- the action invocation requests including the key codes and any information on the type of key press, are transmitted by the application 160 and addressed to the "RemoteControl" service 170 and detected in accordance with the intended discovery protocol. in UPnP.
- the "RemoteControl” service 170 Upon receipt of an action invocation request by the "RemoteControl” service 170 and its possible parameters, the latter translates this request into command codes and then transmits these command codes to the processing module 130.
- an application 160 enabling the remote control of several devices to be controlled 105, which application is generic and configurable whatever the device to be controlled 105.
- the application 160 is for example integrated in a UPnP DMC so that the set of UPnP actions including,

- the application 160 displays the list of UPnP devices of the home network
- each device implementing the "RemoteControl” service 170 is identified by a remote control icon. By selecting this icon, the user enters a "remote control" mode of the device 105 in question and screens specific to this remote control are displayed on the screen 155, through the user interface.
- buttons and other interactive graphic elements are configurable. Indeed, the list of buttons and other interactive graphic elements, their layout and the associated key codes are described in an XML configuration file that the DMC controller application 160 obtains during its initialization. This file is either pre-recorded by the DMC application in a predefined file directory, or transmitted by the "RemoteControl" service 170 to the DMC application on receipt of a request defined for this purpose or obtained by means of a URL provided by the RemoteControl service 170.
- each interaction at one of the buttons or other interactive graphic element of the user interface causes one or more key codes to be sent by means of an UPnP action invocation request.
- the configuration file defines the action (s) to be invoked and / or possible action parameters according to the interactions of the user with the user interface associated with the command application.
- the "SendKeyStrokeEvent” action reports a keystroke to the "RemoteControl” 170 service. It includes the following parameters:
- the "RemoteControl” 170 service makes it possible to manage different key press durations ("SINGLE” for a short press, “DOUBLE” for two short presses and “LONG” for a long press) and more events. low level (of type pressing or releasing keys).
- the configuration file therefore specifies the type of interaction to be detected for each graphical element representing a button, especially if the user interface, the module Ul, must perform PUSH / RELEASE management (or press / release) for the button. and, in this case, send the events down level "PUSH” (press) and “RELEASE” (released) via the action "SendKeyStrokeEvent ()".
- this action sends a sequence of key codes to the "RemoteControl” service 170.
- the name of the screen configuration file can be chosen based on properties specified in the UPnP entity description. For example, the "modeIname" property of a UPnP entity is used to retrieve the name of the screen configuration file. For example, if the IName mode of an STB decoder is "TV Decoder", the configuration file is "decoder_tvRemoteConfig.xml".
- the "keyStroke” attribute allows the Ul module to specify that it should handle low-level press / release for that button.
- the attribute "position” makes it possible to specify a position of the button in the screen.
- the screen presents the buttons in the form of a grid and each box of the grid is numbered and associated with a button.

- the description of UPnP includes a URL to access a description of each service provided by that entity.
- a service description provides detailed information about this service, the actions this service provides, the service settings, and its return value.
- the device 105 is detected by UPnP Control Points, in particular by the device 150, which learn the capabilities of the device 105 to obtain its description.
- the discovery phase defines how an UPnP entity announces its presence and how UPnP Control Points discover it by implementing the Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP).
- SSDP Simple Service Discovery Protocol
- This SSDP protocol extends HTTP protocol headers to provide a simple discovery protocol based on a multicast broadcast.
- this UPnP entity is periodically signaling itself on the network.
- This periodic communication as well as the responses during discovery phases include a URL of the XML description document.
- This URL provides UPnP Control Points with the information they will need to retrieve descriptions of this UPnP entity and its services.
- the description documents are found by the UPnP Control Points and scanned, or "parsed", to know the UPnP entity well.
- a vendor can add extensions beyond the basic functions and include them in the description documents. This extension mechanism allows a Point to UPnP control to prefer an optional or vendor-specific interface to a standard interface.
- the device 105 processes the requests that come to it from the UPnP Control Points, in particular from the device 150.
- the UPnP Control Points invoke the actions of a service of a UPnP entity.
- UPnP relies on the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) for controlling a UPnP entity.
