Abstract:
1. A method comprising: coupling an application gateway to a physical device and a network, said application gateway having a non-transitory memory for storage of program instructions, said physical device being disposed to be controlled by said application gateway, said physical device including at least one register including register information manipulable by said application gateway, wherein manipulation of said register information controls said physical device; receiving at the application gateway, at least correlation information between the physical device and said at least one register, wherein synchronous communications with the network are mapped to asynchronous communications with the physical device, and controlling the physical device by manipulating the register information using synchronous type communication between two network-connected systems to exchange messages between the physical device and a server coupled to the application gateway; receiving command information from the physical device; translating relevant command information into register operations, wherein the command information includes asynchronous operations not part of the native interface command of the physical device.
