Command interface to object-based architecture
First Claim
1. A method for interfacing a plurality of virtual device container modules to a third-party application, each of the virtual device container modules being in communication with a tracker module through a software bus, said method comprising the steps of:
- receiving an interface command at an interface module from the third-party application via a third-party connection, the interface command relating to a designated one of the plurality of virtual device container modules;
establishing a direct connection between the interface module and the designated virtual device container module by using an address pointer;
receiving information data, at the interface module, from the designated virtual device container module via the direct connection, the information data relating to the designated virtual device container module; and
sending the information data from the interface module to the third-party application via the third-party connection.

Abstract
Interfacing a plurality of virtual device container modules to a third-party application, each of the virtual device container modules being in communication with a tracker module through a software bus, including receiving an interface command at the interface module from the third-party application via a third-party connection, the interface command relating to a designated one of the plurality of virtual device container modules, establishing a direct connection between the interface module and the designated virtual device container module by using an address pointer, receiving information data, at the interface module, from the designated virtual device container module via the direct connection, the information data relating to the designated virtual device container module, and sending the information data from the interface module to the third-party application via the third-party connection.

77. A method for interfacing a plurality of virtual device container modules to a third-party application, each of the virtual device container modules being in communication with a tracker module through a software bus, said method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving an interface command at an interface module from the third-party application via a third-party connection, the interface command relating to a designated one of the plurality of virtual device container modules;
sending an address request from the interface module to the tracker module via an intermediate connection, the address request relating to the designated virtual device container module;
receiving, at the interface module, an address pointer from the tracker module via the intermediate connection, the address pointer relating to the designated virtual device container module;
establishing a direct connection between the interface module and the designated virtual device container module by using the address pointer;
sending an information request from the interface module to the designated virtual device container module via the direct connection;
receiving information data, at the interface module, from the designated virtual device container module via the direct connection, the information data relating to the designated virtual device container module; and
sending the information data from the interface module to the third-party application via the third-party connection.
