Abstract
The present invention discloses a gateway for controlling Wakeup-on-LAN and/or Sleep-on-LAN through the Internet. The gateway comprises a first port for establishing a P2P (point-to-point) connection to the Internet, and a second port for coupling to a Local-Area-Network (LAN) that supports Wakeup-on-LAN and/or Sleep-on-LAN, wherein the gateway collects identifications and addresses of terminal devices in the Local-Area-Network (LAN) for associating the identification codes and the addresses of the terminal devices, so that the gateway can wake up and/or sleep the terminal devices according to messages carrying the identification codes of the terminal devices on the P2P connection. In addition, the gateway can be associated with a UID (Unique identification Code) that is registered in a server, so that a remote device can send a request containing the UID of the gateway to the server to establish a P2P connection between the gateway and the remote device for waking up and/or sleeping the terminal devices in the LAN.
