Abstract
The present invention provides for network control of a radio module having a plurality of input/output (I/O) ports capable of communication with one or more sensing devices across a network, where the radio module may be controlled remotely to obtain information from one or more networked remote sensing devices.
Claims23
A method of providing network control of a radio module having a plurality of input/output (I/O) ports capable of communication with one or more sensing devices across a network, and having a network controlling mechanism in communication with the radio module, comprising:
- identifying a uniform resource indicator (URI) for each of the one or more sensing devices on the network;
- predetermining a physical mapping of each identified URI with one of the plurality of I/O ports of the radio module;
- and,
- communicating at least one command from the radio module to at least one of the one or more sensing devices via the physical mapping over a predetermined protocol across the network.
A computer program product stored on a computer usable medium, comprising:
- computer readable program means for causing a computer to control an execution of an application to perform a method for providing network control of a radio module having a plurality of input/output (I/O) ports capable of communication with one or more sensing devices across a network, and having a network controlling mechanism in communication with the radio module, comprising:
- identifying a uniform resource indicator (URI) for each of the one or more sensing devices on the network;
- predetermining a physical mapping of each identified URI with one of the plurality of I/O ports of the radio module;
- communicating at least one command from the radio module to at least one of the one or more sensing devices via the physical mapping over a predetermined protocol across the network;
- and,
- receiving a response from the at least one of the one or more sensing devices in relation to the communicated at least one command.
A radio module comprising:
- a plurality of input/output (I/O) ports capable of communication with one or more sensing devices across a network, and a network controlling mechanism, wherein the networking mechanism includes a processor configured to:
- identify a uniform resource indicator (URI) for each of the one or more sensing devices on the network;
- predetermine a physical mapping of each identified URI with one of the plurality of I/O ports;
- and,
- communicate at least one command to at least one of
- the one or more sensing devices via the physical mapping over a predetermined protocol across the network.
