Method for monitoring consumption of energy of terminal of e.g. computer in local area network in telecommunication field, involves managing request for finding terminal place in standby state, and requesting modification of standby state

摘要

The method involves obtaining (E11) a description of a terminal (3) before reaching a standby state (E3), and managing a request for finding (E22) a place of the terminal in the standby state. A notification is emitted (E13) on a local area network. A Universal plug and play (UPnP) message is received and analyzed (E14) by a control device. A control point is responded (E15) with information that is retrieved from a deadened UPnP terminal. A modification of the terminal standby state is requested (E17). Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a control device (2) a domestic gateway (3) a computer program comprising a set of instructions for performing a method for monitoring consumption of energy of a terminal in a local area network.
