Method and apparatus for storing and restoring state information of remote user interface
First Claim
1. A method of allowing a client, which receives a remote user interface from a server, to request state information of the remote user interface to be saved, the method comprising:
- obtaining state information of the remote user interface, which is generated when the remote user interface is used, by using an object which processes a predetermined request without reloading the remote user interface; and
requesting that the obtained state information be stored.

Abstract
Provided are an apparatus and method of restoring a remote user interface (RUI) in a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) environment. In the apparatus and method, an RUI client requests an external storage server to store the state information of the RUI by using a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) object processing a HTTP request without reloading a web page, and restores the original state of the RUI by using the stored state information. Accordingly, it is possible to apply a method of storing and restoring state information of a remote user interface, in a UPnP environment, to a HTTP-based remote protocol model having stateless characteristics which do not allow state information of a remote user interface to be stored.

12. An apparatus for allowing a client, which uses a remote user interface provided from a server, to request storage of state information of the remote user interface, the apparatus comprising:
-
a remote user interface control point module which obtains information regarding a storage server which provides storage for storing the state information; and
a web browser module requesting the storage server to store the state information by using an object which processes a predetermined request without reloading the remote user interface, based on the information regarding the storage server obtained by the remote user interface control point module. - View Dependent Claims (13)
