network communication system comprising:
- an electronic device configured to transfer a unique identifier (ID) through the firewall using a protocol capable of passing data through the firewall, the ID corresponding to the electronic device, wherein a packet length of the data is shorter than a web service protocol packet length having corresponding information content;
a router being configured to route the data between the electronic device and the software applications using the unique ID; and
a translator configured to translate the protocol to and from the web service protocol, the web service protocol being used to transmit packets through an internet;
wherein the software applications utilize web services.

Abstract
Low resource internet devices such as consumer electronics products connect to web service by means of a proxy method where the connected device does not need to maintain the expensive and fragile web service interface itself, but rather uses simple low level protocols to communicate through a gateway that executes software to translate a low level proprietary wireless protocol to a proprietary low level internet protocol that can pass through a firewall to proxy servers that translate the low level protocols thus presenting an interface that makes the internet device appear to have a full web service interface to enable communication between the internet devices and the web server.
