Abstract
The present invention provides a method and system for peer-to-peer device management, monitor and control. Communication devices connected by communication networks can manage, monitor and control each other; they can be in both managing-monitoring-controlling and managed-monitored-controlled roles. That is, a device A can manage, monitor and control a device B, and the device B can manage, monitor and control the device A. In one aspect, communication devices can send request messages comprising management, monitor and control commands to peers and receive response messages comprising results and statuses to the request messages from peers, and vice versa. In another aspect, communication devices can send notification messages to peers for management, monitor and control when their monitored contents or states meet predefined criteria, and vice versa.
