Fuente: WIPO "tomato" A method for operating a device networking system including a provider having a processor, a first device having a first transceiver and a second device having a second transceiver includes arranging the first and second devices to communicate connection information via the transceivers when the first device is communicatively coupled with the second device on a first physical communication interface. The processor communicatively couples the first device and the second device to one another through the provider by establishing a brokered communication link between the first device and the second device based on the first connection information received from the first device, such that the brokered communication link has a first communication link between the provider and the first device and a second communication link between the provider and the second device on the second physical communication interface.
