A selective event message receiving method is provided, in which an application is installed in a controlled device (CD) by using a network, a start message which includes a parameter specifying at least one service included in the application and requests a start of the application is transmitted to the CD, and an event message that represents a state change of the at least one service specified by the parameter is received from the CD. Accordingly, the application can be efficiently managed by selectively recognizing state changes of some services of interest from among the services included in the application.

Method of receiving/transmitting event message, controlled device, and control point

Provided are a method and apparatus for managing resources of a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) device based on a connection status of a control point. The method of managing resources of a controlled device includes: monitoring an invocation of an action representing a connection of a control point for a predetermined time; determining whether the control point is connected to the controlled device or not by considering whether the monitored action is invoked or not; and increasing available resources by selectively deactivating an application which is controlled by the control point according to the determination result. Accordingly, the resources of the UPnP device can be effectively managed.

Method and apparatus for managing resources of a universal plug and play device based on a connection status of a control point

Provided is a method, medium and apparatus for providing a dynamically changed universal plug and play (UPnP) description. The method includes sensing a change of a service configuration of a device complying with a predetermined standard, updating a description including information about a service based on the change of the service configuration, and advertising that the description is updated. Thus, the service configuration is matched with the description and a control point can correctly control the device whose service configuration is changed.
