`ABSTRACT
`(57)
`Auniversal plug and play (UPnP) device makesitself known
`through a set of processes-discovery, description, control,
`eventing, and presentation. Following discovery of a UPnP
`device, an entity can learn more about the device and its
`capabilities by retrieving the device’s description. The
`description includes vendor-specific manufacturer informa-
`US2002/0029256 A1 Mar. 7, 2002
`tion like the model name and number, serial number, manu-
`Under
`37 C
`AT
`
`(Under37CFR 1.47) facturer name, URLsto vendor-specific Web sites, etc. The
`Related U.S. Application Data
`description also includesa list of any embedded devices or
`services, as well as URLsfor control, eventing, and presen-
