Product description
B.K.S. Iyengar, hailed as "the Michelangelo of yoga" (BBC) and considered by many to be the most important living yoga master, has spent much of his life introducing the modern world to the ancient practice of yoga. Yoga's popularity is soaring, but its widespread acceptance as an exercise for physical fitness and the recognition of its health benefits have not been matched by an understanding of the emotional, intellectual, and spiritual development that the yogic tradition can also offer. In Light on Life, B.K.S. Iyengar explains this new and more complete understanding of the yogic journey. Here Iyengar explores the yogic goal to integrate the different parts of the self (body, emotions, mind and soul); the role that the yoga postures and breathing techniques play in our search for wholeness; the external and internal obstacles that keep us from progressing along the path; and how yoga can transform our lives and help us to live in harmony with the world around us. For the first time, Iyengar uses stories from his own life, humor, and examples from modern culture to illustrate the profound gifts that yoga offers. Written with the depth of this sage's great wisdom, Light on Life is the culmination of a master's spiritual genius, a treasured companion to his seminal Light on Yoga.

BP, four years later
Posted: April 22, 2014 at 4:29 a.m.
Four years after the largest offshore oil disaster in U.S. history, scientists are still trying to come to terms with the toll that the Deepwater Horizon tragedy wreaked on the birds, sea life, waters and habitats of the Gulf of Mexico. Multitudes of creatures and habitats were wiped out—and continue to suffer—but outrageously, environmental restoration has barely even begun.

text: Labyrinthitis is an inflammation of the inner ear that typically results in severe vertigo lasting for one or more days. Its cause is rarely identified, but it is thought most commonly to derive from a viral inflammation of the vestibular labyrinth (the part of the inner ear responsible for balance). Patients usually present with the sudden onset of severe whirling vertigo, nausea, and vomiting. The symptoms can be so severe and disabling that patients frequently go to the emergency room for care and require vestibular suppressants such as Valium or Meclizine in order to tolerate the vertigo. Symptoms typically subside over a few days, but may leave the patient with vague imbalance which slowly improves over weeks to months. Hearing loss rarely accompanies the vertigo in labyrinthitis. Occasionally a bacterial infection of the middle ear can spread to the inner ear and cause this disease. In this situation antibiotic treatment may be helpful.

PHOENIX -- A Glendale man is in custody accused of sexually assaulting two women he met on the Internet.
Maricopa County prosecutors said 40-year-old Ryan Robert Raths had his initial court appearance Tuesday and was being held without bond.
He's facing four counts of felony sexual assault.
Court documents listed Raths as an employee of the Washington Elementary School district.
Glendale police said Raths is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in September 2004 in an apartment where she went to meet him.
He's also accused of assaulting a 29-year-old woman at his apartment in October 2007.
Raths has a status conference in his case Friday and a preliminary hearing on Dec. 2.

Kevin Jepsen got Alex Rodriguez to pop out with the bases loaded in the ninth inning and the Los Angeles Angels took advantage of New York's baserunning follies to beat the Yankees 10-8 Sunday. With seemingly no lead safe recently at Yankee Stadium, Mark Teixeira hit a two-run homer in the ninth off Ernesto Frieri to make it 10-7, the first runs off the closer since he joined the Angels on May 3 - a span of 26 1/3 innings. After a walk to Nick Swisher, Scott Downs relieved with a 1-0 count to Raul Ibanez. Ibanez knocked the glove off Downs and reached for an infield single. Andruw Jones struck out, Russell Martin had a fielder's choice and Derek Jeter walked to load the bases. Downs then walked Curtis Granderson to make it 10-8 before Jepsen came on and retired Rodriguez for his first save since 2009, helping the Angels avoid their first three-game sweep in New York since 1995. Albert Pujols and Erick Aybar hit consecutive home runs off Ivan Nova in the first inning for Los Ange...

