Abstract
There is provided asystem and architecture for accessing and communicating with digital image devices. The system is provided in the form of software components that are platform independent for the development of software for managing or controlling digital image devices. The software components are easily integrated with existing development tools, have native functionality, and can be implemented independently of Common Information Model or Simple Network Management Protocol architectures.
Claims30
A system for communicating with digital image devices comprising:
- a language binding software component for receiving information from a software application;
- and
- a plurality of digital image device software components comprising a plurality of packages and classes for receiving information from the language binding software component and selectively communicating with a digital imaging device in response to the information received from the language binding software component.
An object model for a component based system for communicating with digital image devices, the object model comprising a first level primary package comprising a plurality of subpackages, the subpackages configured for receiving information from a language binding software component and selectively communicating with a digital imaging device in response to the information received from the language binding software component.
An object model for a component based system for communicating with digital image devices, the object model comprising a first level primary package having a plurality of subpackages, each subpackage having a plurality of classes configured for specific communication with a digital imaging device, the primary package comprising:
- a subpackage having classes configured for communication relative to digital imaging device settings;
- a subpackage having classes configured for communication relative to the types of jobs the digital imaging device is to perform;
- a subpackage having classes configured for communication relative to the handling of images;
- and
- a subpackage having classes configured for communication relative to network information, protocols and settings.
