This paper presents an architecture of UPnP Bridge that allows controlling Non-iP devices from UPnP control point, without modification to Non-IP device or UPnP control point implementations. UPnP devices must provide SSDP discovery, SOAP control and GENA event processes. To represent Non-IP devices to UPnP devices, UPnP Bridge provides these functionalities on behalf of Non-IP devices. We provides two method to interoperability between UPnP and Non-IP devices, Message Field Description, Non-UPnP Proxy devices. And solution to integrate heterogeneous networking standards(RS232C, CAN, IEEE1394, USB) is provided.

This paper presents an architecture of UPnP Bridge for interconnecting Non-lP devices with heterogeneous network interfaces to UPnP devices on UPnP networks. The proposed UPnP Bridge provides a Virtual UPnP device that performs generic UPnP Device's functionalities on behalf of Non-lP device. This paper defines 3 types of descriptions, Device Description, Message Field Description, and Extended UPnP Service Description in order to reduce the amount of effort required to connect a non-lP device with a new interface or message format to UPnP network. By these three types of descriptions and Message conversion module, developers for Non-lP devices can easily connect the devices to UPnP network without additional programming. So UPnP control point controls Non-lP devices as generic UPnP device. Some experiments validate the proposed architecture, which are performed on a test bed consisting of UPnP network the proposed bridge, and non-lP devices with CAN and RS232 interfaces.

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is one of the most promising home network middleware technologies because of its straightforward implementation and zero configuration characteristics. However, it has a limitation of the operations only IP based network and proceeding in a single IP subnet. In this paper, we proposed network bridge architecture for UPnP network to interoperate heterogeneous network, UPnP and ZigBee. The proposed network bridge architecture is capable of configuration ZigBee device as a virtual UPnP device. This technique is promising for seamless inter-networking with ZigBee and UPnP network. Also, the architecture of the proposed network bridge architecture can be applied for a future smart home.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a HNCP-UPnP bridge. HNCP networked devices targeted to white goods are allowed to be controlled and monitored by UPnP Control Point. Bridge provides automated creation of UPnP proxy device and message conversion. The developed system enables integration of heterogeneous home network.

The control of electrical appliances residing in the home network can be accomplished via Internet with the UPnP expansion without modifying an existing UPnP. In this paper, we propose the Internet Gateway that consists of an UPnP IGD(Internet Gateway Device) DCP(Device Control Protocol) and an UPnP Bridge as a system to control electrical appliances of home network. UPnP IGD DCP is to enable the configurable initiation and sharing of Internet connections as well as assuring advanced connection-management features and management of host configuration service. It also supports transparent Internet access by non-UPnP-certified devices. UPnP Bridge searches for local home network devices by sending control messages, while control point of UPnP Bridge looks up devices of interest on the Internet, subsequently furnishing the inter-networking controlling among devices which belong to different home network systems. With our approach, devices on one home network can control home electrical appliances on the other home network via Internet through IGD DCP with control commands of UPnP.

UPnP presents home network middleware for local home electrical appliances basedon internet protocols that is available access and control electrical appliances just in local home network. Itis designed to bring easy-to-use, flexible, standards-based connectivity to ad-hoc or unmanaged networks in the home, a small business, public spaces, or attached to the Internet. In this paper, Internet Gateway expands UPnP IGD(Internet Gateway Device) DCP(Device Control protocol) and UPnP IGP Bridge for Internet Home Network Electrical Appliance Control. UPnP IGD DCP is configurable initiation and sharing of internet connections, advanced connection-management features, management of host configuration service, and supports transparent Internet access by non-UPnP-certified devices. UPnP Bridge search for local home network devices by sending control messages. Control Point of UPnP Bridge search for devices of interest on the network and can control or be controlled all of functions by IGD DCP with control commands. Outside client, approach to UPnP IGD DCP, send control messages UPnP Bridge, and invoke each UPnP device. As a result, Electrical Appliance of Home Network base on UPnP, can control and be controlled via the Internet like ones in the one Home Network without modification of existing UPnP.

UPnP Bridge supporting diverse network interface has to meet standard requirements in order to be connected with legacy devices. It is able to provide or bridge a service description and device description according to a specification because IEEE1394 and USB have this standard requirements. But it is difficult to know whether it RS232C supports only serial communication and packet transfer. It need a document for the standard definition of communication protocol on UPnP device having such interface. By doing so, this document can understand device and packet type. This paper defines MFD(Message Field Description) and makes UPnP message converter. So it will be base to standardize supporting variable legacy device.

홈 네트워크에서 인터넷 정보가전을 제어하고 관리하는 미들웨어는 홈 네트워크 내에서만 액세스가 가능하고 외부에서 접근하기가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 홈 네트워크 내에서는 UPnP 미들웨어를 사용하고 광역 액세스망에서는 SIP를 이용하여 접근하는 방식을 제안한다. 즉, 홈 게이트웨이에 SIP와 UPnP를 연결시켜주는 가교역할의 브리지(bridge)를 설계하여 인터넷이나 PSTN과 같은 광역 액세스망에서 댁내 정보가전을 제어하고 관리하는 방법을 제안한다.
