Abstract: The present disclosure provides a communication method, apparatus, device, and system, relating to the technical field of communications. During the communication between the controlee device and the control terminal, translation can be performed by the controller. As the SDP of the controlee device and the SDPID of the SDP are pre-created, the controller can translate all functions corresponding to the SDP to controller's native execution coding. When any functions need to be altered or any function needs to be added, it only needs to follow the same process to re-create a new SDP and the SDPID of the SDP, that is, functions of all devices can be re-defined in ad-hoc manner and the controller counterpart will accommodate on demand base on the very same mechanism.
