Method of providing interoperability of heterogeneous network devices and network device using the same
First Claim
1. A method of enabling interoperation between different devices of a network, the method comprising:
- using device information received from a service providing device in the network to determine whether a test code corresponding to a service to be performed can be generated;
generating the test code using the device information if it is determined that the test code can be generated;
transmitting the generated test code to the service providing device;
receiving a result of an execution of the test code from the service providing device; and
using the result of the execution of the test code to determine whether interoperability with the service providing device is possible,wherein, if the result of the execution of the test code is successful, an environment is established with the service providing device that is suitable for interoperation therewith.

Abstract
A method and device of enabling interoperation between different devices over a network are provided. A test code corresponding to a service to be performed using device information received from a service providing device in a network is generated, the test code is transmitted to the service providing device, a result of the test code execution is received from the service providing device, and interoperability with the service providing device is determined with respect to the service by using the result of the execution of the test code. An environment suitable for interoperation with the service providing device is established when interoperation with the service providing device is possible.

9. A network device, comprising:
-
a test code generation unit configured to; use device information received from a service providing device in the network to determine whether a test code corresponding to a service to be performed can be generated; generate the test code using the device information received if it is determined that the test code can be generated; an interoperability determination unit configured to; transmit the generated test code to the service providing device; receive a result of an execution of the test code from the service providing device; and use the result of the execution of the test code to determine whether interoperability with the service providing device is possible; and an environment establishment unit configured to establish an environment with the service providing device that is suitable for interoperation if the result of the execution of the test code is successful. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 24, 25)

18. A computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for enabling interoperation between different devices of a network, the instructions comprising:
-
a first set of instructions configured to use device information received from a service providing device in the network to determine whether a test code corresponding to a service to be performed can be generated; a second set of instructions configured to generate the test code using the device information received if it is determined that the test code can be generated; a third set of instructions configured to transmit the generated test code to the service providing device; a fourth set of instructions configured to receive a result of an execution of the test code from the service providing device; a fifth set of instructions configured to use the result of the execution of the test code to determine whether interoperability with the service providing device is possible; and a sixth set of instructions configured to establish an environment with the service providing device that is suitable for interoperation if the result of the execution of the test code is successful. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 26)
