Discovering device drivers within a domain of a premises

摘要

A system for integrating a networked device into a domain is described and includes: a network operation control coupled with a local server and including a device class determiner for establishing a device class for at least one device residing in a domain at a premises, wherein based on the establishing the device class, an action is enabled to be mapped to the device, thereby enabling an application to run on and utilize a capability of said device; and a domain manager coupled with a remote server and the network operation control, the domain manager including, coupled with the remote server: an action identifier; a device driver determiner; a comparer; and a device driver implementer for, based on comparing by the comparer, implementing a device driver associated with the device when a first protocol corresponds to a second protocol such that the action is enabled for performance.
