A system for providing various overlay information one UPnP AV media renderers. According to the present invention, indications of messages and/or other information received by a UPnP mobile telephone or other UPnP control point can be directly transmitted to a renderer and exhibited in different manners. The present invention also permits the UPnP control point to transmit an event subscription to the renderer for subsequent use. The renderer permits accept or reject the receipt of various information at the particular time.

An advanced search system for UPnP media items such as audio and video. According to the present invention, a content directory service of a UPnP media server is capable of creating various “favorite” lists of most requested, accessed and/or played media items. A UPnP AV control point, when entering a UPnP network including the media server, can request a particular favorite list based upon a wide variety of criteria. In response to this request, the UPnP media server can provide the UPnP AV control point with the requested favorite list.

A UPnP device control protocol for mobile telephones. The device control protocol of the present invention defines the services, actions, and state variables that a UPnP mobile device would expose to a UPnP network. According to the present invention, a mobile telephone or device would act primarily as a UPnP device, offering its services to other devices, such as televisions. These services may include messaging, telephone calls, telephone book functions, calendar functions, and other functions.
摘要:
Selecting media for public rendering via user devices involves coupling one or more proximately co-located mobile devices to a network. Metadata of the mobile devices is discovered via the network. The metadata is indicative of media preferences of users associated with the mobile devices. The metadata is correlated to determine media selections in accordance with the media preferences of the users, and the media selections are publicly rendered for the users
摘要:
A system and method for determining the remaining free storage capacity of a media database in a media server device (MSD), such as one used in a universal plug and play audio-visual (UPnP AV) architecture. The present invention allows a user of a MSD hosting a content directory service (CDS), prior to a large copy or move operation, to query the media database of the MSD as to the remaining free storage capacity. In one embodiment of the present invention, a query action is implemented in a control point (CP), allowing the CP to query the CDS, which in turn queries the MSD file system/operating system (OS) to determine the remaining free capacity storage of the media database. This capacity information is then sent back to the CP for presentation to a user of the MSD. In a second embodiment, the query is implemented as a dedicated AV MSD service. In a third embodiment, UPnP eventing and a new state variable capable of indicating the remaining free storage capacity is used.

Providing a gaming service via an ad hoc peer-to-peer network involves configuring a device to offer a generic peer-to-peer gaming service that facilitates access to a plurality of specific networked games of the device. The device advertises the gaming service using a service discovery protocol of the network. Game play is facilitated via the gaming service. Accessing a gaming service via an ad hoc peer-to-peer network involves coupling a device to the network. The device discovers a generic peer-to-peer gaming service using a service discovery protocol of the network. The generic gaming service is offered by a peer device and facilitates access to a plurality of specific networked games of the peer device. The device selects a networked game from the plurality of specific networked games of the peer device, and play of the networked game occurs at least between the device and a peer device of the network.

An instant-messaging system (IM) includes messaging devices equipped with individuating addresses, which include a client functionality and a transceiver or data-transmission-reception means for performing instant messaging between the messaging devices, and each of which messaging devices is equipped with messaging capabilities, which messaging capabilities differ at least partly between the messaging devices, and a server functionality arranged to maintain information on the messaging devices belonging to the instant-messaging system. The server functionality is arranged to maintain information on the messaging capabilities of the messaging devices.
摘要:
Methods and systems are provided to link two Universal Plug and Play (“UPnP”) networks to enable the devices in one to communicate directly with the devices in the other. Specifically, a mobile station visiting a first UPnP network may establish communication with a second UPnP network via Web Services (“WS”) protocol with a network gateway of the second UPnP network. The UPnP devices in the first UPnP network can then communicate with those in the second. According to another aspect, a secure communication link is provided between the UPnP network and the remotely located mobile station. Specifically, a network gateway acts as an entry point to the UPnP network and authenticates and authorizes messages from the mobile station. According to yet another aspect, a mobile station lacking UPnP capabilities can communicate with UPnP devices using a network gateway that converts between WS messages and UPnP commands.
