Estimating the term…
System, device, method, and computer program and computer program products for providing communicating between devices having similar or dissimilar characteristics and facilitating seamless interoperability between them. Computer program software and methods of and systems and devices for sharing of content, applications, resources and control across similar and dissimilar permanently or intermittently connected electronic devices. Devices, systems, appliances, and the like communicating and/or interoperating within the framework provided. A recruitment interoperability method and model provide an alternative to the conventional client-server and peer-to-peer device interoperability models. Recruitment is used by a software application package to forms teams of devices based on their capabilities and content and then intelligently spread portions of itself to the teams of devices which then work together to carry out the intended purpose of the application package.
In a system including an initiating device and a plurality of other reachable devices formed and coupled for communication as a device team and each other reachable device having a unification engine executing a unification program, a method of executing an individual cross-device pre-linked software application contained in a single binary image across the device team;
The method of claim of 1, wherein each said sub-execution unit includes:
The method of claim of 1, wherein each said sub-execution unit includes (a) program data that is a linear contiguous proper subset range inside of the same one linear data space of the cross-device pre-linked software application.
The method of claim of 1, wherein said cross-device pre-linked software application efficiently takes advantage of the different physical resources and capabilities of the other reachable devices formed into the team, in addition to efficiently utilizing the computational and storage resources of the other reachable devices, by sending only the particular sub-execution units needed to access each individual devices inspected resources and capabilities, wherein the particular sub-execution units may be different for different ones of the other reachable devices.
The method of claim of 1, wherein the method is performed without the participation of a central server.
The method of claim of 1, wherein the method is performed without prior knowledge of what tasks a device perform.
The method of claim of 1, wherein the method is performed without prior knowledge of what tasks a device perform, and the method further including exposing the low-level capabilities and resources of the reachable other device which are determined independently of any current or future application when the Unification program is written.
The method of claim of 1, wherein the method is performed without building or distributing separate executable code.
The method of claim of 1, wherein the method is performed without needing common standardized calling conventions that need to be the same for all the separately built application programs and every combination of versions of the application programs.
The method of claim of 1, wherein the plurality of different sub-execution units of the cross-device pre-linked software application includes:
In a system including an initiating device and a plurality of other reachable devices coupleable for communication as a device team, a method of executing an individual cross-device pre-linked software application contained in a single binary image across the device team;
The method of claim of 29, wherein each said sub-execution unit includes:
The method of claim of 29, wherein each said sub-execution unit includes (a) program data that is a linear contiguous proper subset range inside of the same one linear data space of the cross-device pre-linked software application.
The method of claim of 29, wherein said cross-device pre-linked software application efficiently takes advantage of the different physical resources and capabilities of the other reachable devices formed into the team, in addition to efficiently utilizing the computational and storage resources of the other reachable devices, by sending only the particular sub-execution units needed to access each individual devices inspected resources and capabilities, wherein the particular sub-execution units may be different for different ones of the other reachable devices.
The method of claim of 29, wherein the method is performed without the participation of a central server.
The method of claim of 29, wherein the method is performed without prior knowledge of what tasks a device perform.
The method of claim of 29, wherein the method is performed without prior knowledge of what tasks a device perform, and the method further including exposing the low-level capabilities and resources of the reachable other device which are determined independently of any current or future application when the Unification program is written.
The method of claim of 29, wherein the method is performed without building or distributing separate executable code.
The method of claim of 29, wherein the method is performed without needing common standardized calling conventions that need to be the same for all the separately built application programs and every combination of versions of the application programs.
The method of claim of 29, wherein the plurality of different sub-execution units of the cross-device pre-linked software application includes:
A system for executing an individual cross-device pre-linked software application contained in a single binary image across a device team formed from an initiating device and at least one other reachable device;
The system of claim of 40, wherein each said sub-execution unit includes:
The system of claim of 40, wherein each said sub-execution unit includes (a) program data that is a linear contiguous proper subset range inside of the same one linear data space of the cross-device pre-linked software application.
The system of claim of 40, wherein said cross-device pre-linked software application efficiently takes advantage of the different physical resources and capabilities of the other reachable devices formed into the team, in addition to efficiently utilizing the computational and storage resources of the other reachable devices, by sending only the particular sub-execution units needed to access each individual devices inspected resources and capabilities, wherein the particular sub-execution units may be different for different ones of the other reachable devices.
The system of claim of 40, wherein the method is performed without the participation of a central server.
The system of claim of 40, wherein the method is performed without prior knowledge of what tasks a device perform.
The system of claim of 40, wherein the method is performed without prior knowledge of what tasks a device perform, and the method further including exposing the low-level capabilities and resources of the reachable other device which are determined independently of any current or future application when the Unification program is written.
The system of claim of 40, wherein the method is performed without building or distributing separate executable code.
The system of claim of 40, wherein the method is performed without needing common standardized calling conventions that need to be the same for all the separately built application programs and every combination of versions of the application programs.
The system of claim of 40, wherein the plurality of different sub-execution units of the cross-device pre-linked software application includes:
A computer program product for use in conjunction with a computer system or information appliance, the computer program product comprising a tangible computer readable storage medium and a computer program mechanism embedded therein, the computer program mechanism comprising:
