System and method for mobile telephone and UPnP control point integration

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, including a computer program product, for using a UPnP control point device to effectuate actions in other UPnP devices within a UPnP environment, comprising computer code configured to:

• detect specific activity, the specific activity comprising at least placing a telephone call;
• determine whether there at least one action to be performed within the UPnP environment in response to the specific activity;
• when there is at least one action to be performed within the UPnP environment in response to the specific activity, use a UPnP control point interface associated with the UPnP control point device to communicate one or more instructions to at least one of the other UPnP devices within the UPnP environment in accordance with the at least one action to be performed, the at least one other UPnP device being included in a register of UPnP devices being controlled by the UPnP control point device;
• and
• add an indication of the one or more instructions to a list of one or more actions communicated to at least one of the UPnP devices included in the register of UPnP devices being controlled by the UPnP control point device.

A UPnP control point device, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory unit communicatively connected to the processor and including computer code configured to:
• detect specific activity, the specific activity comprising at least placing a telephone call;
• determine whether there is at least one action to be performed within the UPnP environment in response to the specific activity;
• when there is at least one action to be performed within the UPnP environment in response to the specific activity, use a UPnP control point interface associated with the UPnP control point device to communicate one or more instructions to at least one of the other UPnP devices within the UPnP environment in accordance with the at least one action to be performed, the at least one other UPnP device being included in a register of UPnP devices being controlled by the UPnP control point device;
• and
• add an indication of the one or more instructions to a list of one or more actions communicated to at least one of the UPnP devices included in the register of UPnP devices being controlled by the UPnP control point device.

A system for automatically altering activities within a UPnP environment, comprising:

• a UPnP control point device configured to:
• detect specific activity, the specific activity comprising at least placing a telephone call,
• determine whether there is an action to be performed within the UPnP environment in response to the specific activity,
• when there is an action to be performed within the UPnP environment in response to the specific activity, use a UPnP control point interface associated with the UPnP control point device to communicate one or more instructions to at least on other UPnP device within the UPnP environment in accordance with the action to be performed, the at least one other UPnP device being included in a register of UPnP devices being controlled by the UPnP control point device;
• add an indication of the one or more instructions to a list of one or more actions communicated to at least one of the UPnP devices included in the register of UPnP devices being controlled by the UPnP control point device;
• and
• the at least one other UPnP device, each configured to:
• receive the one or more instructions from the UPnP control point device,
• determine whether the one or more instructions are applicable to the particular UPnP device and its then-current operation, and
• when the one or more instructions are applicable to the particular UPnP device and its then-current operation, adjusting the operation of the particular device in accordance with the one or more instructions.
