Method for managing objects in a communication network and implementing device

Abstract

A method for distributed management of a catalogue of objects in a communication network comprising devices. The method comprises the step of registering local objects present in a device in a local registry managed at the level of the device, wherein a local object may formulate a request for a list of objects, and receive a collected response. The request is transmitted to the single local registry of the device hosting the local object and propagated through the local registry to distant registries. The responses are collected by the local registry and the collected response is transmitted to the local object that formulated the initial request. The invention applies in particular within the context of home communication networks.
