The subject invention provides a system and / or a method that facilitates interacting with a device component to provide uniform communication, discovery, and management. A device service provider interface (DSPI) component can provide a uniform manner to communicate and / or manage a radio frequency identification (RFID) device. The DSPI component can include a receiver component that receives one or more RFID server data and RFID device data. The DSPI component can define an interface that facilitates communication of the one or more of RFID server data and RFID device data between an RFID device and an RFID server in a uniform manner. The interface(s) can be defined to handle discovery, configuration, communication, and connection management.

A service provider interface protocol, when embedded into a network-capable device, can automatically connect the device to a wired or wireless network. This automatic device connectivity can include automatic logging on, automatic authentication and seamless, automatic data upload to, or download from, another location on the network. Configuration parameters for the automatic authentication, upload and download locations and other related device configurations can be stored within the network server-side management system.

A system for motion control in which an application is developed that is independent from the actual motion control hardware used to implement the system. The system comprises a software system that employs an application programming interface comprising component functions and a service provider interface comprising driver functions. A system programmer writes an application that calls the component functions. Code associated with the component functions relates these functions to the driver functions. A hardware designer writes driver code that implements the driver functions on a given motion control hardware product. The driver functions are separated into core and extended driver functions. All software drivers implement the core driver functions, while the software drivers need not contain code for implementing the extended driver functions. If the software driver does not contain code to implement an extended driver function, the functionality of the extended driver function is obtained through a combination of core driver functions. The system programmer may also select one or more streams that allow the control commands to be communicated to, and response data to be communicated from, motion control hardware.

It is provided a super territorial service center for allocating orders for payable back travels to one or more location-related service providers traveling outside their respective local territories. The service center receives service orders, receives data associated with location and availability of the service providers, and allocates service orders to service providers. The service orders include service times, pick-up locations, and destinations in local territories different from the pick-up location. The service center includes an order interface, a service provider interface and an allocating unit. The order interface receives service orders from clients using the internet, telephony system, cellular networks, and indirectly through local dispatchers. The service provider interface receives the data associated with location and availability of the service providers using location and communication means like GPS devices and cellular modem used by the service providers, or through local dispatchers. The allocating module searches appropriate service provider in a gradually increasing zone around the pick-up location, searches appropriate service provider having a respective local territory in a gradually increasing zone around the destination location, calculates travel time between locations based on available routes and traffic data, and prioritizes service provider regarding allocation of the service orders.

Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for providing trusted service management services. According to one embodiment, a system can include at least one service provider gateway operable to receive and transmit messages with multiple service providers; at least one mobile network operator gateway operable to receive and transmit messages with multiple mobile network operators; at least one provisioning gateway operable to transmit mobile device application data with multiple mobile devices and to receive messages from the plurality of mobile devices. The system can further include a processor operable to execute computer-executable instructions to: facilitate service provider communications by providing a common service provider interface for the service providers; facilitate mobile network operator communications by providing a common mobile network operator interface for the mobile network operators; facilitate provisioning multiple mobile device applications with the mobile devices; and facilitate communications with the mobile devices.
