Device Description
In order to obtain device objects you must perform one of the following tasks:
- Using the IUPnPDescriptionDocument:IDispatch interface to load a device description from a known location.
- Using the IUPnPDeviceFinder:IDispatch interface to obtain an IUPnPDevices:IDispatch interface to find a device on the network.
Applications then use the IUPnPDevice:IDispatch methods to retrieve properties about devices.
Applications are able to retrieve the following types of information:
- Device hierarchy information, including root devices, parent devices, and child devices.
- Device properties, including UDNs, uniform resource identifiers (URIs), and user-readable names.
- Manufacturer information, including names and related Web pages.
- Model information, including the name, number, UPC, serial numbers and device descriptions.
- Display information, including the URL to control the device, and URLs from which icons are downloaded.
- Services provided by a particular device.
