Method for providing UPNP service, gateway device, storage medium and program product

A method for providing universal plug-and-play (UPNP) service using a gateway device, the method comprising:

• acquiring a device list that comprises preset device type information related to the preset device type identifying terminal devices on the device list requiring a universal plug-and-play (UPNP) service;
• acquiring terminal device information of a terminal device based on the terminal device connecting to the gateway device on a local area network (LAN), the terminal device initially configured to only communicate on the LAN, and comparing the terminal device information with the preset device type information;
• determining that the terminal device information matches the preset device type information;
• and
• based on the determination, providing the UPNP service to the terminal device for communication with external devices outside of the LAN.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having an instruction stored therein, when executed by a processor, the instruction causing the processor to execute operations including the following:

• acquiring a device list comprising preset device type information related to a preset device type identifying terminal devices on the device list requiring a universal plug-and-play (UPNP) service;
• acquiring terminal device information of a terminal device based on the terminal device connecting to a gateway device on a local area network (LAN), the terminal device initially configured to only communicate on the LAN, and comparing the terminal device information with the preset device type information;
• determining that the terminal device information matches the preset device type information;
• and
• providing the UPNP service to the terminal device for communication with external devices outside of the LAN based on the determination.
