  1. UPnP™ Forum State of the Union Toby Nixon Steering Committee Chair UPnP Forum

  2. UPnP™ Forum Goals • In an open environment, develop or profile standards for device schemas and protocols based on TCP/IP and XML • Balance protection of member investment in technology with confidence in ability to implement under royalty-free terms • Encourage rapid and broad industry deployment of compliant devices

  14. UPnP™ Implementers Corporation • Almost 40 member companies • Number of certified products more than doubled again since 2003 • Many new AV products • UIC has assumed greater responsibility for marketing, including Forum recruitment and member programs • More from UIC later in the Summit

  15. Industry Momentum • Over one hundred UPnP devices certified to date • Millions of UPnP compliant internet gateways shipped • Hundreds of millions of UPnP enabled personal computers already deployed • More than two dozen UPnP compliant networked audio-video devices demonstrated this month • Bridges demonstrated between UPnP technology and other home automation networks (including Echelon) • Availability of commercial tools for more than a dozen vendors for many OS and embedded platforms

  16. Industry Momentum • Consumer Electronics Association • R7.6 – DENi – published July 2003 • DSL Forum – TR-064 published May 2004 • LAN-side DSL Configuration • References UPnP™ Gateway DCP • Digital Living Network Alliance – Home Networked Device Interoperability Guidelines v1.0 published June 2004 • References and builds on UPnP™ AV DCP • INCITS V2 –American National Standard for Universal Remote Console based on UPnP nearing completion • CableLabs – Now an SC Member – CableHome to reference UPnP™ Gateway and QOS DCPs • And more to come!

  17. Device Architecture v1.0.1 • A single consolidated reference for UPnP™ Device Architecture v1.0 • Incorporate Internet Drafts such as HTTPU, HTTPMU, SSDP, GENA, FXPP, Auto-IP • Incorporate Implementation Guide • Incorporate Technical Committee issue decisions • Usability: Table of contents, Index, etc. • Draft available on UPnP™ Forum web site • Work complete - Adoption pending resolution of IPR Policy issue

  18. Device Architecture v1.1 • Several enhancements to v1.0 • Discovery enhancements to reduce traffic and improve wireless performance • Complex data types via XML Schema support • Clarifies HTTP compliance issues • Requires SOAP 1.1 support, mustUnderstand, actor • Optional IPv6 support (IPv4 mandatory) • Implementations required to be fully interoperable with v1.0 devices at the v1.0 level of functionality • Technical work complete - Adoption pending resolution of IPR Policy issue

  19. IPR Policy Issue • Original Member Agreement didn’t address architectural evolution • 2002 Member Agreement Amendment • Created Architecture Committee • Requires royalty-free licensing of all necessary IP by all AC members regardless of contributor • Concerns regarding control of patent portfolios • Steering Committee and Legal Committee actively negotiating resolution • Potential additional member agreement amendment • Not blocking work on DCPs

  20. Future Architecture Evolution • Architecture was founded on basic Web services technology – HTTP, XML, SOAP • Forum continues to track progress of relevant Web services specifications for possible consideration in the future • No architecture work in progress within the Forum beyond v1.1

  21. Looking Ahead • Enhanced architecture • More DCPs • Development platforms • Many more products in 2004-2005 • Exciting opportunities with Remote I/O and DLNA • Don’t wait – deploy v1 products now! • Long term industry commitment to v1 support
