  • Pairing service technologies
    Patent number: 7783803
    Abstract: Pairing service technologies is described. In embodiment(s), peripheral devices can be discovered, such as by a computer device, and a peripheral device can be configured with multiple services that each correspond to one or more data communication protocols. The multiple services of the peripheral device can be determined, and a pairing sequence can be prioritized for the multiple services. The data communication protocol(s) can then be paired according to the pairing sequence to configure the multiple services of the peripheral device.

  • Uniform resource discovery provider
    Publication number: 20050187924
    Abstract: A request is received for one or more function instances. The request specifies a resource category. A resource provider is selected from a plurality of resource providers based on the resource category. One or more function instances are created by the selected resource provider to satisfy the request. Each of the created function instance is associated with a resource and specifies resource metadata and activation data.

  • Uniform resource discovery
    Publication number: 20050187921
    Abstract: An input including information specifying criteria for selecting computer resources is processed to produce an output comprising one or more function instances associated with computer resources satisfying the criteria. Included in each of the one or more function instances are metadata and information that specifies a mechanism for accessing a computer resource associated with the function instance.
