EmbeddedWeb Server Technology from AllPen Software Enables Remote Devices to Share and Publish Data to Web Browsers
LOS GATOS, Calif. — August 8, 1997 — AllPen Software is announcing the introduction of its EmbeddedWeb Server, a new technology that will be used for such diverse applications as remote automobile diagnostics, interactive set-top boxes, interactive traffic signals and remote monitoring of appliances and vending machines.
The new technology, which has been recently ported to the Microsoft's Windows CE operating system, provides a means for remote devices to share and publish data to standard Web browsers anywhere in the world.
AllPen will demonstrate the technology at the upcoming Embedded Systems Conference beginning Sept. 29 in San Jose, Calif. The demonstrated applications for EmbeddedWeb will include a vending machine that communicates its status, inventory, and stored money to standard web browsers via the web.
"The AllPen EmbeddedWeb technology puts the power of a web server onto a handheld mobile device," commented Wayne Yurtin, co-founder of AllPen Software. "Truly mobile embedded device communications including web servers and web browsers takes the power of the Internet to another level beyond the conventional desktop or laptop computer."
AllPen Software is already working together with Daimler-Benz to leverage AllPen's mobile EmbeddedWeb technology.
A leader in embedded browser and server technologies, AllPen Software demonstrated the first handheld wireless browser in 1993 and the first handheld wireless Web server in 1996. By placing AllPen's lightweight EmbeddedWeb web server technology inside a consumer product (automobiles, mobile phones, building alarm systems, fax machines, televisions, etc.), these devices can be easily accessed and/or controlled through the Internet from standard Web browsers.
AllPen Software assists Fortune 1000 firms in Web-enabling non-traditional computing devices through AllPen's software, including their EmbeddedWeb and NetHopper technologies. Markets include handheld PC and PDA, consumer electronics, automotive and screen phones. Supported operating systems include Microsoft's Windows CE, Newton, Inc.'s Newton OS, and the Palm OS for the Palm Pilot.
AllPen's NetHopper mobile browser product is the "built-in" browser on Apple Computer' two recently released Newton devices, both the MessagePad 2000, a StrongArm Internet-enabled device, as well as the Apple eMate 300, Apple's new mobile computer for education.
