Abstract
Because of a security problem and not enough IPv4 address space, the home network has been made up of private network, and it has been separated from Internet. This fact prevents people in Internet from controlling and monitoring home appliances. So, this paper designs and Implements the UPnP Proxy System which offers functions for users to control and monitor home appliances. When users are in the outside of the home network, they do not know which devices were connected in the home network because the advertisement messages of UPnP devices would not be delivered to the outside of the home network. Also, users cannot access devices directly, and their control messages are not delivered into the home network. So, this paper designs and implements the UPnP Proxy System to solve these problems. The merit of the system is that users can control and monitor home appliances in realtime using presentation web documents with the HTTP push technology.
