The universal remote console: a universal access bus for pervasive computing

V2, a technical committee of the International Committee for information technology standards is developing standards for information technology access interfaces. As part of this endeavor, V2 is to issue the Universal Remote Console architecture, a set of draft standards for public review and comment. The five standards specify communications between a Target - a device or service the user wishes to access and a universal remote console-software that is typically hosted on a user´s personal device. The standards specify mechanisms for the discovery, selection, configuration, and operation of user interfaces and its options.
