Abstract:
1. A user interface conversion system comprising a processor which comprises a gateway wherein an integrated user interface is generated based on neutral user interfaces of devices residing on a home network and converted into a specific user interface suitable for a specific client of a user, wherein the gateway requests a control device to transmit a neutral user interface selected by the user from the integrated user interface, said user selecting said neutral user interface corresponding to a device which the user desires to control among the devices residing on the home network, wherein the control device transmits the selected neutral user interface to the gateway, wherein the gateway converts the transmitted neutral user interface into a device specific user interface which is suitable for the specific client of the user, wherein the user controls operation of the device using the device specific user interface, and wherein the gateway comprises: an integrated user interface generator for generating the integrated user interface based on the information on the devices stored in the device database; and a user interface conversion unit for converting the integrated user interface generated from the integrated user interface generator into the specific user interface suitable for the specific client of the user.
