A web browser executes on a device that has controllable operational features, such as sensor, actuator, and process-related features, and that is connected to other devices via a network. The web browser receives a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) document including HTML device tags. Each of the HTML device tags includes a command configured to control a corresponding one of the operational features of the device. The web browser determines, based on each HTML device tag, the command therein to control the corresponding operational feature. The web browser issues the determined command to the corresponding operational feature so as to control the operational feature.

HTML device tags to control operational features of devices in an internet of things

A determination is made at a server that a network connected device is to control monitoring performed by a first network connected sensor. A first connection is established between the network connected device and the first network connected sensor, the first connection providing control of the first network connected sensor by the network connected device. A context change for the network connected device is determined. A second connection between the network connected device and a second network connected sensor is established, the second connection providing control of the second network connected sensor by the network connected device.

A web browser configured to execute on a network element receives a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) document including HTML network service tags. The network service tags include commands to cause a corresponding network action to be taken in connection with the network element, such as configuring and/or causing information to be read from the network element. The web browser determines, based on each HTML network service tag, the command to cause the network action to be taken in connection with the network element. The web browser issues the determined command for each HTML network service tag to a corresponding application program interface (API), which in turn cause the network action to be taken in connection with the network element.