St Martin-in-the-Fields is an Anglican church at the northeast corner of Trafalgar Square in the City of Westminster, London. Its patron is Saint Martin of Tours.
Excavations at the site in 2006 led to the discovery of a grave dated about 410. The site is outside the city limits of Roman London (as was the usual Roman practice for burials), but is particularly interesting for being so far outside, and this is leading to a reappraisal of Westminster's importance at that time. The burial is thought by some to mark a Christian centre of that time (possibly reusing the site or building of a pagan temple).
The church was rebuilt by Henry VIII in 1542 to avoid plague victims from the area having to pass through his Palace of Whitehall. At this time, it was literally "in the fields" in an isolated position between the cities of Westminster and London.
A number of notables were buried in this phase of the church, including Robert Boyle and Nell Gwynne.
The church survived the Great Fire of London which did not reach as far as the City of Westminster, but was replaced with a new building, designed by James Gibbs in 1721 and completed five years later. The design was criticised widely at the time but subsequently became extremely famous, being copied particularly widely in the United States. The church is essentially rectangular, with a great pediment in the Classical style supported by a row of huge Corinthian columns. The high steeple is topped with a gilt crown. Gibbs was certainly inspired by Sir Christopher Wren as the interior is very similar to St James's in Piccadilly.
Various 18th century notables were soon buried in the new church, including the émigré sculptor Roubiliac (who had settled in this area of London) and the furniture-maker Thomas Chippendale (whose workshop was in the same street as the church, St Martin's Lane), along with Jack Sheppard in the now-lost adjoining churchyard.
The church has a close relationship with the Royal Family and with the Admiralty
Because of its prominent position, St Martin-in-the-Fields is one of the most famous non-cathedral churches in London. Its ethos as the "Church of the Ever Open Door" (a title coined by Dick Sheppard, Vicar in the early 20th Century when the work with homeless people was started) continues today, even though it is not possible for it literally to be the case. It is famous for its work with homeless people through The Connection at St Martin's as well as its regular lunchtime and evening concerts. Many ensembles perform at the church, including the Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields which was co-founded by Sir Neville Marriner and John Churchill, the then Master of Music at St Martin's. There is a popular Café in the Crypt, where jazz concerts are held. All profits from this go to the work of the church. The crypt is also home to the London Brass Rubbing Centre, an art gallery and a book and gift shop.
In January 2006 work began on a £36 million renewal project. The project includes cleaning and renewing the church itself as well as provision of facilities for visitors, music, parish and social care, which encompass not only the church's crypt but also a row of buildings to the north and some significant new underground spaces in between. The funding includes a grant of £15.35 million from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The church and crypt are now reopen and all the work is scheduled to be complete in early summer 2008. As part of the public fundraising, it is possible to sponsor a pane of glass and 'Give light to St Martin's'.
Twelve historic bells from St Martin-in-the-Fields make part of the Swan Bells monument in Perth, Western Australia.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By John Reynolds, campaignlive.co.uk, Tuesday, 08 November 2011 10:44AM
The TV ad by AMV BBDO airs this week for four weeks as part of a £2m investment in the Squeeze & Stir brand.
The spot features people enjoying hot mugs of soup. Instead of sipping from regular mugs, they each hold steaming vegetables with handles.
The ad will run during 'The X Factor', 'Loose Women', 'Big Brother' and 'Come Dine with Me' among other shows.
Squeeze & Stir launched in July. Heinz claims it sold 2.1 million units, worth £1.3m, in value sales in its first 13 weeks on the market.
The soup is made from a low-fat concentrated puree, which is squeezed into a cup of boiling water and stirred.

Originally written on NBC San Diego | Last updated 1/17/12
A Chargers player got quite a reaction on Twitter last night when he sent out a tweet while watching the Lakers game. "Downtown LA looking nice. Wait till that football stadium gets built. #LosAngelesChargers." The feedback to rookie Chargers cornerback, Shareece Wright, was swift and harsh. Wright's next tweet wasn't exactly an apology. "People are juiced in twitter right now, chill out people. It's only twitter." And another… "Don't be mad at me it's not my fault there's a chance the chargers can move to LA. Who's fault is it?" He then went on to explain his feelings. "No more blackout games and San Diego will stay in San Diego. #howifeel." There were several more tweets after that, including this one: "I guess it's safe to say that people care. #boltup" And finally, he called it a night. "Good night peeps My twitter time has expired for the day. God Bless." Wright's hometown is Colton, Calif. He was selected by the Chargers in the third round of the 2011 NFL Draft. He went ...

