Method of Communicating Between Multiple Digital Living Network Alliance Networks

摘要

A method of extending a network utilizing the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) protocol includes providing a first DLNA network being a local area network (LAN) conforming to the DLNA protocol and a second DLNA network being a LAN conforming to the DLNA protocol. Communication is established between the first DLNA network and the second DLNA network, the first DLNA network and the second DLNA network communicating with each other over a wide area network (WAN). Multimedia content is then output from a digital media server (DMS) of the first DLNA network to a digital media renderer (DMR) or a digital media player (DMP) of the second DLNA network.
