Dynamic object management protocol
First Claim
1. A multiple element computing architecture configured to operate using a communications protocol enabling dynamic management of objects between a requesting element and a responding element in the multiple element computing architecture, the protocol enabling transmission of a message consisting essentially of:
- a destination;
a source;
a message type;
a data partition arrangement, comprising a fixed number of payloads, the fixed number based on the message type; and
a delimiter arrangement provided within the message, the delimiter arrangement separating data partitions in the data partition arrangement wherein multiple levels of data partitions are available and higher levels of data partitions are delimited based on a stacked arrangement wherein an Nth level data partition is delimited by N section delimiters positioned at the end of the Nth level data partition;
wherein the communications protocol enables one element to prepare requesting messages with one destination, one source, one message type and optional associated payload, the one element is configured to receive the requesting message and process the message, and the multiple element computing architecture comprises at least one hardware element;
wherein the requesting element may be configured to form sequences of actions based on resources presented according to the protocol from the responding element, pack the actions into messages, and transmit the messages to the responding element, wherein the sequences of actions vary in size and actions are packed into messages employing variable numbers of data partitions.

Abstract
An extensible communications protocol configured to enable dynamic discovery and management of self-aware devices in a multiple element computing architecture is provided. The protocol enables a message consisting essentially of a destination ID, a source ID, a message type, optional payloads, and a delimiter arrangement. The protocol is based on a scheme which represents structured data. Within the scheme, stacked delimiting characters are used to separate higher level data. Escape sequencers are selected to represent at least the escape character, the delimiting character, and the NULL (nothing at all).

11. An architecture comprising a requester element and a responder element configured to facilitate transmission of information between the requester element and the responder element according to a message format configured to represent structured data, the message format comprising:
-
at least one message entry comprising at least one message section comprising an entry delimiter placed after a last section of each message, the message section conforming to a protocol consisting essentially of a destination, a source, a message type, and a data partition arrangement comprising an optional fixed number of payloads, the fixed number based on message type, and a delimiter arrangement, the delimiter arrangement separating data partitions in the data partition arrangement, wherein multiple levels of data partitions are available and higher levels of data partitions are delimited based on a stacked arrangement wherein an Nth level data partition is delimited by N section delimiters positioned at the end of the Nth level data partition; and at least one message record comprising at least one message entry comprising a record delimiter placed after a last entry of the message record; wherein the requesting element may be configured to form sequences of actions based on resources presented according to the protocol from the responding element, pack the actions into messages, and transmit the messages to the responding element, wherein the sequences of actions vary in size and actions are packed into messages employing variable numbers of data partitions and the architecture comprises at least one hardware element. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A dynamic object management system comprising:
-
a server device configured to receive data from a transmitting device in a message according to a protocol, the protocol consisting essentially of; a destination; a source; a message type; an arrangement of data partitions, comprising at least one command and an associated payload, the associated payload based on message type; and a delimiter arrangement provided within the message, the delimiter arrangement separating data partitions in the arrangement of data partitions wherein multiple levels of data partitions are available and higher levels of data partitions are delimited based on a stacked arrangement wherein an Nth level data partition is delimited by N section delimiters positioned at the end of the Nth level data partition; wherein the transmitting device may be configured to form sequences of actions based on resources presented according to the protocol from the server device, pack the actions into messages, and transmit the messages to the server device, wherein the sequences of actions vary in size and actions are packed into messages employing variable numbers of data partitions. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
