Abstract: Systems and methods for switching communication pathways between a mobile device and connected “Internet of Things” (IOT) device are described to improve scalability and communication between devices. An application on the mobile device may determine whether local or virtual local endpoints are available to route communications without using a remote IoT server endpoint. Communications and updates from multiple co-located, but not necessarily user-related connected devices may be aggregated, and sent to a remote IoT server to reduce the peak load scalability requirement of the server.

Abstract: A mechanism for automatically registering Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices to an end-user account of an Internet-based resource, using a gateway that the end-user previously registered to the account. Various security alternatives are described that help avoid masquerading and other attacks on the home network of the end-user.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for multi-media communication includes transmitting a first session invite request (300) having a plurality of first call transaction identifiers (302), wherein each of the first call transaction identifiers (302) has a first call transaction value (303). Thereupon, the method and apparatus engages in a first communication session using the first session invite request (300). Concurrently, a second session invite request (400), having a plurality of second call transaction identifiers (402) having a second call transaction value (403), is also transmitted. A determination is made if the second session invite request (400) is duplicative by comparing the first and second call transaction values (303, 403) of the first and second call transaction identifiers (302, 402). A second communication session is engaged if the second session invite request (400) is not duplicative such that the first communication session and the second communication session create a multi-media session.

Abstract: This invention provides a system and method for splitting control and media content signals of a cellular network connection of a mobile station. A mobile station engages in a WAP browsing session with a cellular network connection over an air interface. As a user moves into coverage area of an access point, another browsing session is established between the mobile station and a non-cellular network connection. More specifically, the user's WAP browsing session with a cellular network connection is upgraded to a Web browsing session with a non-cellular network connection. The present invention permits a user to control a Web browser on a remote device by providing user input to the mobile station. In particular, a media content portion of the cellular network connection is split and rerouted to the remote device, and a control portion of the cellular network connection is split and rerouted either via the non-cellular network connection or via the cellular network connection.
