<p>A home network comprises a UPnP cluster and a HAVi cluster. UPnP uses programmatic device interfaces that are based on standardized messages being sent between the devices. HAVi also uses programmatic interfaces but needs to know the proper device type and FCMs in advance. In addition, the current UPnP and HAVi standards do not define devices that can readily be mapped onto one another owing to semantic differences. To overcome this problem, the clusters are bridged by representing a UPnP device on the HAVi cluster, wherein the UPnP device's description document is used to generate a HAVi DDI target to enable UI-based control of UPnP devices through a HAVi UI.</p> |
