Abstract:
1. A method for controlling through a non-IEEE1394 network a device which is connected to a Home Audio Video interoperability (HAVi) network system, the method comprising: (a) installing a non-IEEE1394 communications module and a proxy manager in a control device connected to the HAVi network system; (b) installing a havlet and a client proxy in the controller having a non-IEEE1394 communications module; (c) converting a user control command input through the havlet into a HAVi message; (d) packaging the HAVi message into a non-IEEE1394 network message through the client proxy and transmitting the non-IEEE1394 network message to the proxy manager through the non-IEEE1394 communication module; and (e) extracting the HAVi message from the non-IEEE1394 network message through the proxy manager and sending the HAVi message to a messaging system installed in the control device, wherein the proxy manager comprises a first Application Program Interface (API) which generates a network connection to the client proxy and provides an identifier to the client proxy, a second API which provides information on havlets to the client proxy, a third API which provides a havlet Code Unit for installing the havlets, and a fourth API which after the havlet is executed, enables communications between the havlet and other devices or elements connected to the HAVi network system.
