摘要:
A system, method, and article of manufacture for controlling home network devices using a multicast enabled remote control. The system includes a plurality of home network devices capable of receiving and/or transmitting multicast input and/or output signals and a home gateway to receive audio/video signals generated outside of the home and to transform the audio/video signals into multicast output signals. The system also includes a multicast enabled remote control to detect, aggregate, store and display all audio/video multicast output signals on the multicast enabled remote control, to enable a user to redirect an audio/video multicast output signal to one or more of the plurality of home network devices capable of receiving multicast input signals, and to control the plurality of home network devices capable of receiving and/or transmitting multicast input and/or output signals.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for UPnP device code generation using XML are described. The method includes receiving a UPnP device description document from a device developer. Once received, one or more service control class files are generated, including one or more service control stub-methods. Next, the service control class files are received, including updated service control stub-methods. The updated stub-methods are modified by the device developer in order to respond to actions received by a UPnP device described by the UPnP device description document. Finally, the service control class files and the updated service control stub-methods, along with a device class library and a UPnP SDK are compiled to generate a device executable for the UPnP device described by the UPnP device description document.
