Despite the rapid evolution of capabilities of such devices, controlling peripherals such as networked printers is infeasible due to lack of dedicated drivers to communicate with peripherals. To immediately enable smart devices to operate peripherals, a cloud-powered system, CloudBridge, is suggested. A CloudBridge application miming on a smart device works as a TCP bridge relaying packets between two TCP tunnels connected to a networked peripheral on one side and a cloud server on the other side. Through the bridge, issuing operations from a smart device without having drivers becomes possible by asking the cloud server to interpret the operations to a language that the peripheral can understand, CloudBridge further optimizes user experience by using data compression that is adaptively applied by a decision function. The system implemented in Android phones and Linux servers is demonstrated to control networked printers on smart phones and tablets. The decision function is shown to optimize QoE metrics, such as response time and energy consumption though extensive evaluations. | 2015-05-21 |

20150143008 | FIELD BUS SYSTEM - A field bus system includes at least one bus module designed as a master module with at least one connecting device for connection to a network and with at least one port for connecting a parameterizable IO link device. The field bus system uses a data storage device which is designed as an IO link device and which can be connected to the at least one port for connecting an IO link device and in which all parameters of the IO link devices connected to the master module are stored and can be read by the master module. | 2015-05-21 |
