发明名称 Management of functionality in a consumer electronics system
摘要 A communication system comprises at least one controller station and at least one controlled station; the stations being interconnected via a communication network. Functionality of each controlled station is associated with a respective abstract representation, referred to as AR, enabling application(s) to control the functionality of the controlled station by means of messages transmitted via the communication network and acting on the AR. The controller station comprises control means for executing at least one AR associated with a respective controlled station. The communication system comprises means for storing for at least one of the controlled stations at least one associated preference indicator; the preference indicator enabling to determine by which one(s) of the control means the AR of the associated controlled station should preferably be executed. The communication system comprises AR distribution means for obtaining the preference indicator associated with a respective controlled station and, in dependence on the obtained preference indicator, determining which controller station should execute the AR of the respective controlled station and assigning the AR to the controller station. The controller station comprises AR allocation means for allocating an assigned AR to the control means of the controller station.
