device

A device is a container of other services or devices. A device can contain other logical devices.

device control object

A device control object is the central point of management for a device's service objects. When a device is registered, its device control object is passed to the device host.

device description

A device description is a list of the generic properties of all the devices in a physical device, including the services, the device's hierarchy, and its properties.

device host

The device host handles the discovery, description, control, and eventing portions of a device's functionality. Devices contain the code to handle the device-specific functionality, such as rewinding a VCR.

device provider

A device provider is an entity that is registered with the device host. This device provider is not published on the network. However, the device provider registers other devices and publishes them on the network.

device type

A standard device type is denoted by urn:schemas-upnp-org:device: followed by a unique name assigned by the UPnP Forum.

There is a one-to-one relationship between UPnP-based device templates and device types. UPnP vendors might specify additional device types; these are denoted by urn:domain-name:device: followed by a unique name assigned by the vendor, where domain-name is a domain name registered to the vendor.
