The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus and method that enables apparatuses connected to an IEEE 802 network to communicate with one another. A UPnP control point 1 and a UPnP device 2 are connected with an IEEE 802 network 11. When controlling the UPnP device 2, the UPnP control point 1 describes the content of control based on an AV/C command utilized for IEEE 1394. The command based on SOAP is transmitted to UPnP device 2 via the IEEE 802 network 11. The UPnP device 2 extracts the AV/C command from the command based on SOAP and executes a corresponding process. The present invention can be applied in personal computers.
