METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SELECTING TRANSMISSION MEANS

摘要

The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method for communicating from a first application (90:1), the method comprising: intercepting a communications request from the application in the native protocol of the communications request with a layered service provider (140:1) above a base provider (150:1, 160:1, 210:1, 230:1), the base provider being adapted to provide data transport between a first computer (20:1) and another computer (20:2), the first computer including said first application and said layered service provider; the layered service provider (140:1) evaluating a choice criteria in order to select a communications protocol for the communications request; the layered service provider (140:1) delivering the communications request either to a TCP/IP data transmission means (150:1, 210, 220) including a TCP/IP transport service provider; or to a WAP data transmission means (160:1) including a base service provider, dependent on said evaluation.
