1. A implement remote data acquisition and processing method, comprising the steps of:

  • (a) creating a data link between the system administrator and the central device through an appropriate communication media, wherein the data link creation follows the defined administrator-server communication mechanism;

    (b) creating a data link between individual devices (instruments and facilities) and the central device server, wherein the data link creation follows the defined device-server communication mechanism;

    (c) creating a data link between devices (instruments and facilities) via the central device server where information exchange is needed, wherein the data link creation follows the defined device-device communication mechanism;

    (d) receiving data by the central device server data from both communicating parties, and forwarding the output stream of one device (instrument and facility) to the input stream of the other, and vise versa;

    (e) being responsible by the central device server for the flow control of the communication system, including package buffering and management, package recognition and distribution, and communication status monitoring;

    (f) updating a specific functional module on a specific device (instrument and facility), the central device server connects to the manufacturer'"'"'s web site through an appropriate communication media, retrieves the specific package, and installs the package onto the target device (instrument and facility);

    (g) performing remote data acquisition and processing, a user creates a data link with the central device server through an appropriate communication media and requests data from a specific device (instrument and facility), wherein the central device server redirects the output stream of the device (instrument and facility) to the input stream of the user;

    (h) performing remote device control and configuration, a user creates a data link with the central device server through an appropriate communication media and requests data from a specific device (instrument and facility), wherein the central device server redirects the output stream of one device (instrument and facility) to the input stream of the user, and vise versa; and

    (i) converting onboard devices into nodes of information source on the Internet, wherein the central device is connected to the Internet through an appropriate communication media and assigned an IP address. Different devices (instruments and facilities) are bounded to different port numbers on the central device server, therefore, commercial application on the Internet can access the information provided by these devices (instruments and facilities) by sending a request to the central device server with the specific port numbers.