text: T-Mobile's myTouch 4G Falls Victim To Permanent Root Alex Smith 9 November, 2010 26 Comments In just hours after the fall of the T-Mobile G2, the myTouch 4G is getting in on the perm root action and instructions for achieving this and freeing your device of the T-Mobile bloatware for good can be found below. While this method jut looks like a rehashed version of unforgiven512's G2 perm root method, as you can read in the original post it does in fact work. Check it out below. First of all, unforgiven512 deserves most of the credit for this tutorial as all I did was rewrite this tutorial in my own words (while looking at his in another window), edit the kernel module, and paste links to it and the hboot file with this tutorial. Also, thanks to adwinp for the instructions on hexeditting the kernel module to make it work with our devices. This was a collaborative #g2root effort, primarily involving scotty2, tmzt, IntuitiveNipple but also many others! Ok, so the usual disclaimers go here: I am not responsible for your bricked phone or the ignorance that may or may not have caused it based on the fact the you CHOSE to follow these steps. Read through the forums and LEARN before you attempt to flash any device. You have been warned. Now that that is out of the way here we go: First make sure you have visionary installed and download these two files: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A03YMPQK http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NN5726Z8 Fire up your device and run visionary. adb push the two files you downloaded to /data/local on the device: adb push wpx.ko /data/local and adb push hboot_dhd.nb0 /data/local Open up a terminal on the phone or thru adb shell and gain root (su + enter). Type: insmod /data/local/wpx.ko and press enter. You should get an error stating "function not implemented" this is what you want Then type: dd if=/data/local/hboot_dhd.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 and hit enter. This command can turn your phone into a very expensive paper weight. Pay attention to what you are typing. If you are on terminal on the device close it out. If you are on adb shell disregard. Run VISIONary again to lock in root. Fire your terminal back up and type sync and hit enter. Wait a couple of minutes and reboot. If you want to go into hboot and look it should say s=off! Anyone willing to venture out and try this method on your recently purchased myTouch 4G? Via: XDA Anonymous I will as soon as i get home. I have to swing by T-Mobile and replace my MT4G because there's a hardware issue preventing wifi calling, but i'm rooting the new one immediately. Eleeo037 dd if=/data/local/hboot_dhd.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 is this all one command? http://www.androidspin.com Simon N. Walker YES http://www.androidspin.com Simon N. Walker YES http://twitter.com/absoluthamm absoluthamm I'll root it when there are some ROMS to flash onto it. No extreme need for me right now to root it until then. The other niceties of root can wait D MaK I did it an hour ago and it works flawlessly! Feels good to uninstall visionary. Eleee yes it is all one command. Happy rooting everyone D MaK I did it an hour ago and it works flawlessly! Feels good to uninstall visionary. Eleee yes it is all one command. Happy rooting everyone http://androidspin.com/ Stormy Beach Ok, so now it looks like I might just want one of the device after all. I refused to buy until Root was done. Now I just need to wait and wee how it goes with ROMs. Bring it on guy!! SuperFunkyFr3$h Hmm… now I gotta choose between a MT4G, G2 or Vibrant as they all are fully rooted now. Joelee90706 i am scare to death.. i will wait for anther method to root Sergispro took 2 mins to do this meathod if u use the root explore app from the market to copy and paste the 2 files to the data/local folder and use that command 😀 happy rooting Peter896 what does it mean to "adb push" the file? please help this lingo! Leonardshapiro505 peter896, if you have to ask. then you shouldn't running thees commands. Peter896 i realize that i am not as smart as you are. when in doubt, you ask. Sparxva If he is smart enough to ask then he is smart enough to follow instructions. Don't be a troll. Peter896 There is a guy on youtube, with this link [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFRWNoRiqlA[/url], can help you root your mytouch 4g without using the adb push command. I was able to follow his video instruction to the letter and permernantly rooted my mytouch 4g phone. Give him a peak if you want to root your phone permernantly. Itlnstaln II'm new to these android what is rooting Hfhfhhf what is perm root???? just asking?

