VIRTUAL AV NETWORK BUILDING DEVICE, VIRTUAL AV NETWORK BUILDING METHOD, AND RECORDED MEDIUM ON WHICH PROGRAM CONCERNING VIRTUAL AV NETWORK BUILDING METHOD IS RECORDED

摘要

An AV network building device A comprises a 1394 link (10) for connecting a transmission line by using an IEEE 1394 standard interface, information transmission/reception means (11), protocol processing means (12), virtual device function processing means (20), integrated management means (30) for starting or stopping the virtual device function processing means (20), an OS (40) for operating a PC (103), and a PC device driver (50) for operating a peripheral device (M). A virtual AV network building method capable of building a virtual AV network having such a structure, and a recorded medium on which a program concerning a method for building a virtual AV network is recorded are also disclosed.
