The diagram shows a "URC" (Universal Remote Console) which is connected to a "Target (Device/Service)" through a "Target-URC Network," and "Optional Gateway(s)". The URC is also connected through the "Resource-URC Network" to two resource clusters which are shown as clouds at the top of the diagram. The resource clouds are labeled "SUPPLEMENTAL UIIDs" and "SUPPLEMENTAL RESOURCES (Standard or Proprietary)".

The "TARGET" is in the center of the diagram. It is made up of a red box representing the part of the Target that is exposed to the URC, and a box "TARGET FUNCTIONALITY" (Functionality of the Device or Service). There is a double-sided arrow between the red box and the "TARGET FUNCTIONATLITY", indicating data and control flow between them.

Inside the red box there is (from bottom to top):

•  "TARGET-URC NETWORK LINK(S) incl. DISCOVERY AND SESSION MANAGEMENT", for example "Bluetooth + Java/Jini", "Firewire + Java/Jini", "Firewire + Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)", "Homenet + UPnP", "Ethernet + UPnP".

•  "TARGET PROPERTIES SHEET"

•  "PORTAL 1" ... "PORTAL N": Portals are aligned in a row, indicating that a Target can provide any number of Portals (but at least one). Each Portal is made up of:

•  "SOCKET"

•  "SOCKET DESCRIPTION"

•  "UIIDs, PRESENTATION TEMPLATES "

•  "RESOURCES: Labels, Keywords, Help, AccessKeys"

The URC is made up of (from bottom to top):

•  "TARGET-URC NETWORK LINK(S) incl. DISCOVERY AND SESSION MANAGEMENT", connecting to the "TARGET-URC NETWORK LINK(S)" of the Target side.

•  An "INTERFACE GENERATOR" that feeds into the "USER INTERFACE" that may include "VISUAL", "AUDITORY" and "TACTILE" presentation mechanisms.

The resource cloud "UIIDs" provides two kinds of UIIDs to the URC:

• Non-AIAP-URC resources:

•  "PROPRIETARY UIIDS"

•  "AD HOC FORMAT UIIDS"

• "AIAP-URC STANDARD UIIDS"

•  "SUPPLEMENTAL PRESENTATION TEMPLATES"

The resource cloud "SUPPLEMENTAL RESOURCES (Standard or Proprietary) provides two kinds of resources to the URC:

•  Non-AIAP-URC standard resources:

•  "METADATA BASES"

•  "TRANSLATORS (language, symbol, etc.)"

•  "DICTIONARIES (symbol sets, etc.)"

•  "OTHER"

•  "AIAP-URC STANDARD FORMAT RESOURCES"

•  "SUPPLEMENTAL LABELS"

•  "SUPPLEMENTAL KEYWORDS"

•  "SUPPLEMENTAL HELP"

•  "SUPPLEMENTAL ACCESS KEYS"
