Problems solved by technology

[0007] (1) For each non-UPnP device, the corresponding UPnP device program must be redeveloped, and the development cycle is long
[0008] (2) For devices that have not yet become the standard of the UPnP Forum, you need to design your own device description files and service description files, and the developed devices are usually only for a certain type of product. If there are new products, you need to re-modify the description files and develop corresponding UPnP device program, poor interoperability, manufacturers lack motivation to develop UPnP devices

Embodiment 1

[0038] Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for controlling a non-universal plug and play UPnP device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, including the following steps:

[0039] Step A, notifying the control point in the UPnP network of the service content of the non-UPnP device according to the service information of the non-UPnP device;

[0040]Before step A, it may also include: detecting a non-UPnP device. The detection of the non-UPnP device may be prompted by the user to input configuration information to prompt the access of the non-UPnP device, and the configuration information includes device type, device model, manufacturer and so on. If the non-UPnP device has information processing capability, the method for controlling a non-UPnP device of the present invention can automatically detect the non-UPnP device according to the information sent by it.

[0041] The service information includes a description of the service content that the non-UPnP device ca...

Embodiment 2

[0060] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a network device adaptation device. As shown in FIG. Control of control points.

[0061] FIG. 4 is a structural diagram of a network equipment adaptation device provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The network equipment adaptation device 400 includes:

[0062] The storage module 401 stores information related to at least one non-UPnP device, including service information and device driver interface information, specifically service description files and device driver interface description files. The storage module also stores at least one device driver of the non-UPnP device, which can be invoked through the corresponding device driver interface to control the non-UPnP device to complete specific service actions. In this embodiment, all description files adopt the XML language format stipulated by the UPnP Forum, and may be described in other language formats during actual use. The storage module 401 ...

Embodiment 3

[0072] In order to enable the UPnP device to be flexibly configured according to the user's needs, to support user-defined devices or support more types of devices, as shown in Figure 5, a user configuration module 501 and an information processing module 502 can also be set in the network device adaptation device .

[0073] The user configuration module 501 enables the user to configure additional non-UPnP device information for the network device adaptation device, so that the network device adaptation device supports more types of non-UPnP devices. If the non-UPnP device of a specific model of a specific manufacturer is not pre-configured by the network device adaptation device, the user only needs to input simple configuration information such as manufacturer name, device model, serial number, etc. through the user configuration module 501, and the information processing The module 502 can automatically generate device information and service information according to the c...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for controlling the non-universal plug-and-play equipment, which is characterized in that after the service request message of a control point is received, the corresponding relationship of the interfaces of a UPnP service and a non UPnP device driver is searched according to the content of required UPnP service in the request message in order to find the device driver of the non UPnP equipment, which drives the equipment to complete the corresponding service action. The method for controlling the non-universal plug-and-play equipment of the invention has the advantages that the UPnP function can be realized by the non UPnP equipment without UPnP function without modification, which can accept the control of the control points in UPnP network and realize the information interaction and resource sharing; in addition, the invention also provides an adaptation device for the network equipment and a communication system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a method and device for controlling non-universal plug and play UPnP equipment, and a communication system. Background technique [0002] At present, with the development of home network technology, especially the use of the UPnP (Universal Plug and Play, Universal Plug and Play) protocol, more and more home appliances use the UPnP technology to realize mutual communication and resource sharing. UPnP is an architecture designed for universal peer-to-peer network connections of smart home appliances, wireless devices, and personal computers of all form factors. It is designed to provide an easy-to-use, flexible and based standard connections. UPnP is a distributed open network architecture that makes full use of TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) and Web technology. In addition to full control and data transfer, a seamless and tight network ...