Merry Christmas, everyone!
Christmas is a time of joy and especially miracles. And I have one here.
It's called Kings & Heroes: Legacy.
K&H: Legacy is a short game, which events happen a few days before the start of Kings & Heroes. It tells the tale of Francis, Diane and Jon, three adventurers who are on a simple mission to investigate about reports of imps attacking an outpost on Frostborn Mountain. What happens there, will start off a chain of events what could lead to a war beyond imagination.
As a player's perspective, this is just a simple 10 minute game. But, it is a small Christmas gift I made in 2 days just for you. And, it has some pretty funny dialogue.
And for people who already have RPG Maker RTP on their computer:

Thirty, flirty, and thriving!
Must be tall - At least taller than me!! I've been told that I'm an electrifying, oddly, eccentric genius. My favorite compliment ever is that I have a "James Bond girl" name and the look to go with it. Not sure the name part is actually a compliment, but whatever... it made me laugh:) I'm definitely not your average 31 y/o single white female.. which could also be why I'm here. I'm a smarty pants. A sweetheart of a smarty pants who was born and raised in the high mountain desert of Colorado, studied abroad for a year in Sweden, moved to Florida to chase the sun and pursue college, then packed up my truck and pup to road-trip across the country solo to the PNW 5 years ago. I embrace change, adventure and spontaneity, but am also very stable and OK with a weekly routine - just as long as I have something to look forward to! I have strong relationships with my family and friends and will always continue to nurture those. I'm a people person and outgoing, but can be a little introverted at times. I take my work serious, but don't let it rule my life. I'm a woman with conservative values, but have liberal viewpoints. And if I'm completely honest, I can be mildly ridiculous, overly snarky, and really stubborn at times... for the most part though, I'd consider myself well-rounded, grounded and genuine. I try not to take myself too seriously either, so yeah, I can be a big goof. Anyways, it would be great to meet someone who's honest, active, funny, positive, loves life, knows what they want and can openly communicate and share their desires. I'm keeping an open mind and open heart and if walking away meeting some cool people is all that comes of this I'm completely happy with that too.

Life is a Song worth Singing!
I am a down-to-earth, hard-working lady looking for the right relationship. I am not the biggest fan of these websites, but I figured I'd give it a shot. What have I got to lose right? Like most people, I think I have a fairly good sense humor (really dry and witty, a bit sarcastic) and to not take all things too seriously. In my social life, I like to live my life in a simple and enjoyable way and tend to do things as I feel, and am likely not to plan things to the last detail. I'd prefer to get an idea of what I want to do and see where the rest of the day takes me. My family is extremely important to me and I value my friendships. I am both a "girly girl" and a "tomboy" meaning that I enjoy putting on make-up, wearing heels and doing my hair but I am just as at ease in jeans, T, a bun and no make-up. What I am looking for is a man (do I need to say single?) who is hard-working, has a good values, sense of humor, knows what he wants in life and has it or is on his way to achieving it. A man, who doesn't play games, has a life of his own but wants someone to be a part of it. A man who is comfortable with who he is and is looking for a real relationship.

COPENHAGEN RESTAURANT NOMA has once again been named the "world's best restaurant" by Restaurant magazine.
The kitchen, run by executive chef René Redzepi, serves a reinvented version of Nordic cuisine with a focus on ingredients foraged from the nearby forests and shores.
The two-Michelin-starred restaurant regained the title after coming in second in last year's restaurant ranking.
Before that, it had held the crown for four years running.
One thing is for sure: a meal at Noma is completely out of the ordinary. Guests are treated to a parade of around 20 small plates, most of which bear little resemblance to recognizable food. The tasting menu costs $296 a head, and the wine pairing is an additional $185.
Jose Moran Moya, a foodie who takes gorgeous photos of his meals for his blog Spanish Hipster, was lucky enough to eat at Noma in 2012. He shared pictures of his Noma feast with us.

