- strathmeyer 11y agoYou mean like.... AIM. Most people coded and instant messenger in the nineties.
- TD-Linux 11y agoBut that was done by Computers, not Things on the Internet. Maybe we need another Alice Corp. vs CLS Bank, but for Things on the Internet?
- natch 11y agoStating the obvious here, computers are things on the Internet. Also weather stations, seismographs, road sensors, etc. etc. have been doing this for decades.
- _lce0 11y agoIsn't this just what the OSI model does, but at the application level? Well, to be fair seems like one side talks like for instance 802.2 and the other in X25, with a software layer in between --adapter pattern? Can't believe such patent was granted.
- yo-code-sucks 11y agoAdapter? You mean a packet unwrapped an rewrapped probably as simple as a UNIX/Linux pipe.
- goldent777 11y agovery excited to see Tempe at the top of a patent, that whole area deserves some recognition.

- abhinai 11y agoThis sounds like taking the design of internet and applying it to the network of devices at home. Awesome! Except I find it disturbing that a patent was issued for something like this.
