State machine based script applications and systems

Abstract

An example system includes a plurality of scriptable devices, each of which exposes an interface. The system may also comprise a medium storing data indicating, for each of a mapped plurality of device operations, one or more inputs to provide to a corresponding device from the plurality of scriptable devices and a conversion between that device operation and a corresponding application command. In such a system, the medium may also store a plurality of scripts, each of which may have a corresponding scriptable device from the plurality of scriptable devices and may comprise a set of device operations. The system may also comprise a computer to repeatedly preform an operation cycle comprising determining whether an application command should be executed and, when it should, generating a globally unique identifier corresponding to that command and adding that globally unique identifier and a device operation corresponding to that command to a log.
