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

12 Thank You! Ulhas Warrier (Intel) – former co-chair of Gateway WC Vic Lortz (Intel) – former chair of Security WC Andrew Donoho (IBM) – former co-chair of EEDS WC Rich Geasey (Lantronix) – former chair of Member Relations Committee

13 Device Control Protocols Published DCPs  Internet Gateway  Media Server / Media Renderer  Printer  Scanner  Basic Device  Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning  Wireless Access Point  Device Security / Security Console – November 2003  Lighting – November 2003  Remote I/O – September 2004 Works in progress  Digital Security Camera – Just awaiting sample implementer  Quality of Service – Nearing Completion  Many other home automation specs  More that we’ll hear about today

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

22 It is through your contributions that UPnP™ technology will deliver on its promises and potential.
