Problems solved by technology

[0013] However, according to the UPnP standard, although a device can provide a UI by displaying a page, because it is not a necessary factor, for a device that does not provide it, the CP must have a UI that can control the device by itself, or the display page is provided by each Even if the same service is provided by the device, the display pages are different from each other. If the same UI cannot be provided, there will be problems
[0014] That is, in the prior art, since the display page is not defined as a standard-required factor, there may be devices that do not provide it, or if the device provides a display page, since there is no prescribed standard, it is up to the device manufacturer to do so arbitrarily. Made, so even if it is the same type of device, if the manufacturer is different, there is a problem that its UI is different

Embodiment Construction

[0023] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] As mentioned above in the embodiment of the present invention, the services provided to each device are different, so the UIs are also different.

[0025] For example, in order to control a device that can provide a TV function, an interface that can change the TV channel is generally required, and in order to control a device that can provide a refrigeration function, generally, an interface that can adjust the temperature is required.

[0026] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the CP can provide the operation of downloading the UI from the outside through the HTTP protocol. For this purpose, it generally has an HTTP client capable of downloading UPnP description pages or processing descriptions and events.

Abstract

This invention relates to a method for controlling interfaces of UPnP devices including the following stages: if finding out devices on the network, it confirms if a user control UI request exists, if so, it checks if the related UI exists, if not, the UI is downloaded according to the kind of the device, the UI information is explained and the UI panel is displayed in terms of the form designed in advance in order to control related devices and make sure if the control utilizing the UI panel is finished, if the UI of the related device necessary to be controlled and found out on the network does not exist, all UPnP devices can be controlled by downloading related UI from foreign servers without considering kinds of devices and service.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) network, in particular to a method for providing a UPnP device control interface on the UPnP network. Background technique [0002] In a home, two or more devices communicating with each other is called a home network. With the continuous expansion of the home network, the network environment with the existing PCs in the home as the main body gradually becomes an environment that uses a variety of lower-level network technologies. At the same time, home appliances use the IP protocol independently to form a networked network Technology has also become a necessary technology, this technology includes the UPnP that has been invented TM (hereinafter abbreviated as UPnP) technology. [0003] UPnP technology is based on a decentralized and open network structure, so that each home appliance product in the home network is not subject to centralized management by the center, but can form a seamless p...
