Discovery of connected devices to determine control capabilities and meta-information

This invention describes a system where a central computing device, called a gateway, discovers other devices connected to its network. For each discovered device, the gateway figures out what it can do and how to control it, packaging this information into a "resource bundle." This bundle is then used to automatically create a custom control panel or interface for that specific device, allowing users to interact with it. The claims specifically focus on this functionality residing within a gateway device.

Why it matters: Filed before advanced AI models could dynamically generate interface code or interpret device capabilities to create resource bundles. These capabilities now simplify the core logic of adapting to diverse IoT devices.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
