An apparatus and method for prioritizing communications between devices are provided. According to one aspect, an interface device for providing communications between at least one source device and at least one destination device comprises an input, logic, and an output. The input of the interface device receives data in a first format from the source device. The logic identifies the destination device for receiving the data. The logic then identifies a second format compatible with the destination device and translates the data from the first format to the second format. Transmission of the translated data is then prioritized by the logic based on characteristics of the translated data, which may include the format of the translated data or a service plan associated with the destination device or source device. The translated data is then transmitted to the identified destination device via the output.

1. An interface device for providing communications between a plurality of source devices and a plurality of destination devices, the interface device comprising: a processor; andmemory comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising receiving data in a first format from a source device of the plurality of source devices,identifying a destination device of the plurality of destination devices for receiving the data,identifying a second format compatible with the destination device of the plurality of destination devices,translating the data to the second format,assigning a priority to the data, wherein the priority indicates an order of transmitting the data, during a time of data congestion, to the destination device of the plurality of destination devices in relation to other data to be transmitted, the other data to be transmitted received from at least another source device of the plurality of source devices and stored at the interface device, and wherein the priority is based on priority preferences specified by a user of the interface device and defined in a user profile of the user stored on the interface device, andtransmitting the data to the destination device based on the priority. 2. The interface device of claim 1, wherein the priority is further based on characteristics of the data, the characteristics of the data comprising at least one of a format of the data, the source device of the data, a first service plan associated with the source device, or a second service plan associated with the destination device. 3. The interface device of claim 2, wherein the characteristics of the data are stored on headers associated with the data. 4. The interface device of claim 3, wherein the characteristics of the data are stored on virtual local area network tags in the headers. 5. The interface device of claim 1, wherein the memory comprises further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising performing at least one of enhancing the data, applying equalizer settings to the data, or improving a signal carrying the data based on known characteristics of the source device. 6. The interface device of claim 1, wherein the memory comprises further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising performing at least one of degrading the signal carrying the data or adding a digital watermark to the data. 7.

A method for providing communications between a plurality of source devices and a plurality of destination devices, the method comprising: receiving, at a processor, data in a first format from a source device of the plurality of source devices;identifying, by the processor, a destination device of the plurality of source devices for receiving the data;identifying, by the processor, a second format compatible with the destination device of the plurality of destination devices;translating, by the processor, the data to the second format; andassigning, by the processor, a priority to the data, wherein the priority indicates an order of transmitting the data, during a time of data congestion, to the destination device of the plurality of destination devices in relation to other data to be transmitted, the other data to be transmitted received from at least another source device of the plurality of source devices and stored at the interface device, and wherein the priority is based on priority preferences specified by a user of the interface device and defined in a user profile of the user stored on the interface device. 16. The method of claim 15, further comprising transmitting the data in the second format to the destination device based on the priority. 17. The method of claim 15, wherein the priority is further based on characteristics of the data, the characteristics of the data comprising at least one of a format of the data , the source device of the data, a first service plan associated with the source device, or a second service plan associated with the destination device. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the characteristics of the data are stored on virtual local area network tags in headers associated with the data. 19. The method of claim 15, further comprising prioritizing translation of the data based on characteristics of the data. 20.
