Method and system for tracking software components
First Claim
1. A method in a computer system for generating a user interface for controlling software components through a user control point device, each software component being identified within a space, the method comprising:
- identifying a space whose software components are to be controlled by the user control point device;
identifying a user interface component for each software component within the identified space;
outputting through the user control point device an indication of each software component within the identified space; and
in response to selection of a software component, passing control to the identified user interface component for that software component.

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.
