The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) published ISO/IEC 29341 - Information technology - UPnP Device Architecture, an international standard on the universal plug and play (UPnP) device architecture.
According to the organizations, UPnP allows for seamless connectivity in the home between a variety of devices, computers and operating systems over any type of connection. UPnP technology, supporting zero-configuration and automatic discovery, targets home networks, proximity networks and networks in small businesses and commercial buildings.
ISO/IEC 29341 was developed by the UPnP Forum, which said its goal in preparing this standard was to enable the broadest possible adoption of UPnP technology by industry professionals, consumers and end-users.
ISO/IEC 29341 is broken down in 73 parts that address the various aspects of the technology. Part 1 describes the UPnP device architecture and defines protocols for communication between controllers, or control points, and devices. Part 2 deals with basic device control protocol, providing a mechanism for products that wish to use UPnP but for which there is not yet a standard base device type.
The remaining 71 parts cover device categories including Internet gateways/routers, audio-video media devices, printers, scanners, climate control, lighting and wireless local area network (LAN) access points and digital security cameras, as well as advanced features such as security, remote user interface and quality of service (QOS).
