IP-based UPnP Control of Network-enabled IEEE 1394 Devices

There are lots of wired and wireless home network technologies these days. However, an effective middleware is needed to control devices in home regardless oj any kinds of home network technologies applied. We can integrally and simply control all the home appliances using the architecture that leverages TCP/IP and Web technologies, which is like UPnP control technology. In this paper, UPnP technology and IEEE 1394 technology are introduced., and also UPnP over 1394 is issued. Some results from the implementation show that it is possible to control IEEE 1394 devices using the IP-based UPnP technology instead of just using a direct AV/C command set. So, in the experiment, implements the modeling of the UPnP-enabled IEEE 1394 device which is not present for real. Therefore, promising ...
