System and method for discovering and customizing resources in networks

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and a computer software product (101) for a computing device (102) adapted to communicate with at least one managed and/or unmanaged network, providing access to one or more shared-resources and/or shared-services of that network or networks by means of a virtual device comprising a collection of information about resources and/or services available on the network, a reservation mechanism, a retrieving of remote controls (109) for these resources and/or services, and customization and assembling of this remote controls (109) to build the virtual device. The present invention hereby proposes an advantageous system for an automatic and/or user controlled assembly of different shared-resources and/or shared-services offered in a changing network environment into a single device, which is then available on the computing device and to the network used.
