REMOTELY CONTROLLING NODE FUNCTIONALITY

摘要

Systems and methods for providing registration at a remote site that may include, for example, a monitoring module that may communicate with a remote site. A registration protocol may be used by the monitoring module and the remote site in generating the messages communicated during the registration process. The monitoring module may gather and generate various identification information to be included in the registration protocol messages. The registration information provided by the monitoring module may be stored at the remote site in a database server having a database. A confirmation message may be communicated from the remote site to the monitoring module that may either acknowledge successful registration or report that an error occurred during the registration process.

1. A system, comprising:
a node being configured to perform a function at a location remote from a remote site, the node being identifiable by an identifier that is used at least in part to facilitate registration of the node at the remote site, wherein registration of the node at the remote site involves associating the identifier that identifies the node with a user account at the remote site, wherein the node is located remote from the remote site; and a client application being configured to execute on a client device to:
output, via the client device, a graphical user interface having a display component that corresponds to the function that the node is configured to perform;receive, via the client device, a user input that corresponds to a user interaction with the display component of the graphical user interface that corresponds to the function that the node is configured to perform; andoutput, via a network interface of the client device, a command that corresponds to the user input and that, when received and executed by the node, at least partially controls performance of the function according to an intention of a user as indicated by the user interaction with the display component of the graphical user interface.