- SOAP Simple Object Access Protocol
- This protocol unites XML and http to provide web-based messages and remote call procedure mechanisms: XML expresses the contents of the message while HTTP sends the messages to their destinations.
- SOAP protocol is specified as a set of conventions that govern the format and rules for processing SOAP messages.
- the device 105 During an event processing phase 335, the device 105 notifies the control points that have subscribed to this notification, each modification of its internal state.
- the device 105 provides an administration interface based on HTML code to allow the direct manipulation and monitoring of the device 105.
- Each of the UPnP phases is related to protocols. Note that the device 105 can provide the URL of a presentation page in the description of the device.
- the user interacts with the user interface.
- the user interface detects each interaction of the user with the user interface.
- the application 160 invokes actions, including any parameters, representing said interactions.
- the invocation request is transmitted to the device 105.
- the "RemoteControl" service 170 receives the action invocation request, that is to say receives a UPnP command.
- the "RemoteControl" service 170 interprets this command to generate one or more command codes that it transmits to the command processing module 130.
- the command processing module interprets the command code (s) received, in order to activate the function (s) 135 corresponding to these command codes.
- each UPnP entity can offer a large number of services, each service having its own unique type of service. This is how departments define the real features of this entity.
- a Control Point is a network entity that invokes a feature of a UPnP entity.
- the Control Point is the client and the UPnP entity is the server.
- Control Points invoke actions on services, providing any required input parameters and receiving any output parameters and possibly a return value.
- a Control Point discovers UPnP entities, invokes actions on the services of these UPnP entities and subscribes to event notifications. For its part, a UPnP entity responds to action invocations, sends events when state variables change, and supports a web page for an administrative control, called page ("page layout"). ).
- the UPnP remote gives the potential to design and develop new infrared-based control mechanisms that enrich the UPnP interfaces that these devices already have.
- the UPnP standard has been retained in this description because it is one of the best candidates for compatibility, interoperability and simplicity of development. However, the principles of the invention are also applicable to other standards for remote control of equipment.
- the invention not only the users can control the DMR services of their decoder, but also have a user interface also offering the equivalent of the buttons of the remote control and access to the more advanced functions of the decoder which can thus be fully piloted from any DMC control point that implements the remote control application.
- This remote control application can be implemented in any type of terminal capable of communicating through the network to which the device to be controlled is connected.
- the end user can therefore use his mobile phone or any other communicating device to control all services available on the device to be controlled, which allows to evolve beyond the conventional infrared remote control.
- the present invention allows the complete remote control of a decoder via UPnP, including basic functions such as changing channels, accessing a menu, information, to start a play ("play"), stop playback, change playback range, change colors, move up, down, right or left, etc.
- an application implementing a UPnP "Control Point" which has been configured to also include the UPnP remote control application 160 is able to control the decoder via its associated graphical interface. this application.
- the present invention also brings new functionalities, in particular because of the possibility offered to the user to drive, from one and the same user interface, several devices each integrating a "RemoteControl" service 170: for example, the simultaneous control of a recording device (or "DVR” for "Digital Video Recorder") and a television for a programming of a recording of content or the simultaneous control of two separate TVs, for example, likely to broadcast the same audiovisual program.
- a "RemoteControl” service 170 for example, the simultaneous control of a recording device (or "DVR" for "Digital Video Recorder") and a television for a programming of a recording of content or the simultaneous control of two separate TVs, for example, likely to broadcast the same audiovisual program.
- the remote control application 160 can be used to control all infrared-controllable equipment incorporating a UPnP entity, for example of the "Digital Media Renderer" type.
- the user's experience goes beyond the functionalities allowed at the decoder by the UPnP (Digital Media Renderer) entity integrated therein.
- the UPnP entity of the decoder allows it to be remotely controlled.
- the present invention aims at defining a new service in terms of UPnP in order to allow the total control of the decoder by means of a single remote control application, that is to say the activation of both the functions of the pre-existing UPnP entity and basic functions, the latter being activable until now only by means of a remote control or buttons of the decoder.
- the user will be able to take his mobile phone integrating this application of control, with some consequent modifications to this new service and to be able to control completely all the services audio and video on their television which arrive by the decoder or services musical on a device Hifi.
