METHOD FOR INTERCONNECTING DIGITAL HOME NETWORK DEVICES ACROSS GATEWAYS

摘要

The present invention discloses two methods for interconnecting digital home network devices across gateways. One of the methods comprises that: a first home controlling sub-gateway sends a searching request in the digital home network by using Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP); an intelligent home device receives the searching request, determines whether itself matches the home controlling sub-gateway or not according to some searching conditions, and sends a unicast SSDP response which is transmitted among the digital home network devices if the intelligent home device matches successfully; the first home controlling sub-gateway receives the SSDP response message, obtains the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) list for accessing the intelligent home device by analyzing the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) format information of the URL in the SSDP message; and the first home controlling sub-gateway sends the obtained URL list to each home controlling sub-gateway in the digital home network by using Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). By implementing the present invention, users can control and maintain intelligent home devices conveniently.
