All control points perform the following tasks:
- Find available UPnP devices on the network. For more
information, see
Device
Location.
- Determine which of these devices are of interest. For more
information, see
Device
Description.
- Issue control requests to the devices of interest and receive
events generated by the devices. For more information, see
Device
Control.
An application must first find available UPnP devices on the network by performing a search. Because the search criteria defined by UPnP is broad, the application may find more devices than needed. Therefore, the application must examine the characteristics of the devices it found to determine which ones most closely match the search criteria. The application can then issue control requests to those devices.
