Abstract :
Digital network appliances supporting DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) have been gaining wide acceptance in home networks (HNWs). To enhance the entertainment experiment in the HNW, we propose a collaborative content play method that automatically plays the user-selected content (e.g. music, photo) as main-content and other kinds of content to suit the mood of the main-content as sub-content in the same timing. Moreover, we show the performance evaluation of the proposed method in experimental test bed using multiple digital network appliances supporting DLNA.
