A controller, method and computer medium are provided for controlling communications between a control area network and a data network. The method includes receiving user input at a controller coupled to the control area network from a node coupled to the data network, receiving user input at the controller from a node coupled to the control area network, and instructing an internet appliance coupled to the control area network to perform a command based on at least one of the received user inputs.

Internet control system communication protocol, method and computer program

A control system, method and computer program are provided for communicating control information in a control system. The control system includes a master controller and a plurality of devices. Each of the plurality of devices have a number of channels. Each channel has an identifying number and a plurality of channel states. The method includes at least initially directing one or more messages sent to and from each device to the master controller, sending a first type of control message from the master controller to respective devices, and sending a second type of control message and a third type of control message from the master controller to respective devices. A control message of the first type directs the respective device to place one of its channels in a specified channel state. A control message of the second type directs the respective device to set the level of a specified parameter to a certain value, and a control message of the third type comprises a character string of variable length.

A system, method, and computer program relate a plurality of applications in a computing system. The system, method, and computer program generate a plurality of ontologies associated with the applications. The system, method, and computer program also generate a meta-ontology associated with the plurality of ontologies. Each ontology includes one or more ontology elements, which represent application components. The application components may include application services and/or parameters for an associated application service. The parameters may include input parameters and output parameters for the associated application service. The meta-ontology includes one or more meta-ontology elements, which represent one or more relationships between at least some of the ontology elements.

System and method for relating applications in a computing system

A control system of the present invention includes at least one device, a network interconnecting the at least one device, a control network portal coupled between the network and the Internet, and a master controller coupled to the network and operable to control the operations of the Internet and the at least one device, the Internet is controllable as a device coupled to the network.

Internet control system and method

A communication protocol includes a packet protocol, which includes a protocol field for indicating the type of protocol, a length of data field for listing the length in bytes of the data field, a data field containing sub protocol data, and a checksum for determining the integrity of the packet.
