Abstract

This paper presents some industry proposals for the interoperability between devices in home environments and reports our efforts on exploiting the computational aspects related to the offer of ubiquitous services in the context of household environments. It explores the communication ability between the set-top box and other devices of household environments and of personal use through the development of a software module for transparent replication of audiovisual digital TV content, in home networks based on Universal Plug and Play (UPnP™) / Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA). The implementation was carried out on an environment emulating a set-top box according to the Brazilian standard for DTV.
