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.

Abstract: Disclosed systems, methods and components or features thereof generally enable redesign of a legacy non-IoT device or appliance into an IoT device and incorporation into an IoT system. A communication module receives from an appliance a message with which the IoT system identifies the appliance. The communication module is provided with appliance-specific data with which it can control the appliance as an IoT device. A parser in an IoT platform uses rules and a schema to parse the appliance messages. New rules can be added for handling new communication modules for new appliances. Other features are also described.
