The DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) invites qualified professionals to participate in an open industry web conference about the interaction between media-sharing and smart home services. The web conference is scheduled for September 21, 2016 at 07:00-8:30 PDT (16:00-17:30 central European time zone; September 22 at 23:00 Tokyo time zone)
Objective
Smart home services and media-sharing are primarily separate systems in the home that may be linked through shared physical networks, home gateways, and/or cloud infrastructure. Increasing overlap is likely. DLNA is interested to determine any required enhancements of the DLNA guidelines to support smart home requirements. The web conference on September 21 will discuss:
- Services that involve both smart home and media-sharing
- Technical approaches to integrating smart home and media services
- Shared user interface for smart home and media services
- Evolution of technical standards and certifications to support these interactions
Service Examples
The following are service examples involving both smart home and media-sharing:
- A home automation system, connected home gym equipment, or home security service, uses a smart TV as user interface and control
- A connected doorbell or video camera stores media to a personal media server
- An entertainment system interacts with home automation equipment to control the room ambiance when a movie is played
Technical approaches
A variety of approaches are possible
- Bridge or translation approaches between media-sharing and smart home
- Integration of media-sharing within smart home ecosystems
- Application level approaches
- And more
