1-17. (canceled)
A method of operating a real device capable of generating ambient stimuli and having at least one adjustable parameter associated therewith, the method comprising:
- a) storing a real-world description in the form of at least one markup language instruction;
- b) communicating the real-world description to others of network objects;
- c) receiving a specific parameter adjustment from another of the network objects;
- d) modifying the least one parameter according to the specific parameter adjustment;
- and
- e) generating ambient stimuli according to the modified parameter.
A real device operably coupled to other network objects and capable of generating ambient stimuli and having at least one adjustable parameter related thereto, the device comprising:
- means for storing a real-world description in the form of at least one instruction of a markup language;
- means for communicating the real-world description to other of the network objects;
- means for receiving a specific parameter adjustment from another of the network objects;
- and
- means for modifying the at least one adjustable parameter according to the specific parameter adjustment.
A real-world representation system comprising:
- A) a plurality of real devices having one or more real-world parameters and capable of generating ambient stimulus, one of the real devices capable of storing and transmitting a real world description;
- B) a server, operably coupled to the plurality of real devices, the server comprising:
- i) means for interpreting a received real-world description;
- ii) means for generating a specific parameter adjustment in accordance with an interpretation of a received real-world description;
- and
- iii) means for communicating the specific parameter adjustment to the plurality of real devices.
