lk 2 performs the remote device connection procedure. It is said that: the name of the communication protocol object corresponding to the controlled terminal controlled by 2m '; the remote device = shall; the name of the protocol object and the required communication protocol object; It should be known that the message to the remote device is shown: 'It contains:-Object two; Coded 1 :: Fixed object address (relative path),-= type: file name': end followed by 'Control end device responds to the object from far away. Take out the remote line in the name format: the control device responds to the connection terminal% and the connection is directed to the direction of the connection. Then, as shown in the twelve B, # contains: a request to connect: set the second connection format as shown in the figure, a control terminal Address,-remote device address. Connection protocol In the method of the present invention, the "protocol is defined in the way that the control end device and the remote end are equipped with a special tf. ^ FTP ,. HTTP ^ /; CP! Ρ; / Ύ / to HTTP is the most convenient. The transmission method is similar to the conventional one, in which the Get method in the exchange protocol is used. The "object (web server) and client (web server) and client (web server) used by both ends of the HTTP server: do not issue request commands for the web server client. The server is responsible for waiting for the client" When a demand command is requested, the search server of the protocol object receives the response signal from the user, and sends the required object to the user Ershi. The demand command shows the above HTTP request protocol object command format.

～ OOOJ ～ OOOJ Before the return round, the control terminal device B) took out the "communication protocol path and the controlled protocol object" setting, and asked the remote device 'The object passed this object is applicable. The console type displays the above-mentioned object with a 5-hole agreement object. "The control device required by the end device can pass the program to the part between the controlled device and the controlled device. The user of the program waits for the user of the control program and the servo part according to the command can The capacity and analysis of the device without the command format is shown in Figure 10, "Length Marking and Copies". In the invention description (10), "Communication Protocol Object" begins with the name of the object and the "communication" Cooperative: Ten: $: And use the "Get" webpage ::, ":" The remote device address is relative to the path 彳 τ <,,,;; Is there any H reverse to the remote installation if the remote device has this object? Compare with the model of the Γ controlled terminal that was sent and transmitted this "Protocol Object" on the same day. Fourteenth figure π + Α: The 'control terminal device stores and executes the communication, and the cooperative object' is the control terminal device controlling the controlled object, and the communication protocol object includes; the control terminal reaches the control command method and the control terminal Round information. The expression of the control method in the above communication protocol object is divided into the servo part and the user part server part stored in the controlled device, responsible for receiving control commands issued by ^ ^, and analyzing the input and output devices around the control command. Be controlled. To describe the program in any language, it is necessary to have the ability to control the data sent by the peripheral line control module. As shown in the above five control, it contains: a control command code, a number of data. The user part control program is "communication protocol

Page 14 558883 V. Description of the invention (11) The controlled device is still in use. When the operating system in the controlled device is needed, Java is most suitable for the server device. It can be recorded in the same directory to the list. Profile list record. Part of the above control, the format of the record, by updating the instrument settings at any time Arbitrary text formatting and editing, as shown in Figure 7. Did not communicate with the wheel. Because of this user condition, the control command is stored and executed. The picture shows the status of the instrument control equipment. Because the control remote device is sent to any one, and the Chinese description is used to control the JVM) The data is recorded in the protocol object before the data terminal device is contacted. The program must be able to execute across platforms. Therefore, the user part of the program can be transmitted by the Java program to the Java program of the user part and the Java Virtual Machine (and the sixteenth part of the "protocol object" shows the control data contained in the "protocol object" It is also the "control object" equipment and its current status and this status description. The controlled device and the control device can be reached. The description data can be stored in a database or XML on different platforms. The data can be described in XML. After the private control data is described in XML as shown in Figure 10, it can be compressed and archived with the Java program and stored in the controlled device. This compressed file is the "control object". After transmission to the control device, the control data can be directly read or updated by the JVM execution control program, or XML compression to obtain funding expected to read. 'Information through a list of available host control objects need to perform relatively Java programs and XML data. Seventeenth figure shows the xml above described control

Figure 18 shows that the control terminal uses Ηττρ to request a protocol object from a remote device. The control end uses a wireless control module to search and connect with the controlled end. The wireless control module may be a Bluetooth protocol stack (see FIG. 20). In Figure 18, first write a private type on the control side to request protocol objects from a remote device using HTTP, so that it can request the required objects from a remote device through the network. HTTP can also use FTP (File Transfer Protocol ) Instead. As for some user programs, you can write a Java program, which is the aforementioned TV control object, which contains all the commands for adjusting the TV, such as t eight! Depending on the channel, volume, TV power switch, etc., this can be understood and analyzed between the server and the server. If the server receives f ΐ 22, you can adjust the operation of the TV according to the command. The above TV control operation is shown in Figure 19. The side command display and the client pass the wireless control module to transmit the upper-layer application 4 and the client uses the Bluetooth protocol layer and data, and the command is transmitted through the wireless control module between the two stations. The program provides various interfaces (such as transmitting and sending commands. Wang can use Bluetooth wirelessly through the interface to ί ΐ ί Ϊ Ming has revealed in several preferred embodiments that the above is not within the spirit and scope, and it can never leave The field of the invention can be modified and retouched.
