METHODS, DEVICES, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR REMOTELY CONTROLLING OPERATIONS OF DIGITAL MEDIA DEVICES USING A MOBILE TERMINAL

摘要

A method of controlling operations of a plurality of digital media devices on a network that are configured to communicate using a first communications protocol includes establishing a wireless connection between a mobile terminal and a digital media control point device. The digital media control point device is configured to communicate with the plurality of digital media devices via the network using the first communications protocol. A command to control an operation of at least one of the plurality of digital media devices is transmitted from the mobile terminal and is received at the digital media control point device via the wireless connection using a second communications protocol that is different from the first communications protocol. The received command is correlated to a corresponding command in accordance with the first communications protocol, and is transmitted to the at least one of the plurality of digital media devices via the network using the first communications protocol. Data from the at least one of the plurality of digital media devices is received at the digital media control point device via the network using the first communications protocol, and at least a portion of the data is transmitted to the mobile terminal via the wireless connection using the second communications protocol. Related devices and computer program products are also discussed.
