REMOTING GENERAL PURPOSE OPERATING SYSTEM SERVICES VIA A PEER NETWORKING DEVICE CONTROL PROTOCOL

摘要

An operating system (OS) services-to-peer networking connectivity adapter exposes services of a general purpose operating system to remote control via a peer networking device control protocol, which allows reuse of the operating system service without reprogramming the service as a "controlled device" per the peer networking device control protocol. The adapter includes a publishing service that implements components of a controlled device and operates to emulate a set of controlled devices that expose the functionality of the OS services. A service remoter converts between a publishing application programming interface (API) of the publishing service and the established operating system API of the OS services.
