Method and system for utilizing standardized interface in a wireless device to discover and use local and remote resources
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- discovering a first resource of a device by using a standardized language or protocol, said standardized language or protocol specifying a resource format;
discovering, by using the standardized language or protocol, a second resource that is available via a wireless network;
configuring an ad hoc network to establish a route between the first resource and the second resource; and
facilitating a performance of an operation using the first resource and the second resource by sending a control message to the device.

Abstract
A wireless mobile communication (WMC) device may discover available networks, and available local and/or remote resources. The WMC device may configure routes utilizing one or more of discovered resources and one or more available networks. The routes may be utilized to performed operations requested via the WMC device. A standardized language and/or protocol may be utilized in discovering and/or communicating with available resources and/or networks. The standardized language and/or protocol may enable commonality among the discovered networks and/or resources, and encryption of data communicated through the established routes. The standardized language and/or protocol may be updated and/or modified to incorporate new resources either by direct interactions between said new resources and the WMC device, or via existing available resources and/or networks. The discovery of resources and/or establishment of routes may be user-triggered, or it may be based on user preference information.
