Abstract
An infrastructure for encapsulating diverse consumer electronics and computer software functions into intelligent modules that can perform their function independently and can communicate with the host device and other modules. These modules are designed to be installed in multifunction devices that derive their capabilities solely from the function modules and the interconnections between them
