摘要： A method of maintaining persistent unique identifiers for devices interconnected in a network. Information is obtained from a device and a fingerprint generated from that information. It is then determined if the fingerprint is previously associated with an identifier in the network. If the fingerprint is not previously associated with an identifier in the network, then a new identifier associated with the fingerprint is generated, and the fingerprint and the associated new identifier is stored in a memory, wherein the new identifier forms a persistent unique identifier (PUID) for that device. Otherwise, if the fingerprint is not previously associated with an identifier in the network, then the associated identifier stored in the memory is used as the persistent unique identifier (PUID) for that device.

摘要： A method of unifying the different, device-specific and platform-specific access control lists (ACL) for different users and user groups in a home network. The home network has networked heterogeneous devices and hosting where a user is presented with a consistent, single view of ACL on home-wide users and user groups. Users in the home network, therefore, do not need to control ACL for device-specific users and user groups on each individual device. Instead, a user controls the home-wide ACL for home-wide users and user groups. The changes to home-wide ACL for home-wide users and user groups are propagated to individual devices. Further, changes on individual devices can be made to device-specific ACL for device-specific users and user groups. Such changes are subsequently propagated to the home-wide ACL for home-wide users and user groups.

摘要： A method and system that facilitates prioritization of tasks available through the devices in a home network. The tasks are user level descriptions of the high-level actions a user and underlying devices can perform. By prioritizing tasks for a user, the present invention aims to minimize the effort required to compare and comprehend the usefulness and feasibility of tasks. In doing so, the number of tasks possible to a user can be reduced and the highest priority task for a given user and device can be used by the application software as the suggested ‘most likely’ task for the user.

摘要： A method for offloading execution load from a resource-constrained device to allow the device to run a resource intensive software program. A program is accessed using a first device and determines whether execution of the program will exceed resources of the first device. If the execution will exceed the resources of the first device, a load split is determined to split the program into a first portion and a second portion. The second portion of the program is offloaded to a second device, while the first portion of the program is retained on the first device. The first portion and second portion communicate via a network connection. Full program functionality is provided using the first device, wherein the functionality is provided by the first portion and second portion executing respectively on the first device and the second device.

摘要： A method and system for pushing notifications to devices in a network including client devices and server devices. A connection is established between a client device and a server device. The client device sends a request for data to the server device. The server device sends a reply to the client device in response to the request, such that the reply contains a notification request for the client device to request further information from the server device. Further, the server device automatically notifies the client device that an event has occurred.
