Scope: This device template is compliant with the UPnP Device Architecture, Version 1.0. Basic:1.0 provides a mechanism for products that wish to use UPnP, but for which there is not yet an appropriate standard base device type. The Basic Device type does not define any Services or embedded Devices, although a particular product may incorporate elements defined by other UPnP Standards and/or vendor-defined extension types. A minimal Basic Device (one that does not add any services or embedded devices) is discoverable using UPnP discovery and may provide identifying information and a Presentation URL using the normal Device Description mechanism. The Basic Device type also may be useful as the root device type for a product that incorporates standard elements in ways not anticipated by the standard types. For example, a television that also includes room light controls and a printer might choose to use the Basic Device type as the root type, with embedded devices and services chosen from the appropriate standard types. Note: This definition relies on an Architecture change under consideration in the UPnP Forum Technical Committee: that the definition of the ‘servicelist’ element be changed to include ‘minoccurs=”0”’; that is, that it be made an optional element.
