`G06F 15/16
`A system and a method control media rendering in a network
`(2006.01)
`(52) U.S. Cl.
`using a mobile device. The system and the method manage,
`USPC ................... 725/80725/82. 725/91. 725/92;
`control and/or render media in a home network using remote
`725,793: 709/216: 709/231
`access and/or a remote user interface. The system and the
`(58) Field of Classification Search
`method enable a user to control media rendering from mul
`None
`tiple storage devices and/or multiple servers connected to the
`See application file for complete search history
`home network using the mobile device. The system and the
`method enable a user to control media rendering on multiple

`rendering devices connected to the home network using the
`mobile device. The system and the method have a control
`element hosted on a fixed, non-mobile device connected
`directly to the home network or connected to the home net
`work as a stand-alone device.

`SYSTEMAND METHOD FOR
`CONTROLLING MEDARENDERING INA
`NETWORK USING AMOBILE DEVICE
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`The present invention generally relates to a system and a
`method for controlling media rendering in a network using a
`mobile device. More specifically, the present invention
`relates to a system and a method for managing, controlling
`and/or rendering media in a home network using remote
`access and/or a remote user interface. The system and the
`method enable a user to control media rendering from mul
`tiple storage devices and/or multiple servers connected to the
`home network using the mobile device. The system and the
`method enable a user to control media rendering on multiple
`rendering devices connected to the home network using the
`mobile device.
`It is well known for a user to use multiple media servers and
`multiple media rendering devices to consume media objects
`in the home, such as, for example, audio files, video files,
`digital photographs and the like. For example, the media
`objects may be provided by media servers connected to a
`home network. The media objects may be stored on one or
`more of the media servers. The home network may also have
`various media rendering devices connected to the home net
`work, such as, for example, stereos, televisions, personal
`computers, digital photo frames, other devices which have
`multimedia content rendering capability and the like. The
`user may browse the media objects remotely from one or
`more “control points' in the home network and may consume
`a specific media file on any compatible media rendering
`device connected to the home network.
`The ability to organize, browse and consume media is
`enhanced by the availability of connection technologies. Such
`as, for example, Universal Plug and Play (“UPnP)Audio and
`Video (AV) standard and Digital Living Network Alliance
`(“DLNA) standard. These connection technologies allow
`distribution of multimedia content between various storage
`devices and associated media rendering devices in the home
`network. The UPnP AV standard defines a protocol by which
`the media servers and the media rendering devices may be
`connected, controlled and used to process and play the mul
`timedia content. The DLNA standard provides additional
`details and conformance points to ensure that UPnP AV-based
`home networking products properly communicate and work
`together. Products based on the UPnP AV standard and the
`DLNA standard allow consumers to easily access, control,
`and enjoy the multimedia content using a multimedia-en
`abled home network.
`A control point application is an application which controls
`UPnP compatible servers and UPnP compatible rendering
`devices. For example, a control point application may allow
`the user to find and/or browse multimedia content, such as a
`digital video file or a digital audio file, that is available from
`a particular UPnP server. The control point application may
`allow the user to transmit the multimedia content to a particu
`lar UPnP rendering device for consumption.
`Typically, the media servers, the media rendering devices,
`the control points and other devices connected to the home
`network are connected via Ethernet/wired Local Area Net
`work (“LAN”), IEEE 1394 (“FireWire”), IEEE 802.11 (“Wi
`Fi’) or other similar state of the art networking technologies.
`Mobile devices which interact with the home network are
`limited to wireless connection technology; therefore, the
`mobile devices must connect to the home network via a Wi-Fi
`connection. Typically, the home network also has an outside

`connection to the internet to enable personal computers and
`other devices connected to the home network to access out
`side content, such as, for example, web pages, multimedia
`files, other content available on the internet and the like.
`A UPnP AV Control Point may reside on a PC, may be
`coupled with a media server, or may be built into a media
`rendering device. Alternatively, a UPnP AV Control Point
`may be located on a stand-alone device, such as, for example,
`a UPnP “Remote Control device. To add UPnP AV Control
`Point functionality to personal mobile devices, the UPnP AV
`Control Point functionality may reside on a Personal Digital
`Assistant (PDA), a mobile phone, a portable video player, a
`portable gaming device or other mobile device. A standard
`UPnP AV Control Point may be added to any such mobile
`device which is capable of connecting to the home network.
`Thus, the UPnP AV Control Point is capable of communicat
`ing with the UPnP AV capable media servers and UPnP AV
`capable media rendering devices connected to the home net
`work. However, the mobile device must have Wi-Fi connec
`tion capability to connect wirelessly to the home network.
`Therefore, a Wi-Fi connection is a requirement for any
`mobile device which supports standard UPnP AV Control
`Point functionality.
`Typical communication paths used by a standard UPnP AV
`Control Point to control media streamed from a media server
`to a media rendering device connect the media server, the
`media rendering device and the control point. These typical
`communication paths use the home network to connect the
`media server, the media rendering device and the UPnP AV
`Control Point.
`When using a standard UPnP AV Control Point, a control
`point user may browse multimedia
