A constellation is determined in reference to a particular combination of devices and/or software, some or all of which may be coupled with a network. A constellation addresses aggregate capabilities provided by a combination of devices and/or software available on the network. The network may define multiple constellations. Services are written for constellations, and the services may be pulled from external sources for use on the network. A server on the network, such as a service host, may coordinate and manage obtaining services from the external sources, and removing or disabling services for constellations no longer valid.

Servicing device aggregates

A device includes a display screen a processor to render a display of a portion of a logical image on the screen. The logical image is larger than that which can be displayed on the display screen of the device. As the device is maneuvered through space, different portions of the logical image are displayed, and the user may interact with these portions as desired.

Mobile virtual desktop

A personal information communicator may include a remote device detector, a display, a remote device location detector, an information collection module, a presentation module, a selection module, a linking module, and an expression module. The remote device detector may receive an indicator from remote device(s) in an external region of space. The display may present a representation of a field of view of the region of space. The remote device location detector may determine the location of remote device(s). The information collection module may collect data associated with the remote device(s) within the field of view. The presentation module may present identifying information for each of the one or more remote devices on the display, the identifying information determined at least in part using the data. The selection module may pick selected remote device(s) from the remote device(s). The linking module may link to the selected remote device(s).

Methods and apparatus for controlling an electronic device connected to a network are provided. The methods and apparatus described herein convert a text based device list and/or a text based function list into text based voice prompt scripts. The voice prompt scripts are then read to a user via a text-to-speech engine. The user responds with a voice command for a device. The voice command is converted to text by a voice recognition engine. This text is then used to send a command to the electronic device via the network.
