Abstract:
A hardware independent peripheral control system and method are disclosed. The system comprises: a virtualised controller ( 20 ) executable by a processor ( 35 ) of a host system ( 30 ). The virtualised controller ( 20 ), when executed by the host system ( 30 ), has an input interface ( 21 ), an output interface ( 22 ), a processor ( 23 ) and a memory ( 24 ). The memory ( 24 ) encodes data on one or more peripheral specific instructions to control a peripheral ( 40 ) attached or connected to the host system ( 30 ). The input interface ( 21 ) is configured to receive peripheral agnostic instructions from the host system ( 30 ). Upon receiving the peripheral agnostic instructions at the input interface ( 21 ), the processor ( 23 ) of the virtualised controller ( 20 ) is configured to generate corresponding peripheral specific instructions in dependence on the data in the memory ( 24 ) and output the corresponding peripheral specific instructions via the output interface ( 22 ) to the peripheral ( 40 ) via a physical connection between the host system ( 30 ) and a peripheral ( 40 ).

Claim (Index 1):
A hardware independent peripheral control system comprising:\n a virtualized controller executable by a processor of a host system, the virtualized controller, when executed by the host system, having an input interface, an output interface, a processor and a memory, the memory encoding data on one or more peripheral specific instructions to control a peripheral attached to the host system, the input interface being configured to receive peripheral agnostic instructions from the host system, wherein upon receiving the peripheral agnostic instructions at the input interface, the processor of the virtualized controller is configured to generate corresponding peripheral specific instructions in dependence on the data in the memory and output the corresponding peripheral specific instructions via the output interface to the peripheral via a physical connection between the host system and a peripheral.
