Systems and methods are provided for enabling an application programmer to construct a new application program for communicating with a remote machine. The systems and methods include a parser class that retrieves during runtime a representation of object instances contained in a data file and for enabling the new application program to create in memory a plurality of object instances from the representation of the plurality of the object instances.

An image server is captures images from a digital camera. When the image storage device is removed from the camera and placed into a port of the image server, the image server automatically detects the image storage device and downloads the images stored thereon, adding various data elements, such as a camera ID, data of capture, and the like. Once the image is stored in the image server, the image server generates an HTML page that references the new image, or adds a new reference to an existing HTML page. The HTML pages are made available to web browsers that are able to access the image server and the images are thus presented, with optional captions and titles. The images can be stored on the image server and be searched by text (i.e., from the captions or titles) or by image features.

Networked appliance for recording, storing and serving digital images

An apparatus for communicating with a plurality of remote machines, of a plurality of machine types includes a computer system including a processor and memory a data communication means, coupled to the computer system and to the plurality of remote machines, for communicating with each of the plurality of remote machines, a first plurality of software objects within the memory for describing services for the plurality of remote machines, and a plurality of operations within the memory associated with the first plurality of software objects, the plurality of operations for satisfying requests described by the services of the first plurality of software objects.

Object-oriented communication system with support for multiple remote machine types

A system enabling an application programmer to construct a plurality of application programs for communicating with a plurality of remote machines of a plurality of machine types, each of the plurality of remote machines having remotely accessible data and remotely performable operations includes a computer system with a memory, a processor, and a mass storage device, the computer system for storing programs, class declarations, and class libraries in an object-oriented programming language, means for compiling files containing source-code representations of application programs in the object-oriented programming language, implementations of a hierarchy of data description classes, each implementation for describing a set of data and for describing methods for manipulating the set of data, implementations of a hierarchy of remote data description classes, each implementation for describing data items contained in one of the plurality of remote machines and for describing methods for accessing the data items, and source code files for a plurality of sample application programs, each sample application program for communicating with at least one of the plurality of remote machines.

A method for communicating with a plurality of remote machines, of a plurality of machine types, using a computer system having a memory, includes the steps of constructing within the memory a first plurality of software objects, the first plurality of software objects describing services for one of the plurality of remote machines, establishing communications with the one remote machine, and invoking operations on the one remote machine in response to requests described by services of the first plurality of software objects.

A remote diagnostic system provides remote diagnostics for one or more facsimile apparatus. The system comprises facsimile, a communication control adapter and a personal computer (with expert knowledge). The system includes several kinds of data files which work under a window environment, together with communication software, to look up and rewrite the buffer memory in each facsimile.
