Abstract
Disclosed is a method and system for enabling a user, through a user interface, to manage a correspondence that defines how information about a state of a first device at a first location is to be used to control a second device at a second location.
Claims30
A method comprising:
- through a user interface, enabling a user to specify or change information that is stored at a virtual connection server and that specifies a virtual connection and a first end and a second end associated with the virtual connection,
- the virtual connection being effected by making available at the second end an updated state of a first device that is associated with the first end and is received at the virtual connection server,
- the updated state at the second end being made available from the virtual connection server for use in controlling a second device associated with the second end.
A system comprising:
- a computer-implemented user interface device to enable a user to specify or change information that is stored at a virtual connection server and that specifies a virtual connection and a first end and a second end associated with the virtual connection,
- the virtual connection being effected by making available at the second end an updated state of a first device that is associated with the first end and is received at the virtual connection server,
- the updated state at the second end being made available from the virtual connection server for use in controlling a second device associated with the second end.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions to:
- through a user interface, enabling a user to specify or change information that is stored at a virtual connection server and that specifies a virtual connection and a first end and a second end associated with the virtual connection,
- the virtual connection being effected by making available at the second end an updated state of a first device that is associated with the first end and is received at the virtual connection server,
- the updated state at the second end being made available from the virtual connection server for use in controlling a second device associated with the second end.
