Abstract
In a system for controlling an apparatus having a dedicated user interface, where parts of the dedicated user interface communicate with each other using a dedicated user interface message protocol, the system comprises a browser adapted to display a generic user interface, to issue requests due to user interaction with the generic user interface and to accept notifications comprising data or events. A translation system is configured to receive issued requests, to translate the requests and to communicate them using the dedicated user interface message protocol to one of the parts of the dedicated user interface, and to receive communications from the parts of the dedicated user interface using the dedicated user interface message protocol, to translate the communications into notifications and to pass them to the browser.
