A method for communication between a plurality of devices connected to each other through a network. Each device includes at least one service that provides a set of functions for controlling and/or monitoring the device. A service of a first device detects the presence of a second device, detects the presence of a service of the second device, retrieves information about the functions of the service of the second device, and invokes a function of the service of the second device. A system architecture for communication between the devices includes a communication module configured to enable a service of a first device to detect the presence of a second device, to detect the presence of a service of the second device, to retrieve information about the functions of the service of the second device and to invoke a function of the service of the second device.

Method, system architecture and computer software for communication between devices

A system including a number of intelligent devices connected to each other through a network. The devices are adapted for interacting with each other and automatically discovering new devices by sending and receiving messages over the network. Each intelligent device has a hardware and a software unit. The network includes a plurality of connections having different comminications protocols. The software unit includes a module for discovering a new connection between the devices, identifying the communication protocol of the new connection, and creating a channel adapted for sending and receiving messages between the devices over the determined communication protocol. A method for providing such a system includes connecting an intelligent device to a intelligent device via a connection having a communication protocol, discovering the connection and identifying the communication protocol of the connection, and creating a channel, for each of the devices respectively, adapted for sending and receiving messages between the devices over the determined communication protocol.