A well-heeled geek on the prowl
It's hard to be subtle when you're six feet tall and have hair the color of a traffic light, so I've never been one for subtlety. I'm looking for a tall drink of water who also isn't afraid to stick out and wants to spend our days being the giant couple blocking people's views at concerts, having our long legs hanging off the beds of the finest hotels, and instantly finding each other across a crowded room. I moved to LA about a year and a half ago from Austin, Texas (the only acceptable part of the state in my opinion.) I'm still getting used to LA and figuring out where in the hell anyone finds parking. I love the area's natural beauty, even if you have to spend 45 minutes in traffic to get to it, and there's still so much left to explore. I work as a digital strategist for global brands, and I love what I do. I'm a bit of a geek and always have been..my morning feels incomplete without NPR, I'll check in on Foursquare on our first date, and I was reading the Walking Dead graphic novels years before the show started. If you're looking for a pretty face that speaks fluent tech, I'm the girl of your dreams. For fun, I paint water colors, strum ukulele, and attend any number of ridiculous events from DJs and drinks at the Natural History Museum, to Magic Castle. I recently got SCUBA certified and just took my first diving trip to the Caribbean and would love to find someone interested in a Channel Islands or Catalina Island dive. If you enjoy drinking whiskey, dancing, playing bocce, exploring vintage LA, investigating tide pools, or taking road trips outside the city, we should definitely talk. I'm seemingly one of the last people without any tattoos. My parents are still married and I think that's something special. I'm pescetarian, which means I eat fish and no other meat, but I'm not preachy about it. I have two cats (the second one was an accident) that I consider my mascots. I'd love to find a shameless and fun partner who is sophisticated enough to come with me to an art show, but silly enough to handle a magic show. You are tall, you are not perfect but you're working on it, you're employed, unendingly ambitious, and you are funny. If you're tall, clever, handsome, and need a little red in your life, you should write post haste.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Connecticuts attorney general said he sympathizes with families affected by the deadly Newtown school shooting, but the state isnt liable for the harm inflicted.
Attorney General George Jepson responded Monday to a New Haven attorneys request to the state claims commissioner last week to sue the state for $100 million on behalf of a 6-year-old survivor.
Jepson said people affected deserve a thoughtful and deliberate examination of the tragedy and appropriate public policy responses. But he said the claims commissioners office isnt the appropriate venue.
Attorney Irving Pinksy said his request is about school safety. He said his client sustained emotional and psychological trauma and injury on Dec. 14 after a gunman forced his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School and killed 20 children and six adults and then killed himself.

