“…Various works have been previously carried out to identify DLNA operation issues and to improve device interoperability. In order to improve DLNA interoperability, [5] presents a scheme to dynamically match capabilities of content sinks and sources based on media formats. The scheme proposes the use of transcoders located in external networks such as Internet when a match is not locally found.…”

The propagation of smart devices and the rapid expansion of wireless mobile networks have increased the need for ubiquitous device connectivity and contents access. DLNA is currently being used as the de facto standard for connectivity of consumer devices in the digital home. The guidelines provided by DLNA are intended to facilitate device and contents discovery, management, sharing and distribution. However, consumer experience with DLNA has been rather poor and usability not up to speed. Different problems and issues in limited compatibility have been reported due to manufacturer customizations. Such compatibility issues are often difficult to identify by average consumers who are not savvy in information communications and multimedia technology. In this paper, the design and implementation of a DLNA protocol inspection tool is presented for compatibility analysis among DLNA certified devices. The tool monitors the home network and performs analysis of the underlying protocols used by DLNA. The tool can be used for diagnostics and troubleshooting, enabling the user to identify compatibility issues between devices or problems in the network.

Recent advances in home networking devices and the increase in users connected to the internet, has allowed "home automation" to gain more attention. Home automation is the process of accessing and controlling home devices from remote locations across the Internet. Today, modern technology has reached a point in which computing devices are common in every facet of our life. We encounter numerous electronic devices within the home and office environment, as well as in public spaces such as shopping centres and airports. Computer technology and networking surround us wherever we are. We routinely use computer-based devices in our daily lives ranging from home appliances such as TVs, PCs, and Audio/Video devices to office appliances such as PDAs, and printers. All of these devices are physically located in different locations. Whilst networking has increased the opportunity to transfer data between devices, the process often remains intricate and unintuitive requiring careful configuration. In this paper we propose an architecture for accessing and controlling networked appliances in this way. We present a scenario to demonstrate our architecture showing how it can help in arranging daily home visit jobs such as engineer visits, receiving postal deliveries and so on, enabling the user to communicate with an engineer or postman while they are away from home.
