Abstract
Methods and virtual devices for providing data from a virtual device to a virtual requestor device. The method comprises registering the virtual device with a registrar computer using a first application interface. The virtual device then receives a data feed request from the registrar at a second application interface. The data feed request comprises information enabling communication between the virtual device and a virtual requestor device and information identifying a data feed. In response to determining the request is to be granted, the virtual device provides the data feed to the requestor device using the information enabling communication between the two devices.
Claims32
A virtual device comprising:
- a first application interface operable to register the virtual device with a registrar computer;
- a second application interface configured to receive a data feed request from the registrar computer, the data feed request comprising information enabling communication between the virtual device and a virtual requestor device and information identifying a data feed associated with the virtual device;
- and
- a logic module in communication with the first and second application interfaces, the logic module configured to, in response to determining the data feed request is to be granted, provide the identified data feed to the virtual requestor device using the information enabling communication between the virtual device and the virtual requestor device.

A virtual device comprising:
- a first application interface operable to register the virtual device with a registrar computer;
- and
- a second application interface configured to receive an actuation request from the registrar computer, the actuation request comprising information identifying a virtual requestor device and actuation data identifying an action to be performed by the virtual device;
- a logic module in communication with the first and second application interfaces, the logic module configured to, in response to determining the actuation request is to be granted, provide the registrar computer with information enabling communication between the virtual requestor device and the virtual device;
- and
- a second application interface configured to receive the actuation data from the virtual requestor device using the information enabling communication between the virtual requestor device and the virtual device;
- wherein the logic module is further configured to, in response to receiving the actuation data, perform the action.
