1. A method for interacting with a remote device comprising:
- obtaining a request corresponding to controlling one or more identifiable remote devices;
generating a graphical user interface operable to control the remote device, wherein controlling said device includes accessing said remote device and issuing instructions;
obtaining user control instructions from said graphical user interface;
transmitting remote device control data corresponding to said user control instructions; and
obtaining remote device data generated by said remote device.

Abstract
A graphical user interface is used for the dynamic management of remote devices. In a Web-based computing environment, browsers are used to remotely access data from devices attached to computer systems. Through the graphical interface displayed on a monitor, the user interacts dynamically with the remote device. That is, the actions of the user within the means of the graphical user interface effect actions, changes, and updates in the remote hardware as if it were a local resource.

29. A method for dynamically generating a user interface for controlling at least one remote device comprising:
-
obtaining a request to control at least one pre-selected remote device;
selecting a program module corresponding to said pre-selected remote device from a plurality of program modules, said program module operable to control said remote device;
transmitting a screen interface with said program module;
wherein said screen interface containing said program module is operable to generate a graphical user interface when loaded within a browser application. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36)
