Abstract

A computerized method for controlling or connecting a plurality of computer appliances in a networked control system comprised of control center, computer appliance and peripherals for the purposes of establishing an automated framework and technical devices for intelligent integration of two or more applications, logic rules, data repositories and/or services together to automate, manage, synchronize or monitor knowledge or business solutions in real-time. The control center, computer appliances or peripherals can store and process structured or unstructured data; the control center is communicating with each appliance or periphery across a communication network; the control center can determine when an appliances or peripheral requires maintenance or update; the control center controls the current inventory of computer appliances and peripherals; the control center can add or reinitialize a new computer appliance or peripheral; the computer appliance can also add peripherals. A user can interact with the control center, computer appliance or a peripheral to perform monitoring, management or analysis functions.

Claims

1. A method for controlling or connecting a plurality of computer appliances in a networked control system, said method comprising the steps of:

i. providing a plurality of computer appliances comprising of processing steps for establishing an automated framework and technical devices for intelligent integration of two or more applications, logic rules, data repositories and/or services together to automate, manage, synchronize or monitor knowledge or business solutions in real-time;

ii. comprising of plurality of computer appliances for the said plurality of computer appliances;

iii. comprising of peripherals for computer appliances;

iv. the availability of said computer appliances or said peripherals capable of storing and/or processing structured or unstructured data;

v. providing a control center communicating with each appliance of said plurality computer appliances across a communication network;

vi. the control center determining when at least one of said plurality of computer appliances or peripheral will require maintenance or update;

vii. the control center determining the current inventory of plurality of computer appliances or peripherals for each controlled plurality of computer appliances

viii. the control center adding or reinitializing a new computer appliance;

ix. the control center adding or reinitializing a new peripheral;

x. the said computer appliance adding a peripheral;

2. The method of claim 1, where the said computer appliance is one of data processing system, data storage, data logic, data presentation, identity data, signaling, storage;

3. The method of claim 1, where the said structured or unstructured data is described with an ontology or other semantic methods;

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of signaling an operator to the status of the control center or a computer appliance or peripheral, and the said signaling is one of monitor visible to the operator, information feed, alert, action trigger, message, report, analysis, dashboard.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the said peripherals are composed of active and passive peripherals;

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the control center is further comprising of the following processing layers:

web interface, application, business logic, channel repository, database, operating system, hardware;

7. The method of claim 1 where the said control center registering the said computer appliances and peripherals or the said computer appliance registers peripherals for the purposes of one or more of management, control, remote administration, re-registering, re-provisioning, updating software, ensuring updates/security fixes/configuration files are applied, monitors operation and performance;

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the said data originates from different sources and the said appliance is capable of (1) standardizing it and (2) relaying to the control center or other appliances;

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the said peripheral is comprised of steps for connecting to the said appliance directly or over a computer network;

10. A method for controlling a plurality of computer appliances in a networked control system, said method comprising the steps of:

i. providing clearinghouse processing (e.g. identity data);

ii. providing a plurality of computer appliances comprising of processing steps for establishing an automated framework and technical devices for intelligent integration of two or more applications, logic rules, data repositories and/or services together to automate, manage, synchronize or monitor knowledge or business solutions in real-time;

iii. comprising of plurality of computer appliances for the said plurality of computer appliances;

iv. comprising of peripherals for computer appliances;

v. the availability of said computer appliances or said peripherals capable of storing and/or processing structured or unstructured data;

vi. providing a control center communicating with each appliance of said plurality computer appliances across a communication network;

vii. the control center determining when at least one of said plurality of computer appliances or peripheral will require maintenance or update;

viii. the control center determining the current inventory of plurality of computer appliances or peripherals for each controlled plurality of computer appliances

ix. the control center adding or reinitializing a new computer appliance;

x. the control center adding or reinitializing a new peripheral;

xi. the said computer appliance adding a peripheral;

11. The method of claim 10 wherein the said clearinghouse is comprising of steps for handling one or more of knowledge, information or identity data;

12. The method for claim 10 wherein the said identity data is comprised of one of operator (who), location (where, from where), privileges (what) for the purposes of one of managing operator(s), authentication, authorization, privileges within a system;

13. The method for claim 10 wherein the said identity data is one or more of:

Active Directory, Service Providers, Identity Providers, Web Services, Access control, Digital Identities, Password Managers, Single Sign-on, Security Tokens, Security Token Services (STS), Workflows, OpeniD, WS-Security, WS-Trust, SAML 2.0, OAuth and RBAC;

14. The method for claim 10 wherein the said identity data is biometrics in nature and is one or more of fingerprint, palm veins, face recognition, DNA, palm print, hand geometry, iris recognition, retina and odor/scent, behavioral characteristics, typing rhythm, gait, and voice;

15. The method of claim 10, wherein the said clearinghouse is comprised of steps to determine authenticity, credibility or eligibility of an asset;

16. The method of claim 10 further comprising the step of signaling an operator to the status of the control center or a computer appliance or peripheral, and the said signaling is one of monitor visible to the operator, information feed, alert, action trigger, message, report, analysis, dashboard.

17. The method of claim 10, wherein the control center is further comprising of the following processing layers:

web interface, application, business logic, channel repository, database, operating system, hardware;

18. The method of claim 10 where the said control center the said computer appliances and peripherals or the said computer appliance registers peripherals for the purposes of one or more of management, control, remote administration, re-registering, re-provisioning, updating software, ensuring updates/security fixes/configuration files are applied, monitors operation and performance;

19. The method of claim 10, wherein the said data originates from different sources and the said appliance is capable of (1) standardizing it and (2) relaying to the control center or, other appliances;

20. The method of claim 10 wherein the said peripheral is comprised of steps for connecting to the said appliance directly or over a computer network;
