Multi-services application gateway and system employing the same
First Claim
1. An application gateway locatable at a user premises, comprising:
- at least one data communication interface providing wide area network and local area network access; and
an application services layer module including logic controllable by a services management center, the application services layer module providing the capability for a application gateway user to;
store personal e-health information on the application gateway, selectively invite another user or group of users to access the personal e-health information from the application gateway via a remote wide area network connection, provide secure access and authentication credentials to another user or group of users, enabled the first gateway user to control a type and amount of the personal e-health information another user or group of users can access, and revoke the authentication credentials of another user or group of users and disallow access to the personal e-health information.

Abstract
An intelligent gateway device provided at a premise (home or business) for providing and managing application services associated with use and support of a plurality of digital endpoint devices associated with the premises. The device includes a communications and processing infrastructure integrated with a peer and presence messaging based communications protocol for enabling communications between the device and an external support network and between the device and connected digital endpoint devices. A services framework at the gateway device implements the communications and processing infrastructure for enabling service management, service configuration, and authentication of user of services at the intelligent gateway. The framework provides a storage and execution environment for supporting and executing received service logic modules relating to use, management, and support of the digital endpoint devices. Thus, the gateway device provides a network-based services point of presence for a plurality of digital endpoint devices at the premises.
