Method and system for generating a user interface for distributed devices
First Claim
1. A user interface system, comprising:
- at least one space object including a list of spatial services corresponding to the space represented by the at least one space object;
at least one spatial service object representing at least one behavior associated with the space represented by the at least one space object; and
a user control point (UCP) object including a space resource user control (RUC) object for the space having at least one spatial service resource user control (RUC) object, wherein the UCP object refers to a space object of said at least one space object and instantiates a spatial service RUC object for each of said at least one spatial service object, and wherein each spatial service RUC object refers to a corresponding at least one spatial service object, and wherein at least said space object or one of the spatial service objects receives an indication of the type of the UCP device.

Abstract
A method and system for generating a user interface for controlling software components through a user control point device. The user interface system provides multiple software components that each can provide a user interface component. Each user interface component provides a user interface for the corresponding software component. A user control point component requests each software component to provide its user interface component. The user control point component then displays an indication of each software component. In response to the selection of a software component, the user control point component requests the user interface component for that software component to display its user interface through the control point device. When a user interacts with that user interface, the user interface component notifies the corresponding software component of the interaction.
