Abstract
An apparatus and a system, as well as a method and article, may operate to send a selected data type without self-definition information to a receiver if a state capable of interpreting the selected data type has been maintained by the receiver, and to send the selected data type with the self-definition information to the receiver if the state capable of interpreting the selected data type has not been maintained by the receiver.
Claims19
A method, comprising:
- determining by a transmitter whether a state capable of interpreting a selected data type has been maintained by a receiver;
- determining that the receiver has not received a communication from another transmitter after the reciever has been trained to enter the state capable of interpreting the selected data type by a training transmitter;
- sending the selected data type without self-definition information from the transmitter to the receiver if the state capable of interpreting the selected data type has been maintained by the receiver;
- and
- sending the selected data type with the self-definition information from the transmitter to the receiver if the state capable of interpreting the selected data type has not been maintained by the receiver.
An article comprising a computer readable medium having associated information, wherein the information, when accessed, results in a machine performing:
- determining by a transmitter whether a state capable of interpreting a selected data type has been maintained by a receiver;
- determining that the reciever has not received has not a communication from another transmitter after the reciever has been trained to enter the state capable of interpreting the selected data type by a training transmitter;
- sending the selected data type without self-definition information from the transmitter to the receiver if the state capable of interpreting the selected data type has been maintained by the receiver;
- and
- sending the selected data type with the self-definition information from the transmitter to the receiver if the state capable of interpreting the selected data type has not been maintained by the receiver.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a transmitter to selectively send a selected data type to a receiver with or without self-definition information;
- and
- a determination module included in the transmitter to determine whether a state capable of interpreting the selected data type has been maintained by the receiver after the receiver has been trained to enter the state by the transmitter;
- and
- to determine whether the receiver has not received a communication from another transmitter after the receiver has been trained to enter the state capable of interpreting the selected data type by a training transmitter.
A system, comprising:
- a transmitter to selectively send a selected data type with or without self-definition information;
- a receiver to receive the selected data type;
- and
- a determination module included in the transmitter to determine whether a state capable of interpreting a selected data type to be sent by the transmitter has been maintained by the receiver after the receiver has been trained to enter the state by the transmitter;
- and
- to determine whether the reciever has not received a communication from another transmitter after the reciever has been trained to enter the state capable of interpreting the selected data type by a training transmitter.
