CLOUD-ASSISTED NETWORK DEVICE INTEGRATION
First Claim
1. A system for integrating a networked device into a domain, said system comprising:
- a network operations control coupled with a local server, said network operations control comprising;
a device class determiner coupled with said local server, said device class determiner configured for establishing a device class for at least one device residing in a domain at a premises, wherein said domain is coupled with a remote server, and a device of said at least one device comprises a communication port that supports a first protocol corresponding to a second protocol, wherein said second protocol is supported by a device driver coupled with said domain,wherein based on said establishing said device class, an action is enabled to be mapped to said device, thereby enabling an application to run on and utilize a capability of said device; and
a domain manager coupled with a remote server and said network operations control, said domain manager comprising;
an action identifier coupled with said remote server, said action identifier configured for identifying an action to be mapped to said at least one device;
a device driver determiner coupled with said action identifier, said device driver determiner configured for determining a device driver that supports a second protocol, wherein said device driver is coupled with said domain and said second protocol supports said action;
a comparer configured for comparing said second protocol with a domain configuration store comprising device configuration information for said at least one device; and
a device driver implementer configured for, based on said comparing, implementing said device driver when said first protocol corresponds to said second protocol such that said action is enabled for performance.

Abstract
A system for integrating a networked device into a domain is described and includes: a network operation control coupled with a local server and including a device class determiner for establishing a device class for at least one device residing in a domain at a premises, wherein based on the establishing the device class, an action is enabled to be mapped to the device, thereby enabling an application to run on and utilize a capability of said device; and a domain manager coupled with a remote server and the network operation control, the domain manager including, coupled with the remote server: an action identifier; a device driver determiner; a comparer; and a device driver implementer for, based on comparing by the comparer, implementing a device driver associated with the device when a first protocol corresponds to a second protocol such that the action is enabled for performance.

12. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause said computer to perform a method for integrating a networked device into a domain, said method comprising:
-
establishing, at a local server, a device class for at least one device residing in a domain of a premises, wherein said domain is coupled with a remote server and said at least one device comprises a communication port that supports a first protocol; identifying an action to be mapped to said device; determining a device driver that supports a second protocol, said device driver being coupled with said domain, said second protocol supporting said action; comparing said second protocol with a domain configuration store comprising device configuration information for said at least one device, wherein said domain configuration store is coupled with a first database, said first database being coupled with said remote server; based on said comparing, implementing said device driver when said first protocol corresponds to said second protocol such that said action is enabled for performance; automatically establishing a device class for said at least one device; and based on said establishing of said device class, enabling a mapping of at least one action to said device, thereby enabling an application to run on and utilize a capability of said device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
