Abstract

The home networking becomes more interesting if users can share high quality contents with friends and colleagues living away from the user. DLNA certified devices allow users to share or access digital media contents on the same home network. However, the sharing of the content is only limited inside local area networks. In this paper, we propose a global content sharing home gateway named DAS (DLNA Agent for SNS). Different from exiting approaches using VPN, DAS enables to share specified contents to selected users with support of access control functionality provided by Social Network web services. As DAS behaves as a DLNA certified server, there is no need to modify commercial DLNA CE devices.
