Abstract
A method, apparatus, system, and computer readable medium for communicating between an apparatus hosting a workflow application and a device, by generating a template including a placeholder. The instruction template is then sent to the device and a device output is received from the device, the device output including device data generated by the device and inserted into the placeholder of the template.
Claims16
A system for communicating between an apparatus hosting a workflow application and a device, the system comprising:
- a processor, at the apparatus, configured to generate a template including a placeholder;
- and
- an interface, at the apparatus, configured to send the template to the device and configured to receive a device output from the device, the device output including device data generated by the device and inserted into the placeholder of the template.
A method for communicating between an apparatus hosting a workflow application and a device, the method comprising:
- generating, at the workflow application, an instruction template for an instruction;
- sending, by the workflow application, the instruction template to the device;
- receiving, by the device, the instruction template;
- generating, by the device, an output;
- integrating, by the device, the output into the instruction template thereby producing a completed output instruction message;
- sending, by the device, the completed output instruction message;
- receiving, by the workflow application, the completed output instruction message;
- and
- processing, by the workflow application, the completed output instruction message.
A computer-readable storage medium including computer executable instructions for communicating between an apparatus hosting a workflow application and a device, wherein the instructions, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method comprising:
- generating a template including a placeholder;
- sending the template to the device;
- and
- receiving a device output from the device, the device output including device data generated by the device and inserted into the placeholder of the template.
