Host terminal to provide device configuration information, a method thereof, and devices to receive configuration information from the host terminal
First Claim
1. A host terminal to communicate with at least one device connected thereto via a communication network in a network system, the host terminal comprising:
- a user interface to generate configuration information that contains set options of functions provided by the at least one device;
a description generating unit to generate a prescribed description file from the generated configuration information; and
a stack unit to transmit the generated description file to the at least one connected device.

Abstract
A host terminal to provide device configuration information, a method thereof, and devices to receive the configuration information from the host terminal. In a host terminal communicating with at least one device connected thereto via a communication network, a user interface generates configuration information containing set options of functions provided by the at least one device, a description generating unit generates a prescribed description file from the generated configuration information, and a first stack unit transmits the generated description file to the connected devices.
