US Patent 10884712 Component-based framework for generating device driver model elements

A device may connect to a physical device. A device may obtain a device description document relating to the physical device based on connecting to the physical device. The device may parse the device description document to identify one or more components of the physical device. The device may select, from a repository of generic textual model components, one or more generic textual model components corresponding to the physical device based on parsing the device description. The device may generate, based on selecting the one or more generic textual model components, a device driver model element that includes the one or more generic textual model components. The device driver model element may be used to control the physical device or receive information from the physical device. The device may provide, via a user interface, information identifying the device driver model element.
