System and method for servicing messages between device controller nodes and via a lon network
First Claim
1. A system for servicing messages between device controller nodes and control applications via a Lon Network, wherein the controller nodes includes a plurality of network variables for defining parameters of the Lon Network, comprising:
- a server for servicing said messages from at least one device control application;
a proprietary communication value for indicating a network variable value from the control applications; and
, a Lon value for indicating a network variable value as exposed on the Lon Network.

Abstract
The present invention includes a system (FIG. 4) for servicing messages between device controller nodes and control applications via a Lon Network, wherein the device controller nodes includes a plurality of network variables for defining parameters of the Lon Network. The system includes a server for servicing the messages from at least one control application, a proprietary communication value for indicating a network variable value from the control applications, and a Lon value for indicating a network variable value exposed on the Lon Network.
There is also a method that includes the steps of reading a message from the control application, verifying whether the message is valid, determining the requested function for a specified network variable from the message when the message is valid, executing the requested function for the specified network variable, and sending subscribed reports in response to a change of value of the network variables independently of the foregoing steps (170).

9. A method for servicing messages between device controller nodes and control applications implemented on a Lon Network having a proprietary communication value for indicating a network variable value from the control application and a Lon value for indicating a value on the Lon Network, said method comprising the steps of:
-
reading a message from at least one control application;
verifying whether the message is valid;
determining the requested function for a specified network variable from the message when the message is valid;
executing the requested function for the specified network variable; and
,sending subscribed reports in response to a change of value of the network variables independently of the foregoing steps. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. A computer program product comprising a computer readable code stored on a computer readable medium that, when executed, causes a computer to:
-
read a message from at least one control application;
verify whether the message is valid;
determine the requested function for a specified network variable from the message when the message is valid;
execute the requested function for the specified network variable; and
,send subscribed reports in response to a change of value of the network variables independently of the foregoing steps.
