Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, apparatus and system for providing device group control including enabling each device of a set of devices to receive a broadcast command, determine if the command applies to the device, and take action if the command applies to the device. In one embodiment of the present invention a unique identifier is determined for each recipient device and the unique identifier for each recipient device for which the communication is intended is included with a broadcast or multicast message. Upon receiving the broadcast or multicast message, each recipient device examines the message for its unique identifier to determine if the communication is intended for the device.

Les modes de réalisation de la présente invention proposent un procédé, un appareil et un système pour fournir une commande de groupe de dispositifs comprenant l'activation de chaque dispositif d'un ensemble de dispositifs pour recevoir une instruction de diffusion, la détermination du fait de savoir si l'instruction s'applique au dispositif et la prise de mesure si l'instruction s'applique au dispositif. Dans un mode de réalisation de la présente invention, un identifiant unique est déterminé pour chaque dispositif destinataire et l'identifiant unique pour chaque dispositif destinataire auquel la communication est destinée est inclus avec un message de diffusion ou de multidiffusion. Lors de la réception du message de diffusion ou de multidiffusion, chaque dispositif destinataire examine le message pour y chercher son identifiant unique afin de déterminer si la communication est destinée au dispositif.
