`Audio/Video Working Committee
`Jean Moonen, Philips Electronics N. V.
`Audio/Video Working Committee Chair
`
`The Audio/Video (AV) Working Committee held its first Plug
`Fest. Despite travel restrictions, five AV companies
`participated with 18 devices in total. There were six
`Mediaserver devices, six MediaRenderer (player) devices
`and six control points. Most devices were audio-based, using
`HTTP streaming of MP3 audio.
`
`A typical test configuration consisted of three devices as
`pictured.

`
`Each test involved:
`
`- Discovery of devices and services by the control point;
`0 Browsing of content (mostly audio) using the
`ContentDirectory service;
`- Compatibility checking (streaming protocol, content
`format) using ConnectionManager services on both
`Mediaserver and MediaRenderer devices; and
`- Streaming of content from the Mediaserver device to
`the MediaRenderer device with playback using the
`AVTransport service
`
`The tests identified only minor issues with the service
`definitions. A second Plug Fest, which will involve more
`elaborate testing, especially in the area of remote content

`
`

`
`browsing and searching, is planned for February 2002.
`
`Other committee work included freezing the features to be
`supported by version 1.0 of the MediaServer and
`MediaRenderer device types and completing the associated
`documentation. In addition to the two device templates and
`four service templates, a framework document will explain
`the global design of the device types, as well as the
`interactions between MediaServer, MediaRenderer and the
`control point.
`
`The next steps are to specify semantic test cases and
`prepare for the next Plug Fest. The committee's four
`services and two devices are expected to move to Template
`Design Complete status in the first quarter of 2002.
`
`A three­vendor UPnP AV network was demonstrated at the
`Fifth UPnP Forum Summit. The network included Sony
`Corp.'s MicroServer device implementing the MediaServer
`specification; a Philips' Internet Audio System device
`implementing the MediaRenderer specification; and a control
`point application from Intel Corp. The demonstration
`involved the discovery and browsing of audio content,
`compatibility checking between audio sources and sinks, and
`streaming of audio content between UPnP devices. It showed
`the viability of UPnP implementations on actual consumer
`electronics.
`
`Home Automation and Security Working
`Committee
`Hans J. Langels, Siemens AG
`Home Automation and Security Working Committee Chair
`
`The Home Automation and Security Working Committee has
`reached an important milestone by bringing the
`PowerSystem and SecurityAccessControl service and device
`descriptions to Template Design Complete status.
`Congratulations to Dominique Lallement (MGE UPS
`Systems), Roger Banner (Powerware Corp.), Paul Bohan
`(American Power Conversion Corp.), Nahum Tchernihovsky
`(Visonic Ltd.), and Volker Aumann (Kaba Benzing GmbH)!
`
`This latest effort completes the design work covering a wide
`scope of products and systems in the home automation and
`security category: Lighting, HVAC, Digital Security Camera,
`Blinds/Shutters/MotorControl, PowerSystem, and
`SecurityAccessControl.
`
`Several Forum members have presented implementations of
`these templates. These implementations are important to
`the committee's next step—testing three sample
`implementations of each template.
`
`UPnP Forum members are encouraged to test their
`implementations against the UPnP Test Tool. Only your
`contribution can move device and service descriptions to a
`UPnP standard Device Control Protocol (DCP). Please contact
`Hans­Joachim.Langels@Siemens.com regarding sample
`test implementations for this committee.

`
`Imaging Working Committee
`Shivaun Albright, Hewlett­Packard Co.
`Imaging Working Committee Chair
`
`The Imaging Working Committee Plug Fest held in the fourth
`quarter of 2001 tested interoperability of print and scanner
`devices and is making great progress toward completion of
`the UPnP standards work in this area.
`
`This was the first Plug Fest for the Scanner Subcommittee
`and the second Plug Fest for the Print Subcommittee. The
`Print Subcommittee tested discovery, Device Description
`Document (DDD) validation, Service Control Protocol
`Declaration (SCPD) validation and the functionality of the
`PrintBasic:1 Service Template. Hewlett­Packard Co., Canon
`Inc., Lexmark International Inc., Oak Technology Inc. and
`Microsoft Corp. participated.
`
`All of the printer devices supported the UPnP basic
`functionality of discovery and presentation, as well as
`handling exposure to the rigorous validation of the DDD and
`the SCPD, as provided by the Microsoft Certification tool. All
`of the devices were able to print a job using the CreateJob
`Action and generate events as specified in the PrintBasic
`Service Template.
`
`The Print Subcommittee has three sample implementations
`provided by Hewlett­Packard, Canon and Lexmark
`International. Once testing of the three sample
`implementations is complete, which is expected by February
`2002, the Print Subcommittee will submit the PrintBasic
`Service Template to the Steering Committee for standards
`approval. The Steering Committee has a 45­day review
`period to receive comments, after which, if there are no
`objections, the service template moves to "Approved
`Standard" status.
`
`Hewlett­Packard, Canon and Ricoh Corp. participated in the
`Scanner Plug Fest, which tested basic scanner
`interoperability. The goal of the Plug Fest was to have
`devices exhibit the functionality of the Scanner Service, the
`Feeder Service and the External Activity Service. The
`Scanner Subcommittee plans to conduct another Plug Fest in
`early 2002 to further test interoperability between the
`control points and scanner devices.
`
`Internet Gateway Working Committee
`Prakash Iyer, Intel Corp.
`Internet Gateway Working Committee Chair
`
`The Steering Committee formally approved the Internet
`Gateway Device Control Protocol (DCP) v1.0 specification,
`making it the first UPnP standardized DCP specification. As
`Working Committee chair, I would like to personally
`congratulate all committee members, especially the sample
`implementers, for their participation and significant
`contributions over the past 18 months, which helped the
`committee achieve this extremely important milestone.
`
`The Intel® AnyPoint™ Networking Gateway Model 1300 also
`became the first Internet gateway product to receive the
`UPnP certification mark from the UIC. Additional vendors are
`expected to certify Internet gateway products in the near
`
`Netflix, Inc. Exhibit 1019
`
`

