  • the markup language of the present invention is directed toward a language that is intent-based. It is defined as a language that is not strictly connected only to the text of the script, but also the intent of the language. For example, the term “technical university”, when translated into other languages, may not have the exact same meaning as it does in English. According to the markup language of the present invention, nested “tags” are created to indicate the object of the intent of the term. Thus “technical university” is defined according the language of the present invention as “ ⁇ institution> ⁇ university> ⁇ technical>”, so that a computer can easily locate and analyze terms in the language.
  • the markup language and system of the present invention consists of two parts—the mini-server in webspace and the web browsers that interact with the mini-server.
  • the mini-server accepts requests for access, allowing data to be transmitted, and preventing unauthorized access as well.
  • the markup language enables the device to be defined both statically and dynamically.
  • the browser is an interpreter which takes the language script and displays the information on the webpage, depending on the predetermined level of clearance.
  • the markup language and mini-server allow users to access the device, whether the user is the actual owner of the product, the distributor, a market research firm, or the manufacturer.
  • the predetermined level of information displayed is provided for each user, so that no private information is disclosed or no unnecessary information overwhelms a user.
  • the mini-server filters the data, allowing only the pertinent information to reach the desired users.
  • the object-oriented language turns devices into web-based objects; in other words, devices are given identities on the Internet that users can access. That identity is a webpage and each device displays information about itself on its webpage. Not only can users interact with devices through the Internet, but devices can also interact with other devices independent of human-driven contact. For example, devices of the same make and model can access each other's webpage and determine which device has the newest software version installed. The device with the older version can then download the newer version from the other device, or contact the manufacturer for the upgrade. This is particularly useful in the event the device has been inactive for a long period, such as the time from manufacture to the first activation by the end user, or if the device is simply infrequently used.
  • Devices can recognize other devices that are of the same type or manufacturer and become linked, in a form of an electronic family. A host or other user could then access this family of devices as a whole, rather than separately. For example, devices within a home could prioritize themselves and deactivate themselves to save energy.
  • HTML is a standard script for webpages, but HTML has no capability to run a content-driven web page. Even for a very simple webpage, the HTML version of the webpage tells very little about the content of the webpage. Aside from the meta-tags, whose sole purpose is to provide a small amount of content for the object-oriented web concept, there is other way to understand what the actual content of the webpage is unless you are a human user interpreting the final result of the webpage on a computer screen.
  • Each tag listed, shown above in an example, represents something pertaining to the webpage and its contents.
  • the language of the present invention is content-based which enables a user to define a webpage by indiscriminate content, but also a computer that is programmed to conduct automated research can make sense of the webpage contents since all information is clearly labeled.
  • Another advantage of the language is the indiscriminate content, which eliminates language barriers.
  • the content of the webpage moves through translation seamlessly, since the webpage states that it is intent for representation (i.e., ⁇ university>, ⁇ institution>).
  • a generic term such as institution can be further represented, or described, in the tree structure as shown above, to provide more detail as required. For example, in Germany, there are various terms that describe educational institutions that overlap those used in American English. This tree structure of the language eliminates this potentially confusing situation.
  • an example device (a water treatment system) will be used to demonstrate the present invention.
  • This device is located in a wireless network at a remote location.
  • Each tag is object (or device) oriented. This language is highly portable and embeddable in various electronic devices, such as a water treatment system.
  • the ⁇ device> tag represents the class of the object/device in webspace.
  • ⁇ automated machine>, ⁇ webpage>, ⁇ script>, etc are possible descriptors of the class of the object to be defined in webspace.
  • ⁇ type> which in this example is “water treatment system”.
  • a computer program within the mini-server is designed to interpret this script and information.
  • the browser contacts the IP address of the treatment system, and would receive the script listed above, sent from the device's mini-server.
  • the browser is able to contact certain types of devices—in this example, water treatment systems.
  • the engine can also limit its queries by inventor, Acme Incorporated only, for example.
  • both units of weight are on the same indent, or nesting level. This arrangement tells the engine that each value is a weight characteristic and can be used at the discretion of the interpreting engine. In the case of a computer with a browser, based in Europe, accessing a device in the USA, since results are desired in metric units, only the metric value will be accessed. Also included in the language of the present invention is a short-hand method of closing tags “ ⁇ /”.
  • the ⁇ user page> tag is a standard level tag which is nested inside the type tag ( ⁇ type> or ⁇ water treatment system> in the example). This tag is included in the event the host or user desires to embed any additional script.
  • the script need not be compatible with the object-oriented format, or it may be a script that is object-oriented in the markup language and could be used to program a user interface.
  • the ⁇ user page> tag could be a default webpage that opens if a web browser attempts to access the device IP address. This is useful to deter a user from altering the background tags, which have more importance to the host, manufacturer, or computer programs conducting research meant to access the particular information. Rather, the user is presented with an attractive user interface webpage, which provides all the information the user has need of.
  • the scripting technique of the present invention acts fluidly, flexibly changing between the embedded hardware and the outside user, whether end user, manufacturer, or other party, and the analyzing engine.
  • the encrypted dynamic serial number is securely extracted to a host or outside computer with no risk to the user's privacy. While the serial numbers are encrypted, the host or computer program can easily browse through many devices and quickly extract the desired information.
  • the processor of information in the present invention is the browser.
  • the browser accesses many devices through their mini-servers by IP addresses, reads the script, such as shown above, and interprets it.
  • the browser extracts the encrypted serial number, decrypts the numbers, and extracts any information regarding each device as programmed.
  • the browser considers each device unique, according to its serial number, usually treated as the defining factor. However, other factors could be used to sort the information, such as IP address, location, usage rate, etc.
  • the present invention is very versatile. Tags can be altered and exchanged to follow different formats for different needs. See the examples below detailing the script's versatility.
  • Percent used 70% Times used: 667 Query Prompt: “to give a command for asking anything about the device, which may be an option.”
