Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING A HOME AREA NETWORK MIDDLEWARE INTERFACE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/038135
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for implementing a protocol-neutral middleware interface in a home area network. The method comprises receiving one or more data packets from a client device using a first communication protocol, and decoding the data packets into a set of platform independent data objects. The data packets are decoded into the platform independent data objects by utilizing a metadata mapping located within one or more field classes. The apparatus comprises a frame engine, and one or more field classes. The frame engine receives a data packet in a first communication protocol. The frame engine decodes the data packet into a set of platform independent data objects. The frame engine uses a metadata map contained within the one or more field classes to decode the data packet into the set of platform independent data objects.
