OBTAINING DISCOVERY INFORMATION, SENDING A REQUEST, RECEIVING PARAMETERS, THEN EXECUTING MULTIMEDIA USING THE PARAMETERS

摘要

Disclosed is a method and arrangement for remotely controlling the communication of media between devices in different local networks (200, 202) using a remote control device (200b). The remote control device (200b) obtains discovery information on a first device (200c) and sends a remote access request over a multimedia service network to a home multimedia gateway (202b) in the opposite local network (202) for a connection to a second device (202c) therein. The home multimedia gateway (202b) then responds with communication parameters established for the second device (202c) in a residential gateway, and the remote control device (200b) can then order the first device (200c) to execute a multimedia session with the second device (202c) by using the communication parameters. This solution enables a remote control device (200b) to visit a local network to order a device in that network to fetch media content from a device in another home network, or vice versa.
