Claim Text:
1. A method for controlling one or more electronic devices through a host device, the method comprising: establishing frequency-based, real-time electronic communications over a network between the host device and a plurality of controlled devices; assigning each controlled device a discrete control frequency specific to that controlled device using a 2 executing control software in the host device to generate control input parameters for the one or more controlled devices; sending the control input parameters to the one or more controlled devices, wherein the control input parameters for a particular controlled device are always sent to that controlled device at the assigned control frequency for that controlled device; and ensuring that the sum of all the control frequencies for the one or more controlled devices does not exceed the network's bandwidth, so that electronic communication with each controlled device always occurs at the assigned control frequency for that controlled device, thereby facilitating real-time communication with that controlled device; wherein the one or more controlled devices do not include a hardware controller for generating the control input parameters, but instead receive the control input parameters from the host device via the frequency-based, real-time electronic communications.
