IPC: G05B19/042
Filed: 2009-09-30
Abstract: An object can be used in an industrial control configuration in relation to performing a function or task. Matching can occur such that an object with operational requirements can bind with a host that has capabilities that meet those operational requirements - matching can occur automatically as well as through user operation. Once matched, different functionality can be presented to a user pertaining to the object. To assist the user, the object can include external references, logic, local or private data, as well as others in addition to resources. To facilitate operation, capabilities and resources can be published in a directory that can be accessed by different entities - sometimes with security constraints in order to protect configuration integrity. Likewise, a subscription system can be employed such that when a change to a related entity is made, a notice can transfer to related entities and operation can alter based upon the change.

Abstract: The invention discloses a method and apparatus for information retrieval in scenarios where the relation between contents and user has a multilingual nature. The problem of content access subsists when the user does not have a standard capacity in the language of contents. The invention proposes a system so that access accounts for the user's variable linguistic capacity in the language of contents, and metrics and additional information can be generated which make possible an optimized access. The user's linguistic capacity is measured by applying the information of a linguistic knowledge base, personalized or predefined. The metrics computed include suitability predictors for the functions of understanding, learning and reviewing. The additional information supplements the deficits in user's knowledge for the toughest contents, and provides a method for improvement through the progressive training of the knowledge base.
