METHOD OF CONTROLLING DEVICE CONNECTED TO UNIVERSAL PLUG AND PLAY HOME NETWORK VIA INTERNET, THE SYSTEM AND DEVICE THEREOF

摘要

A method for controlling a device connected to a UPnP(Universal Plug and Play) home network through the Internet, a system, and a device are provided to use a polling-based notification service using the internet, therefore a user can control the device connected to the UPnP home network over the Internet. A client registers in an external device(130) of a UPnP home network with control information on a device(100)(S200-S203). The third party notification message regarding control of the device is converted into a control message for a device which does not provide a web-based user interface or a device which provides the web-based user interface, with a message received over the Internet from the external device after registration(S204-S208). The converted control message is transmitted to the device which provides the web-based user interface or the device which does not provide the web-based user interface(S209-S212).
