Remotely sited execution of a software application within a network

摘要

A method of controlling an execution of a software application. The method includes, within a control device designed for driving at least one multimedia contents restitution device: a step of obtaining, from an execution device configured to trigger an execution of the software application, first connection data to be used by a restitution device to establish a first communication link across a network with the execution device and receiving, during the execution, via the first communication link a multimedia stream resulting from the execution; a step of transmitting to the restitution device parameters for restitution of a multimedia content comprising the first connection data; and a step of dispatching to the restitution device a command for restitution of the multimedia content, intended for triggering a restitution by the restitution device of the multimedia stream.

1. A method comprising:
controlling an execution of a software application by a Digital Media Controller (DMC) device designed for driving at least one multimedia contents Digital Media Renderer (DMR), wherein controlling comprises: a step of the DMC device obtaining, from a contents server, indexing data of said software application as multimedia contents, said indexing data comprising a first content location address to be used by an execution device to obtain a software module designed for execution of said software application, wherein the execution device is configured to activate the execution of said software application; a step of the DMC device obtaining, from said execution device, first connection data to be used by a rendering device to set up a first communications link through a network with the execution device and to receive, during said execution, through said first communications link, a multimedia stream resulting from said execution; a step of the DMC device transmitting, to said rendering device, parameters for rendering a multimedia content comprising said first connection data; a step of the DMC device sending, to said rendering device, a command for rendering said multimedia content, said command being configured to activate rendering by said rendering device of said multimedia stream; a step of receiving, from said execution device, second connection data to be used by said rendering device to set up a second communications link through a network with the execution device and to transmit, through said second communications link, at least one command to be executed by said software application and representing at least one action performed by a user by a peripheral of the rendering device; a step or modifying the indexing data of said software application by integrating therein said second connection data; and a step of transmitting modified indexing data to said rendering device.
