CONTROLLING NETWORKED MEDIA CAPTURE DEVICE

摘要

Disclosed embodiments allow media players and other electronic devices that operate under a first protocol to control the media capture devices that operate with a second protocol which may not be configurable to communicate with the first protocol. In one embodiment of the disclosure, a network device may store and/or render content within a Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) network and/or assist in content delivery for a DLNA device on a network. In another embodiment of the disclosure, a media capture device uses the Internet Protocol.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving a playback instruction of a first protocol at a media player, and in response to receiving the playback instruction, executing the playback instruction to control media playback at the media player; mapping the playback instruction of the first protocol to a control signal of a second protocol configured to control capturing of unscheduled media from an image capture device communicatively coupled to the media player; and receiving the playback instruction of the first protocol at the media player after mapping the playback instruction, and in response to a detected altered environmental condition, transmitting the control signal of the second protocol to the image capture device to control the capture of unscheduled media from the image capture device.
