Abstract:
1. A remote user interface for use with an appliance, the remote user interface having at least one memory location and at least one selectable data inputs, and a taxonomy dataset in the at least one memory location, having a plurality of command components associated with at least one function of a cycle of operation in a current state of the appliance wherein at least one element of the dataset is associated with the at least one selectable data input, and wherein the taxonomy dataset is generated by the appliance at any change in a state of the appliance where the available functions for the state change from one state to another, received in the at least one memory location at runtime, and limited to only those functions available for the cycle of operation in the then current state of the appliance, and one of a software architecture and a software architecture driver configured to create, alter, or enable transmission of messages, and a taxonomy translator configured to convert the taxonomy dataset into software component specific interfaces associated with the at least one selectable data inputs, the at least one selectable data input is generated as an output of the taxonomy translator whenever a new taxonomy dataset is received upon a change in state of the appliance, and wherein the remote user interface can generate a well-formed command based on the taxonomy dataset, and send the well-formed command to the appliance and to affect a cycle of operation in the then current state when at least one data input is selected.
