Abstract:
1. A method for using a single IP address to wirelessly communicate between an external network and a mobile system that includes at least a first processor operating a first application and a second processor operating a second application both of which are operable to request communication with the external network and operate simultaneously, the first and second processors defining separate first and second communication endpoints respectively, the method comprising: establishing a wireless communication link between the external network and the mobile system, including obtaining an IP address from the external network; establishing a local communication link and an inter-processor communication link between the first processor and the second processor in the mobile system; associating the IP address with the second processor and the second endpoint, so that external communications to the IP address are directed to the second endpoint; configuring the first processor to filter external communications with the second endpoint, including configuring a filter in the first processor to filter external communications received over the wireless communication link; communicating with the external network using said IP address associated with said second endpoint; and monitoring and filtering said external communications in the first processor, including selecting a destination as one of the first and second processors, and supplying received data to the selected destination.
