1. A convergence and automation system, comprising:
- an Internet-protocol (IP) based network; and
hardware implemented with a web service for devices (WSD) protocol, said hardware comprising;
a plurality of devices connected to the network, each device being configured to perform at least one service; and
a server connected to the network and configured to control the plurality of devices to converge and automate the at least one service;
said hardware being configured to establish communication among the server and the plurality of devices and perform a logging function to record an event and an error occurring in the convergence and automation system,wherein said logging function comprises generating a message describing the event and error occurring in the convergence and automation system,wherein said message comprises;
a trace message describing the event; and
an error message describing the error,wherein said error message comprises;
a configuration error message comprising a record of an error related to a setting or a triggering of at least one of the plurality of devices;
a network error message comprising a record of an error related to a communicate failure between the hardware and the software;
a missing system file message comprising a record of an error related to a missing file; and
a scripting/scheduling error message comprising a record of an error related to a script or a scheduling of the script.

9. A computer readable storage medium having a stored computer program embodying instructions, which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a logging function to record an event and an error occurring in a convergence and automation system, said convergence and automation system comprising an Internet-protocol (IP) based network and hardware implemented with a web service for devices (WSD) protocol, the computer readable storage medium comprising:
-
instructions for establishing communication in the hardware based on the WSD protocol; and instructions for performing the logging function to record the event and the error, wherein said hardware comprises; a plurality of devices connected to the network, each of the plurality of devices being configured to perform at least one service; and a server connected to the network and configured to control the plurality of devices for converging and automating the at least one service, wherein said instructions for establishing communication in the hardware comprise instructions for establishing communication among the server and the plurality of devices, wherein said instructions for performing the logging function comprise instructions for generating a message describing the event and the error, wherein said message comprises a time stamp component, a message type component, a process component, and a description of event component, wherein said message comprises; a trace message describing the event; and an error message describing the error, wherein said error message comprises; a configuration error message recording an error related to a setting or a triggering of the plurality of devices; a network error message recording an error related to a communicate failure between the hardware and software; a missing system file message recording an error related to a missing file; and a scripting/scheduling error message recording an error related to a script or a scheduling of the script. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
