A method and system for QoS control for remote access to UPnP devices, is disclosed. Enabling QoS control for remote access to UPnP devices involves providing a UPnP control point; providing a UPnP device in a network, wherein the first UPnP control point is connected to the network via a communication link; and providing access between the UPnP control point and the UPnP device by utilizing a UPnP proxy that examines UPnP messages in and out of the network and translates the local URL in the message to a URL that is accessible by the UPnP control point over the communication link.

A method of representing user tasks to be performed by one or more of a plurality of electronic devices in a task orchestration system. Each device includes therein a function description specifying a function that the device can perform. The function descriptions are obtained from one or more of the devices, task descriptions that describe device functionalities required for certain tasks are obtained, and task suggestion are generated based on the obtained device function descriptions and task descriptions. Each task suggestion represents a user task as an abstraction of on or more of the obtained device descriptions and task descriptions. The tasks suggestion are displayed on a display for the user to select from, wherein the user selected task suggestion is to be performed by orchestration (automation) of one or more of the devices based on task descriptions that use device functionalities described in the device function descriptions.

Health data measurement devices may be used in a UPnP home network to obtain health data and have the data stored in personal health records in an application hosting device in the network. Various types of devices may be used to access the data and to render the data on displays in the home network, such as televisions, using UPnP protocols. A health sensor device has an IP-LAN UPnP health service module and a possible a control point. An application hosting device, which stores and manages the health data, has a host UPnP health service module and may also have a control point. A remote device, such as a cell phone, may be used to remotely access health data on the application hosting device. A remote device description is dynamically generated by the hosting device based on a configuration set in a remote access service on the hosting device. The remote device description is generated dynamically (“on the fly”) as the remote device attempts to access data in the UPnP network.

A method and system implementing a process for content synchronization that detects and prevents synchronization recursion in CDS transfer operations. A synchronization relationship is formed between the CDS containers in multiple devices. Then content synchronization processes are performed based on that relationship to avoid synchronization recursion.
