METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MASTER-SLAVE CONTROL IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

A master-slave network control system (10) and method of operation wherein the master node (12) element has substantially absolute invasive control over functions and capabilities of slave node (14) elements which are logged onto the network and wherein the master node element can exercise latent control over slave node elements when not logged onto the network by controlling reacceptance onto the network in order to promote selected pedagogical and like functions facilitated through networked communication between the master node elements and the slave node elements.
