Abstract

An automated device recordation and registration process for automatically registering, on a remote computer, an embedded device is described. The registration process includes a feature detection process for detecting feature information associated with a device to be registered. A transmission process transmits the feature information to a remote computer at a known address using a self-describing computer language. A registration process registers the device by storing the feature information on the remote computer.
