Abstract:
1. A method of wireless communication between OBEX clients and OBEX server over a communications network, comprising: receiving an OBEX encoded communications at a radio frequency enabled OBEX bridge from at least one OBEX client, wherein the OBEX bridge may maintain direct connection communications with a plurality of OBEX clients, and wherein the received OBEX encoded communications arc RFCOMM encoded OBEX communications; assigning a unique IP address, which address is internal to the OBEX bridge, to the received RFCOMM encoded OBEX communications, wherein assignment of the unique IP address is performed by the OBEX bridge; encapsulating OBEX data requests of the received RFCOMM encoded OBEX communications into TCP/IP packets; determining a destination IP address based on and for the OBEX data requests; and sending the OBEX data requests from the radio frequency enabled OBEX bridge to an OBEX server at the determined destination IP address via IP, wherein the sent OBEX data requests are of the TCP/IP encapsulated packets, and wherein there is no IP connection between the OBEX bridge and the at least one OBEX client.
