摘要:
A method, apparatus, and system are described for accessing networked devices without accessible network addresses via Virtual IP (VIP) addresses. The system consists of a first Device Services Controller (DSC), featuring a Host Controller component that can make available a virtual network interface and corresponding virtual IP address (VIP) and having a first conduit manager to create a first outgoing TCP/IP conduit connection to a device service manager (DSM). When networking traffic arrives at the virtual networking interface with the associated VIP, the Host Controller component automatically processes and forwards that traffic to the DSM. The DSM processes and relays traffic from the first outgoing TCP/IP conduitconnection to a second DSC, which has a Device Controller component and a second conduit manager to create a second direct outgoing TCP/IP conduit connection to the DSM. An IP redirector in the DSM receives communication traffic from the first established TCP/IP conduit connection from the first DSC and then routes the communication traffic down the second established TCP/IP conduit connection to the second DSC based on a Virtual IP address to real IP address mapping stored in the registry of the DSM. The Host Controller component processes and delivers the network traffic from the DSM to the appropriate local networked device and if appropriate send back any return traffic back to the DSM, which will return it to the first DSC for delivery to the originating network device, Using this mechanism, it is possible for two networked devices on separate networks to communicate even if there does not exist a route to the network address of the target device.

The present invention employs a system and method to allow for connectivity of a plurality of medical devices in a health care setting. The present invention utilizes a device server which may connect the plurality of medical devices to a hospital information system. The system may identify and authenticate a medical device and provide an administrator or privileged user accessing the information received from the medical device at a remote location. It is contemplated that the system utilizes a device server to connect the plurality of medical devices to the hospital information systems.

A PCB mountable module includes logic circuitry that translates between serial and wireless communication protocols. Supported standards include I2C, CAN, ProfiBus, SPI, and USB, IP, ARP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, Telnet, TFTP, AutoIP, DHCP, HTTP, and SNMP. Modules can optionally provide security, MILARRS functionality, and web related services such as email alert. The novel modules can be used wherever a device designer wants a plug-in (or "drop-in") system that obviates the need for independent development and maintenance of wireless capability. Examples include servers, desktop and laptop computers, and even devices such as kitchen appliances with relatively simpler electronics.

A system and method to allow for connectivity of a plurality of medical devices in a health care setting and the delivery of data from those medical devices to an individual to utilize the information received is provided. In typical medical devices, the reporting of data is distinct and hard to interpret. The present invention provides a set of graphical tools that allow the interpretation of different data from different medical devices. Additionally, the present invention provides a set of software tools that allows the data received from a plurality of different medical devices to be separated into more appropriate fields based on pre-determined configuration to assign specific flagged data to specific devices. This information allows the user to receive data whereby the data is previously interpreted to determine from what medical device the information has been received and how to interpret the data for further processing. The present invention also allows for interpreted data received from a plurality of medical devices to be sent to a health care information system department for further processing and analysis.
摘要:
A method, apparatus, and system are described for accessing networked devices without accessible network addresses via Virtual IP (VIP) addresses. The system consists of a soft Device Services Controller (DSC), downloaded on a first local network from the device service manager (DSM) on a wide area network, and a VIP Access enabled device on a second local network separate from the first area network. The soft DSC and associated VIP Access enabled device create a virtual network interface and corresponding virtual IP address (VIP) to permit outgoing TCP/IP conduit connection to the DSM. When networking traffic arrives at the virtual networking interface with the associated VIP, the soft DSC automatically processes and forwards that traffic to the DSM. Using this mechanism, it is possible for two networked devices on separate networks to communicate in spite of firewalls and without knowledge of each other's network.

An apparatus and a method for developing web site applications within an embedded device that may be easy to implement, debug, modify, deliver and maintain are provided. The apparatus and method remove all HTML from the embedded device firmware and utilizes web browser scripting to render the web pages properly. Removing all HTML from the embedded device firmware may allow for the creation of different and dynamic web site applications utilizing the same data served by a single compiled firmware image.

A device server intended for attaching serial devices to a network includes Ethernet communications, an Ethernet switch, and serial communication capability so that multiple device servers are connected in a 'daisy chain' or series pattern. Galvanic isolation of the power supply from the housing and communication ports, screw terminal and modular connections, DIN rail mounting, broad power supply voltage ranges or 'Power-over- Ethernet' and operator visible indicator lamps with a pulse stretching feature greatly simplify installation and use.
