Abstract:
A method in a protocol adaptor system for enabling a newly connected device to communicate with a generic application in a communications network, where the generic application uses a generic protocol. The method includes detecting that the device is unsupported by a specific protocol and that the device uses a variant of the specific protocol in the system. The method further includes determining a new fragment required for communication adaptation of the specific protocol, and retrieving the new fragment needed for adaptation of the specific protocol to said variant. The method further includes installing the fragment in the specific protocol, to enable communication between the generic application and the newly connected device.
Abstract:
An information processing system for offering a remote access from a device to a virtual service provided in a local network is provided. The virtual service invokes native services provisioned by a service provider. The system comprising: a management unit managing service information specifying a shortcut component of the service: an obtaining unit obtaining a request for the virtual service from the device; a receiving unit receiving the service information from the management unit; a specification unit specifying a shortcut component for the requested virtual service based on the received service information; an invoking unit executing the specified shortcut component by invoking native services to the service provider, and transferring the other component of the requested virtual service to the local network; a combination unit combining results; and a response unit responding the combined result to the device.
Abstract:
A method in a protocol adaptor system (100) for enabling a newly connected device (140) to communicate with a generic application (150) in a communications network where the generic application (150) uses a generic protocol. The method comprises detecting that the device (140) is unsupported by a specific protocol and that the device uses a variant of the specific protocol in the system. The method further comprises determining a new fragment required for communication adaptation of said specific protocol. The method further comprises retrieving the new fragment needed for adaptation of the specific protocol to said variant. The method further comprises installing the fragment in the specific protocol thereby enabling said communication between the generic application (150) and the newly connected device (140).
