Abstract
A manager amongst numerous devices that serves as a manager or monitors another managed device. The managing device may queries the managed device to determine the functionality provided by, or requirements of, one or more managed device UIs. The managed device returns the functionality provided by or requirements of the managed device UI(s) to the managing device which, in turn, saves the information in a master UI function table. The managing device returns one or more UI modules to the managed device that are appropriate as based upon the received UI functionality or UI requirement information. The managing device may further assemble one or more UI modules that are appropriate as based upon the received UI functionality or UI requirement information and provide the assembled UI module to a user of the managing device.
