Problems solved by technology

As interoperability between consumer devices increases (e.g. through media and file sharing), managing numerous remote controllers becomes more cumbersome and complex
[0005] Therefore, there remains the problem of providing intuitive and user-friendly user device interaction in a local network environment, such as a DLNA network, with the goal of inter-device communication not only within the local network environment, but also across external network environments, such as the Internet. Advanced interoperability such as media and file sharing for

Abstract

An electronic device (100) is connected to a media aggregating node (101), the media aggregating node (101) publishes media items from an external network media provider, and the electronic device (100) is arranged for, by indicating an action, selecting The media rendering unit (104) included in the local network environment is also used to select media items. The electronic device (100) sends information related to the media rendering unit and the media item selected by the user to the media aggregating node, and the media aggregating node then forwards the information to the local network via the gateway (103), so that on the media rendering unit selected by the user Renders the media selected by the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to methods for electronic devices and media aggregating nodes of selecting media rendering units included in a local network environment, and electronic devices and media aggregating nodes. Background technique [0002] Interoperability between devices in the home environment is steadily increasing. The goals of interoperability are to facilitate media and content sharing and to improve communication between interoperable devices. One example of standardized interoperability between devices in a home environment is the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA). DLNA is a standard defined by an industry consortium and aims to allow home entertainment devices to share content with each other over a home network without complicated configuration procedures. DLNA aims to alleviate the problems inherent in sharing digital media between different consumer electronic devices. For example, a DLNA compliant TV will be abl...
