CEA CEA-2014-A ERTA Document Information:
Title
Web-based Protocol and Framework for Remote User Interface on UPnP (TM) Networks and the Internet (Web4CE)
Consumer Electronics Association
Publication Date:
Aug 28, 2008
Scope:
This standard defines the necessary mechanisms to allow a user
interface to be remotely displayed on and controlled by devices or
control points other than the one hosting the logic. The basic
device operations are based on the UPnP Device Architecture v1.0
for UPnP networks and UPnP devices in the home. The standard also
allows the remote display of user interfaces provided by third
party internet services on UPnP devices in the home, and covers a
wide range of UI capabilities for TVs, mobile phones and portable
devices. This standard attempts to specify solutions that are
identical to the relevant parts of CEA-2027-A A User Interface
for Home Networks Using Web-based Protocols in the common
areas not specific to the underlying network, to enable the two
standards to be similar to the fullest extent reasonable.
This standard includes mechanisms intended to enable flow of
content that might be under the control of a content protection
system, such as a Digital Rights Management (DRM) system. In such
cases certain capabilities defined by this standard may depend on
proper, parallel implementation of the appropriate content
protection system. Specification of content protection and any
interaction between elements of this standard and any content
protection system is beyond the scope of this standard.
Purpose
The CEA-2014 protocol provides a structured way of accessing
consumer electronics friendly XHTML (and related) content over an
IP network.
The main goals of CEA-2014 are based on the following
principles:
Provide a mechanism that allows remote presentation and control
of user interfaces directed to consumer devices.
Handle remote UI content that may reside either:
• On UPnP UI server devices
• On Internet-based services
Use existing web standards for UI content (e.g. XHTML)
• Define extensions only when necessary
Support a variety of different consumer client devices
• STBs, TVs, mobile phones
Allow for dynamic interaction between Remote UI Clients and
Servers
• Provide timely, partial UI updates from a Remote UI
Server
Allow clients to receive important UI notifications from server
devices at any time (if permitted by the user)
Allow for A/V functionality to be part of the UI experience
Note that server devices that support CEA-2014 can also expose
their functionality through other means in addition to Remote UI
(such as through UPnP DCPs).
