Abstract
A method and system that can efficiently broken objects in a real-time constrained network. The method and system provide two main types of interfaces: client object and server object interfaces. Each client object and server object is instantiated from a class derived from a base class. The class libraries may be written in any object-oriented programming language and compiled on to any platform. Thus, the methodology and system are easily ported to other platforms. Additionally, mirrored client and server objects may be generated which allow an object to behave both as a client and as a server.
Claims4
An audio and visual system having components coupled through a network comprising:
- a RMS object representing a remote manager server, said RMS object exposing an interface to provide network management;
- a RCC object representing a remote control center, said RCC object being instantiated and automatically connected to said interface when said remote control center is initiated on the network, said RCC object further operable for connecting to a mirrored interface on an object representing a component controlled by said remote control center;
- and
- an AV object representing an audio and visual processor, said AV object being instantiated and automatically connected to said interface when said audio/visual processor is initiated on the network, said AV object further operable for exposing a mirrored interface to provide status information to an RCC object that represents a remote control center that controls said audio and visual processor.
