1. A method for data handling performed by computer instruction stored on a memory and executed by a computer, comprising:
- receiving, from a user via a user interface, selection of a functional element template, wherein said functional template possesses one or more attributes;
receiving, from the user via the user interface, indication regarding establishment of a functional element, wherein one or more of the attributes are selected by the user;
establishing the functional element, wherein the selected attributes are passed to said functional element from said functional element template;
providing to the user a user interface corresponding to the functional element, wherein the user interface corresponding to the functional element is employable by the user in control of a unit; and
employing the functional element in interoperation with the unit,wherein one or more interface software modules are employed in said interoperation, said interface modules accepting generic commands and outputting commands understood by said unit.

Abstract
Systems and methods whereby, for example, one or more functional elements can be established and/or employed. Such functional elements might serve a number of purposes. For instance, such functional elements might be employable in interoperating with devices, software, and/or the like, in working with entities, and/or the like. Such functional elements may, for example, be arrangeable in an associative and/or hierarchical manner.

16. A system for data handling, comprising:
-
a memory having program code stored therein; and a processor operatively connected to said memory for carrying out instructions in accordance with said stored program code; wherein said program code, when executed by said processor, causes said processor to perform; receiving, from a user via a user interface, selection of a functional element template, wherein said functional template possesses one or more attributes; receiving, from the user via the user interface, indication regarding establishment of a functional element, wherein one or more of the attributes are selected by the user; establishing the functional element, wherein the selected attributes are passed to said functional element from said functional element template; providing to the user a user interface corresponding to the functional element, wherein the user interface corresponding to the functional element is employable by the user in control of a unit; and employing the functional element in interoperation with the unit, wherein one or more interface software modules are employed in said interoperation, said interface modules accepting generic commands and outputting commands understood by said unit. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. An article of manufacture comprising a computer memory containing program code that when executed causes a device to perform:
receiving, from a user via a user interface, selection of a functional element template, wherein said functional template possesses one or more attributes;
receiving, from the user via the user interface, indication regarding establishment of a functional element, wherein one or more of the attributes are selected by the user;
establishing the functional element, wherein the selected attributes are passed to said functional element from said functional element template;
providing to the user a user interface corresponding to the functional element, wherein the user interface corresponding to the functional element is employable by the user in control of a unit; and
employing the functional element in interoperation with the unit, wherein one or more interface software modules are employed in said interoperation, said interface modules accepting generic commands and outputting commands understood by said unit.

32. A device, comprising:
-
a memory having program code stored therein; a processor operatively connected to the memory for carrying out instructions in accordance with the stored program code; and an input output interface operatively connected to the processor; wherein the program code, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform; receiving, from a user via a user interface, selection of a functional element template, wherein said functional template possesses one or more attributes; receiving, from the user via the user interface, indication regarding establishment of a functional element, wherein one or more of the attributes are selected by the user; establishing the functional element, wherein the selected attributes are passed to said functional element from said functional element template; providing to the user a user interface corresponding to the functional element, wherein the user interface corresponding to the functional element is employable by the user in control of a unit; and employing the functional element in interoperation with the unit, wherein one or more interface software modules are employed in said interoperation, said interface modules accepting generic commands and outputting commands understood by said unit.
