International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709224, 709220, 709218, 709203, 714 2, 700 17, 700 18

Abstract:

A system for controlling a remotely controlled apparatus includes executing, by a remotely controlled apparatus, a program for controlling actions of the remotely controlled apparatus. The system includes a first network connection between the remotely controlled apparatus and a network hub device configured to extend the range of a computer network may be established. The system also includes second network connection between the network hub device and an endpoint device executing an application for controlling the remotely controlled apparatus may be established. An endpoint device may send data over the first and second network connections for controlling the remotely controlled apparatus. An application executing within a web browser may process the data. A method for controlling a remotely controlled apparatus is also provided.

Assignee:

Brass Monkey, Inc. - Jamaica Plain MA

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709227, 709205

Abstract:

A system and method for connected devices over a network includes: receiving, by an address registration server, a communication from a host device and a communication from an endpoint device; determining whether the host device and the endpoint device are connected to a single local network and whether the host device and the endpoint device are each executing a compatible application; and facilitating a network connection between the endpoint device and the host device over the local network by providing a private network address of the endpoint device to the host device.

US Classification:

709227, 709224, 709226

Abstract:

A method for controlling content on a display device includes executing, by a host device coupled to a display, a browser application within a web browser for presenting content on the display device. A communication channel is established over a computer network between an application running on an endpoint device and the browser application. Data is sent content over the communication channel, between the endpoint device and the browser application, for controlling what is shown on the display. A system for controlling content on a display is also disclosed.

US Classification:

709227, 709224, 709226

Abstract:

A method for two way communication and control of a game may include executing, by a host device in communication with a computer network, a game application within a web browser. A communication channel is established over the computer network and between the game application and a controller application running on an endpoint device. Data is sent over the communication channel for controlling and playing the game application within the game application. A system for two way communication and control of a game is also provided.
