communcation between node.js and processing

Question

i'am working on a project where i receive data from mobile phones via websockets to a node.js server using socket.io. and this i want to pass to processing. The processing sketch is not running in the browser, it manage sounds, arduino, ... so i wonder what would be a good protocool to send the data to the processing sketch?

I did not found a way to use socket.io in processing, so i thought about using osc? Or is there a other socket protocoll i can use between mobile phones, node, processing?

thanks!

See if this shield will do the trick for you: http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoEthernetShield Found a few simple projects from google that seem to fit your description of what you want (turn something on/off from the web).

Node can be your server, with sockets.io, and node can most likely communicate over the web with this shield. Note: I've never used it, just googled, saw a project that looks like what you are interested in.
