FIELD: radio engineering, communication.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to transmission of information between devices and specifically to extraction of information from stand-alone devices in web-space. Devices are provided with Internet access, thus making them web objects, capable of sending and receiving data through the Internet. A web object is assigned a static and dynamic serial number by the manufacturer which contains data pertaining to the web object/device. Also, the web object has the capability to report on its status, making such information available over the Internet. Thus, the device owner can monitor the device by accessing it through the Internet and a web page, and the manufacturer or other authorised user can also securely access the device/web object to monitor its status. The web object can thus report that maintenance is required, a service part should be ordered, and maintains this information within the dynamic portion of its serial number, which updates based on changes to its status.EFFECT: facilitating remote browsing of information on devices, collect statistical data, monitor devices and instruct them to execute defined tasks.30 cl, 2 dwg |
