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 15):
A computer implemented hardware independent peripheral control method comprising:\n executing, by a processor of a host system, a virtualized controller, the virtualized controller, when executed by the host system, providing 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 method further comprising: receiving, at the input interface, peripheral agnostic instructions from the host system; upon receiving the peripheral agnostic instructions at the input interface, generating by the processor of the virtualized controller, corresponding peripheral specific instructions in dependence on the data in the memory; and, outputting the corresponding peripheral specific instructions via the output interface to the peripheral via a physical connection between the host system and the peripheral.
