Abstract
A method of providing network resources for performing a target task includes determining a set of network accessible devices located at a location where the target task is to be accomplished and determining required user interface input/output hardware capabilities needed to accomplish the target task. The method further includes determining a target system configuration needed to accomplish the target task, selecting at least one of the network accessible devices based on the required user interface input/output hardware capabilities and the determined target system configuration, and providing configuration instructions to the selected device based on the device determination.
Claims17
A method of providing network resources for performing a target task, the method comprising:
- determining a set of network accessible devices located at a location where the target task is to be accomplished;
- determining required user interface input/output hardware capabilities needed to accomplish the target task;
- determining a target system configuration needed to accomplish the target task;
- selecting at least one of the network accessible devices based on the required user interface input/output hardware capabilities and the determined target system configuration;
- and
- providing configuration instructions to the selected device based on the device determination.
A method of device aggregation, the method comprising:
- determining network accessible devices at a location where a target task is to be performed and user interface input/output capabilities of the network accessible devices;
- determining a target system configuration required to perform the task;
- determining required user interface input/output capabilities to perform the target task based on the target system configuration;
- requesting configuration approval from the determined devices based on the target system configuration and required user interface input/output capabilities;
- and
- providing configuration instructions to the devices based on configuration approval;
- and
- aggregating the devices to perform the target task using the user interface input/output capabilities of the network accessible devices.
A computer readable medium including computer readable code for device aggregation, the medium comprising:
- computer readable code for determining network accessible devices at a location where a target task is to be performed and user interface input/output capabilities of the network accessible devices;
- computer readable code for determining a target system configuration required to perform the target task;
- computer readable code for determining required user interface input/output capabilities to perform the target task based on the target system configuration;
- computer readable code for requesting configuration approval from the determined devices based on the target system configuration and required user interface input/output capabilities;
- and
- computer readable code for providing configuration instructions to the devices based on configuration approval;
- and
- computer readable code for aggregating the devices to perform the target task using the user interface input/output capabilities of the network accessible devices.
