Disclosed in the disclosure are a rights control method and an apparatus for Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA). An address/rights recoding unit is expanded at a DLNA apparatus side to record what addresses and corresponding rights; a service control program is expanded at the DLNA apparatus side, and when another DLNA apparatus requires the present DLNA apparatus to provide a service, the address of said another DLNA apparatus and the address/rights recording unit are compared and the rights is found out. Only users with a Media Access Control (MAC) address set as allowed to have related service can be allowed to use the service of the DLNA apparatus of the technology and to obtain Extensible Markup Language (XML) files of the apparatus and the service description. The service of DLNA service points can be flexibly arranged so as to enable different access users to obtain different rights, thus well guaranteeing the security of the multimedia data and the flexibility of the multimedia service management. The security, privacy and manageability of the DLNA apparatus are ensured. |
