ABSTRACT:
To detect a potential virus-infected control script in a networking system, visual representations of control structures and operations effected by a suspect script are presented to a user. A visual representation of the control links that are contained within the suspect script is presented to the user, preferably in a manner such that inappropriate links and/or device states are easily recognized. To further assist in the identification of potential aberrant behavior, a manual or automated simulation process allows the user to visually observe the changes of state of appliances in response to control stimuli, based on the instructions contained in the suspect script. In addition to facilitating an identification of a virus-infected script, the visual representation of the control structure of the network described by the script, and the simulation or emulation of this control structure, also facilitates the development and de-bugging of well-mannered control scripts, particularly in a home or office networking system. A third-party provider may provide the visual representation and/or the simulation process, in return for information regarding the inventory of equipment at the user's site, to facilitate marketing opportunities.
