The specifications as submitted and approved in the JTC 1 process are posted on the UPnP Forum web site at http://www.upnp.org/resources/internationalstandards.asp. The ballot for this PAS submission was recently approved by the JTC 1 national bodies, and we are in the process of preparing the documents for publication. ( h6 B& l" l8 _& k: u5 i8 H* |' V! a0 L

: `3 }0 Z7 [8 R, FAs part of the ISO/IEC publication process, those who hold patent claims necessary to implement any of these specifications are requested to submit statements to ISO/IEC declaring their intentions with regard to licensing necessary IP to implementers of the ISO/IEC version of these specifications, including implementers who might not be members of the UPnP Forum. Such disclosures are separate and independent from any disclosures that may have been made as part of UPnP Forum processes. In particular, participants in UPnP Forum processes who contributed their own necessary IP are not required to make patent licensing disclosures as part of the Forum process, but such contributors should make declarations as part of the ISO/IEC publication process. ; T% W$ s P1 E1 N - V! d$ U# ]. ^7 U# O 9 @9 m% s# n! {

The following is a "code of practice" regarding patents covering, in varying degrees, the subject matters of ITU T Recommendations, ITU-R Recommendations, ISO deliverables and IEC deliverables (for the purpose of this document, ITU-T and ITU-R Recommendations are referred to as “Recommendations”, ISO deliverables and IEC deliverables are referred to as “Deliverables”). The rules of the "code of practice" are simple and straightforward. Recommendations | Deliverables are drawn up by technical and not patent experts; thus, they may not necessarily be very familiar with the complex international legal situation of intellectual property rights such as patents, etc. ( y, }0 I* B% h- v+ v' b6 Y0 ?) ~" H3 l6 D5 e1 C1 {. u' h/ i. a* k

Recommendations | Deliverables are non-binding; their objective is to ensure compatibility of technologies and systems on a worldwide basis. To meet this objective, which is in the common interests of all those participating, it must be ensured that Recommendations | Deliverables, their applications, use, etc. are accessible to everybody.!

To meet this requirement in general is the sole objective of the code of practice. The detailed arrangements arising from patents (licensing, royalties, etc.) are left to the parties concerned, as these arrangements might differ from case to case.% y0 W- I3 V1 ~0 N8 f

1 The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Bureau (TSB), the ITU Radiocommunication Bureau (BR) and the offices of the CEOs of ISO and IEC are not in a position to give authoritative or comprehensive information about evidence, validity or scope of patents or similar rights, but it is desirable that the fullest available information should be disclosed. Therefore, any party participating in the work of ITU, ISO or IEC should, from the outset, draw the attention of the Director of ITU-TSB, the Director of ITU-BR, or the offices of the CEOs of ISO or IEC, respectively, to any known patent or to any known pending patent application, either their own or of other organizations, although ITU, ISO or IEC are unable to verify the validity of any such information.; k! l- R8 d/ W1 ^* m! |. ]$ l; L- H

3 Whatever case applies (2.1, 2.2 or 2.3), the patent holder has to provide a written statement to be filed at ITU-TSB, ITU-BR or the offices of the CEOs of ISO or IEC, respectively, using the appropriate "Patent Statement and Licensing Declaration" form. This statement must not include additional provisions, conditions, or any other exclusion clauses in excess of what is provided for each case in the corresponding boxes of the form.作者: chip123 時間: 2009-3-16 11:06 AM 標題: UPnP規範被指定為IP-based的網路設備互通性國際標準 (20090316 10:12:24)美國商業資訊奧勒岡州比弗頓消息—— 目的在為來自不同廠商的消費電子設備、智慧家電、電腦和行動裝置提供簡單、穩定連接的UPnP論壇今天宣佈，UPnP™技術已獲得國際標準化組織（ISO）和國際電機技術委員會（IEC）的全球認可。2008年12月，ISO和IEC發佈了國際標準版本的UPnP裝置架構和裝置協定。這項世界上首個IP網路裝置互通性國際標準成果鞏固了UPnP架構作為聯網裝置探索和控制領先技術的地位。 " n3 m) |% k0 ?+ y# z.

IEC負責技術協調的主管Gabriel Barta表示：「作為電氣、電子及相關產品國際標準的主要發佈者，IEC對ISO/IEC 29341系列標準的公佈感到特別滿意。該系列標準代表著家庭和類似環境中的裝置控制向前邁出了一大步，這些裝置中有許多已經在IEC中實現了標準化。」* S3 K; a! c% t8 g

UpnP技術在全球的採用已經成為去年已認證UPnP實作空前成長的基礎，並強調該產業繼續因應目前市場對各種網路裝置共同基準的互通性需求。UpnP技術見證了2008年認證的破紀錄數量的新UPnP實作。這一成長顯示出全球正加速採用UPnP規範作為IP-based的網路中裝置互通性的標準。 l* S5 r2 o+ g* B& T 4 O$ O6 y# U1 J2 `- oUPnP論壇主席Alan Messer表示：「UPnP論壇的規範已經成為全球IP-based的家庭網路中裝置互通性的國際標準。採用UPnP規範作為ISO/IEC 29341標準證實了這一地位，並使UPnP的規範更廣泛地用於國際社會。」 , }" i( S {, Z T

在此動能的基礎上，UPnP論壇還宣佈推出UPnP裝置架構1.1版本（UDA 1.1），它是用於定義控制器或控制點與裝置間通訊協定的架構元素的顯著增強版。UDA 1.1完全向後相容UDA 1.0，並增加了一些擴充，其中包括：作者: chip123 時間: 2009-3-16 11:07 AM

UPnP論壇還完成了幾項新的規範，包括影音（AV）和服務品質（QoS）裝置控制協定和服務的更新。最新的QoS服務說明（QoS:3）首次介紹了參數化的QoS。QosDevice負責提供對應的網路資源，以傳遞QosManager所需的裝置狀態資料流程和資訊。這使得QoS:3能方便頻寬預留，從而透過支援預留的網路（包括MoCA和HomePlug）產生明顯流暢的視訊品質。作者: chip123 時間: 2009-3-16 11:07 AM
2009年，UPnP論壇將繼續增強並促進採用其規範。重點之一是繼續裝置管理協定的工作，該協定有助於彌補服務供應商和寬頻網路解決方案之間的差距，為家庭中的使用者裝置提供端對端的裝置管理。該小組還將進行電話裝置協定的工作，以增強行動電話和消費電子設備（如電視）之間的融合。讓使用者從遠端控制裝置（如行動裝置程式設計或家庭數位錄影機）的遠端存取協定預計2009年初發佈。2 X; A2 H1 u2 B- }
