Digital relay for out of network devices

摘要

In one example of digital relay for out of network devices, a communications device includes a detecting component configured to detect that one or more communication endpoints is within communication range, a message receiving component configured to receive a digital message from a first communication endpoint, and a message relaying component configured to transmit the digital message to the second communication endpoint, wherein the first communication endpoint and the second communication endpoint are not communicatively coupled to each other.

主权项

1. A device, comprising:
a detecting component configured to:
detect that one or more communication endpoints is within communication range, andinform at least one mobile communication device of an available communication connection therewith; a message receiving component configured to receive, from the at least one mobile communication device, a digital message when neither the device nor the at least one mobile communication device are communicatively coupled to a base station; and a message relaying component configured to transmit the digital message to the base station,
wherein the device is a portable mobile communications device that is contracted with a digital communications service provider to relay digital messages between the at least one mobile communication device and the base station.
