Method for controlling HAVi device through non-IEEE1394 network and system therefor

摘要

A method and apparatus for controlling a device of a HAVi network system through a non-IEEE1394 network are provided. The method for controlling through the non-IEEE1394 network a device which is connected to a Home Audio Video interoperability (HAVi) network system, includes: (a) installing a non-IEEE1394 communications module and a proxy manager in a control device connected to the HAVi network system; (b) installing a havlet and a client proxy in the controller having a non-IEEE1394 communications module; (c) converting a user control command input through the havlet into a HAVi message; (d) packaging the HAVi message into a non-IEEE1394 network message through the client proxy and transmitting the non-IEEE1394 message to the proxy manager through the non-IEEE1394 communication module; and (e) extracting the HAVi message from the received non-IEEE1394 message through the proxy manager and sending the HAVi message to a messaging system installed in the control device. According to the method and apparatus, a device connected to a HAVi network system can be controlled by executing the havlet on the non-IEEE1394 network.