This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/784,281, filed Mar. 20, 2006, incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to invocation of functionalities in devices in a network, and more particularly to automated execution of tasks in electronics devices in a network.
Electronic devices such a consumer electronics (CE) devices utilize a variety of approaches for invocation of their functionalities (e.g., UPnP, Jini). As new devices and technologies become available, new invocation mechanisms are required to operate these devices.
In existing approaches, the logic/code that performs device invocation is introduced during the design of a device or a design of the networked devices. New features such as support for invoking device functionalities are provided by introducing new code.
A shortcoming of such conventional approaches is that different devices provide different sets of application programming interfaces (APIs) for invocation of their functionalities. Even devices of the same class can differ in the way their functionalities are invoked.
Further, in network systems such as home-networking middleware systems, all of the different invocation mechanisms have to be incorporated during the design phase. As a result, the devices that the existing middleware systems can operate are fixed during the design phase, and are not easily expandable. As new devices and technologies become available, new interfaces are needed for invoking device functionalities. Conventionally, the middleware system has to be redesigned to invoke these new devices/technologies. Redesigning the existing middleware system requires writing new code. Further, the middleware system must be recompiled and reinstalled for the new code to take effect in the system. However, in CE devices (e.g., CD player, VCR, TV, DVD player, PVR, STB), unlike personal computers (PCs), installing new programs and updating existing programs is difficult due to scant support for such actions. Even if such support exists, it is not standardized for all CE devices.
Given the heterogeneity of CE devices, introducing a new invocation mechanism conventionally has been very difficult. There is, therefore, a need for a method and system that allows invocation of functionalities for new devices and technologies without requiring redesign or recoding of invocation mechanisms in electronic devices.
The present invention provides a method and system that enables automatic invocation of device functionalities on electronic devices such as CE devices. Device function invocation mechanisms are provided to support heterogeneous function invocations including new function invocations. The invocation mechanisms can be added without the need for recompilation of systems that invoke device functionalities, such as home-networking middleware systems. The present invention further enables the use of scripts that can coordinate the use of multiple devices in accomplishing tasks that require multiple devices.
These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become understood with reference to the following description, appended claims and accompanying figures.
The present invention provides a method and system that enable automatic invocation of device functionalities on CE devices. In one embodiment, scripting languages are utilized for adding invocation mechanisms to support heterogeneous function invocation including new function invocation. The invocation mechanism can be added without the need for recompilation of the systems that invoke the device functionality. The present invention also enables use of scripts for coordinating multiple devices in accomplishing a task.
Example implementations are described hereinbelow in the context of CE devices in a home network environment. However, as those skilled in the art will recognize the present invention is useful in other environments as well such as systems where new functionality is added while the system is running, critical systems that cannot be turned off/restarted, etc.
Home networking middleware systems function to invoke devices in the network using interfaces provided by the devices. Middleware systems aggregate various devices and aggregate the content in some devices for presentation to a user. The middleware systems allow the users to operate networked devices individually or in various combinations.
An essential part of a middleware system is the capability to invoke device functionalities. For example, if the user wishes to see the list of music files on a CD loaded in a networked CD player, the middleware system queries the CD player using an interface provided by the CD player. In another example, a request is made to a networked TV to switch from playing broadcast TV to playing a DVD.
In one implementation, device invocation by middleware includes two levels. One level comprises Device Invocation (DI) which involves executing a single device functionality. An example is querying to find the songs on a CD in a networked CD player. Another level comprises Device Orchestration (DO) which involves coordinating multiple device invocations (device combinations) to achieve a task. An example is using a DVD in a networked DVD player to play a movie on a networked TV, which requires first obtaining the appropriate video stream from the DVD player and then passing the stream to the TV for display.
In one embodiment, the present invention incorporates interpreted scripts, such as ECMA/JavaScript, as extensions for handling both DI and DO, as described below.
Device Invocation Extensions
Each type of device in the network 10 (e.g., devices 20, CE devices 30) provides a fixed set of functionalities. These functionalities can be invoked using an API each device provides. In one example, according to the present invention, in the network 10, each device 30 provides a script file 32 that includes a function (method) for each of the functionalities of that device 30. The script file 32 can also include additional methods that are for internal use or methods that encapsulate alternate mechanisms for invoking device functionalities.
A discovery process is performed by a discovery module 35 (
A device in the network 10 that performs the actual device function invocation is known as the controller and task execution environment (CTEE) 25, according to the present invention.
When a device (e.g., device 20, 30 in
When a new class of devices is introduced into the network, each device provides a script file including methods corresponding to the new functionality. To invoke a new functionality, the system executes the corresponding new method. The methods can internally use various technologies (like UPnP stack, SOAP stack, HTTP, various XML standards etc) for executing the device functionality, as long as the scripting environment supports it. In this manner, the system remains modular and can be easily extended.
Automatic Device Orchestration
Tasks performed by the user in the network 10 often involve collaboration between multiple devices 20, 30. Performing a task that involves multiple devices involves coordination among the devices and the corresponding processes. This is achieved in the network 10 using task-level scripts 22, 32 that contain the methods that correspond to those tasks that involve multiple devices, according to the present invention.
For example, in the network 10, in order to play a movie DVD on a DVD player for display on a TV screen, first a stream/content identifier must be fetched from the DVD player. The identifier is then passed to a method that switches to the appropriate channel on the TV for displaying an input stream. Then, a second method corresponding to "PLAY" is activated on the DVD player. Sequence of steps such as the above can be encapsulated in a script and the task of playing a DVD from a DVD player on a TV can be performed by executing the script in the scripting engine, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The architecture 100 allows invocation of device functionalities in the network 10, wherein the controller 102 in
The composer module 106 is responsible for transforming user actions into commands to the TEE 104. Commands to the TEE 104 are requests for executing methods in the script files provided by the discovered devices in the network. Scripts are executed by a script engine 110 via a script engine interface 112 in the TEE 104. The script engine 110 utilizes stacks 114 in the TEE 104, wherein the stacks 114 correspond to different technological CE device frameworks such as UPnP, Jini, etc., and provide support for networking protocols like Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.
The device description file 204 contains mapping between standard terminologies and the corresponding methods in the script file 206. For example, the device description states that play( ) is its implementation of AVTransport:Play( ), wherein AVTransport:Play( ) is a standard UPnP service to start the play functionality on a UPnP device. The script file 206 contains methods like play( ) implemented in a scripting language. In one example where AVTransport:Play( ) is mapped to a method x, the controller 102, knowing that AVTransport:Play( ) is for playing, achieves a play operation by executing the method x.
Example operation scenarios according to the present invention are now described. Referring to the example process 300 in
In a second example operation scenario, execution of a task is orchestrated in the network 10 using scripts.
The steps of discovery and processing of device/task description and scripts for the DVD player 402 and the TV 452 are similar to that explained above. Specifically, the DVD player 402 is one of the devices discovered in the network by the controller 102 in
A task description file provides the controller 102 (
