Abstract
A gateway communicates with at least one terminal device and a database server. When the terminal device is connected to the gateway, device identification (ID) of the terminal device is acquired to download a device description frame (DDF) file of the terminal device from the database server. Then, detailed information of the terminal device is displayed on a user interface according to the DDF file. When a command is sent using the user interface, the commands is received and transmitted to the terminal device, to control the terminal device to perform a corresponding function.
