Patent ID: 7051335

Claim:
A system for transmitting data between a local data processing device and a remote data processing device through an asynchronous transmission channel for use with distributed objects in the field of automation technology, said system comprising: a memory assigned to the local data processing device for storing at least one user-specified parameter to identify a call sent by a first program of the local data processing device to a second program of the remote data processing device to solicit data from the second program of the remote data processing device; means for integrating the user-specified parameter into response data sent by the remote data processing device to the local data processing device; means for identifying the user-specified parameter in the response data; means for synchronizing the response data such that by identifying the user-specified parameter in the response data, the response data of the second program of the remote data processing device is integrated into the first program of the local data processing device; and an asynchronous transmission channel transmitting data between the local data processing device and the remote data processing device wherein the asynchronous transmission channel comprises a forward channel forwarding data from the local data processing device to the remote data processing device and a reverse channel forwarding the data from the remote data processing device to the local data processing device, wherein the forward channel and the reverse channel are not synchronized with each other.
