HTML+JavaScript M2M Applications

2. HTML+JavaScript M2M Applications Viewbiquity Public hybrid cloud platform for automating and visualizing everything

3. New Cool Capability • Viewbiquity.newremoteapp() • Creates an interface to a JavaScript service or app running on another machine anywhere in the world • Call JavaScript functions on the exposed interface exactly as you would if it was running on the same computer

4. Viewbiquity Cloud • Operation and Execution • Application Maintenance • Client and App Server profile management VCI Elements Automated Alerts – email, text, text to speech Events and Actions Events and Actions Command & Control Viewbiquity App Server • Communicates with Viewbiquity Cloud • Connects to input and output devices • Secure operation and execution behind firewall • Operates on one or many off-the shelf computers for seamless redundancy NOC or Web-connected device HTTP, XML, SOAP, etc. Viewbiquity Client • View/Monitor • Control • Communicate Z-Wave, SNMP,etc…

5. Cloud Service (i.e. Amazon EC2) Viewbiquity App Server Interaction Viewbiquity Cloud Hosted App Server Action NOC Based App Server Event Event Local App Server Local App Server

6. JavaScript Limitations • Sandbox • Limited to Domain • HTTP, DOM, Script objects • Limitations to device access • Serial ports, files, printer ports, TCP/IP (websockets), etc.. • When the browser closes the app closes • No services etc. (node.js) • Persistent Storage • Limited

7. Viewbiquity Addresses JavaScript Limitations • Sandbox Eliminated • Communicate with local devices behind the firewall • APIs for devices and protocols • Modbus, SNMP, RTSP, Serial access etc…. • Admins control apps that are allowed to run for security • Run JavaScript apps as 24/7 Services • Persistent Cloud Storage API • Files, metadata, database, events etc.

8. Reduce Application Coding • Most development time spent on “shrink wrapping” applications, not product value • Standardized GUI for App setup and configuration generated from XML templates • Libraries • 3rd party as well as in the core platform • Storage, database and logging APIs • HMI APIs (extensible) • Standardized user management and permissions architecture

9. Increase Development Productivity • Cloud Development Environment • Apps and Libraries stored and managed in the Viewbiquity Cloud • HTML GUI, Service/Script JavaScript • Integrated API help and examples • 3rd Parties create their own help and examples through IDE • Revision management • Every revision is saved with notes, time stamp and contributor • Mark revisions as Release, Stable or Development Branch • Controlled through user permissions for each file

10. Increase Development Productivity • Distributed Development Team • Control access to who can edit which libraries • Editing does not “release” apps • Library contributors can update the API help/examples directly in the library their working on • Test on development/stable branch before releasing • Revision Diffs • Dependency Management • API help for dependencies automatically added to API help in IDE • Dependencies are recursively loaded and initialized before app

11. Viewbiquity Cloud File System • App resources stored in the cloud • Accessed by unique ID • Eliminates breaking apps by moving resources • Centralized Client cache across apps • Images • Sound Files • Revision history of all files • Can be shared across organizations by subscription • Opportunity to charge for icons, media files etc.

12. Viewbiquity Event & Data logging • Core functionality • User defined event structures • Event subscription API • Push • HTTP(s) as well as JavaScript API for logging and retrieving events and data logs • XML or JSON for HTTP • JavaScript Object for JavaScript API • Application logs

13. Viewbiquity Event & Data logging • Core functionality cont’d • History on all user activity • Edits to settings, user accounts etc. • Accountability • Undo changes • Log data from sensors • Data layers API • Modules for totaling, averaging, peaks and valleys (more coming soon) • Automatically generates layers • Raw data, hourly, daily, monthly • Zoom into data as if it was a layer of a map

14. Viewbiquity Client Environment • Single interface ties apps together • Single management interface for users and administrators • Apps run in “windows” or background services • Application manager API (i.e. task manager) • Skinned through style sheets

15. Viewbiquity Object Architecture • Everything is an object and has metadata • Files, users, devices, apps, data records etc. • Objects are updated and read using a universal API • HTTP(s) • JavaScript API • Every object has a unique ID • All objects controlled through the same permission system • Objects can be shared across Organizations • Subscriptions to data, files etc.

16. Viewbiquity Templates • XML templates define meta-data for devices and data records • Devices like sensor, router, vehicle • Data records like contact in a contact list etc. • Templates used to automatically generate admin/edit screens • Eliminates a lot of work for app developer • Standardizes setup and admin • App developers can still create their own management interfaces if needed