`
`future, paving the way for UPnP­enabled gateway products
`in early 2002.
`
`The Steering Committee has, in keeping with the procedures
`laid out by the Forum, disbanded the Internet Gateway
`Working Committee. However, committee members are
`continuing discussions on the scope and direction for a new
`committee charter to define more advanced UPnP services
`for future variants of gateway devices. A formal proposal
`will be presented to the Steering Committee in the coming
`months.
`
`Security Working Committee
`Vic Lortz, Intel Corp.
`Security Working Committee Chair
`
`The Security Working Committee has made substantial
`progress since its formation in August 2001. Completed
`tasks include the following:
`
`Defined how to securely introduce and establish trust
`for new devices and control points on the network
`Adopted mechanisms for end­to­end confidentiality and
`authentication of SOAP messages, and defined a
`strategy for protecting event messages using XML
`encryption
`Developed a fine­grained access control framework
`based on public key cryptography and device­defined
`sets of permissions
`Drafted service specification and architectural
`framework documents
`
`The access control framework also includes support for
`certificate­based groups of principals with limited delegation
`of permissions. Furthermore, the same public keys used in
`the Control and Eventing phases can also be used with self­
`signed certificates to authenticate the Presentation phase
`over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer
`Security (TLS) connections. This approach permits the same
`access control framework to apply to both the Control and
`Presentation phases of UPnP.
`
`Intel is developing an implementation of the security
`services, and demonstrated an early prototype at the Fifth
`UPnP Forum Summit.
`
`The committee has only a few outstanding issues to resolve
`before completing the version 1 security services. The group
`is working to develop solutions that would apply to future
`version of UPnP as well, although no decision has been made
`yet regarding their inclusion.
`
`The Security Committee is working to complete security
`services v1.0 by summer 2002. Other working committees
`and manufacturers are encouraged to begin reviewing the
`preliminary documents related to security and make plans to
`incorporate security features into their devices. Feedback is
`welcome regarding implementation of UPnP security services
`in real devices. Control point implementers should likewise
`begin planning for security enhancements so their products
`will be able to discover and control security­aware devices.
`
`An archived mail list (security@forum.upnp.org) has been
`established for the Security Working Committee, in addition
`
`Netflix, Inc. Exhibit 1019
`
`

`
`to scheduled weekly teleconferences. All Forum members
`are welcome to join the committee's mail list. To do so, visit
`forum.upnp.org/archives/SECURITY.html and follow the
`"Join or leave the list" link.
`
`Marketing Committee
`Mark Lee, Microsoft Corp.
`Marketing Committee Chair
`
`The Marketing Committee closed off calendar year 2001 with
`the UPnP Forum Summit and development of the UPnP
`marketing plan for 2002.
`
`The UPnP Forum hosted the Fifth Forum Summit in Redmond
`in November 2001. For the first time, the summit event
`included a session track focused on marketing and market
`development issues.
`
`2001 saw good progress for UPnP Forum marketing. During
`the year, the Marketing Committee was involved directly in
`completion of the new UPnP certification mark, creation of
`the logo usage guidelines, promotion of the Internet gateway
`standard, announcement of the formation of the UIC, and
`refreshing the look and content of the UPnP Forum Web site.
`
`Looking ahead to 2002, a priority for the Forum is to
`complete more standards. Additional standards will mean
`more vendors can introduce UPnP certified products. Those
`products will make a significant difference for users and the
`industry. The Marketing Committee will contribute to this
`goal by providing baseline information and awareness­
`building efforts and by fostering an environment in which
`UPnP technology makes a real difference in newly
`standardized product categories.
`
`To achieve this goal in 2002, we need to more deeply
`engage Forum Member companies—particularly Steering
`Committee members—in marketing activities on behalf of
`the Forum. This effort is driving a more distributed
`organization within the Marketing Committee, which is
`designating owners for events, member relations and other
`core marketing disciplines, as well as for various product
`categories.
`
`As standards are completed for additional product
`categories, the Marketing Committee can assist Forum
`member companies that want to create cooperative
`marketing and awareness­building programs. Member
`companies can work together under the auspices of the UPnP
`Forum to drive awareness, public relations outreach, and
`other efforts to make UPnP technology a key differentiator in
`each successive, standardized product category. Product
`category­specific effort can help drive category success of
`UPnP technology while contributing to overall UPnP
`technology adoption.
