SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COORDINATING DATA COMMUNICATION BETWEEN TWO DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method for coordinating data communication between a first device and a second device, the method comprising:
- maintaining, at a mediation server device, compatibility information related to data communication capabilities of a plurality of devices, the plurality of devices including the second device;
receiving, at the mediation server device, a request for compatibility information of the second device, the request originating from the first device; and
in response to receiving the request, sending the compatibility information of the second device from the mediation server device.

Abstract
The mediation device presented here facilitates data communication between a client device and a server device. The mediation device includes a processor, a memory element coupled to the processor, and a communication module coupled to the processor. The memory element is configured to store and maintain compatibility information related to data communication capabilities of a plurality of devices, including the server device. The communication module is configured to perform data communication with client devices, and is further configured to receive, from the client device, requests for compatibility information of the server device. Upon receipt of a request for compatibility information of the server device, the processor retrieves the compatibility information of the server device from the memory element, and the communication module sends the compatibility information of the server device to the client device.
