If the device were connected to the server and you have already said that it is not then I think there would be security issues at least. Due to security it is unlikely you could use a client-side language such as JavaScript or Java to do it entirely inside the browser. You need to develop an application of some type that could be downlaoded and installed by the user then the server could communicate with that. I am not sure of the details; sorry.
