    摘要: Described is a transmission system (10) comprising a gateway (14) for interconnecting first and second networks (12, 16). The gateway (14) comprises first and second quality of service translation means (20, 24) and interconnection means (22) for interconnecting the first and second quality of service translation means (20, 24). The first quality of service translation means (20) are arranged for receiving input data (19) having an associated input quality of service from the first network (12) and for translating the input data (19) into interconnection data (21) having an associated interconnection quality of service. The first quality of service translation means (20) are further arranged for supplying the interconnection data (21) to the interconnection means (22). The interconnection means (22) are arranged for receiving the interconnection data (21) from the first quality of service translation means (20) and for supplying the interconnection data (21) to the second quality of service translation means (24). The second quality of service translation means (24) are arranged for receiving the interconnection data (21) from the interconnection means (22) and for translating the interconnection data (21) into output data (23) having an associated output quality of service. The second quality of service translation means (24) are further arranged for supplying the output data (23) to the second network (16). The gateway (14) is characterized in that the interconnection data (21) further comprise information representative of the input quality of service and in that the second quality of service translation means (24) are arranged for translating the interconnection data (21) into the output data (23) in dependence on the information. By incorporating this information the second quality of service translation means (24) can efficiently map the interconnection data onto the output data.

    摘要: A method of controlling content rendering to one or more content rendering devices (22, 24, 26, 28) associated with a consumer environment (12) includes receiving an initial content reference from within the consumer environment. Zero or more equivalent content references associated with the initial content reference are identified. A preferred equivalent content reference associated with the consumer environment is selected from the initial content reference and the equivalent content references. A content instance described by the preferred equivalent content reference is rendered on a first content rendering device. The method may also include selecting a preferred content rendering device associated with the consumer environment. The preferred content rendering device is compatible with the preferred equivalent content reference. A content instance described by the preferred equivalent content reference is then rendered to the preferred content rendering device. In another embodiment, a consumer environment (12) includes: a consumer network (14), a receiver (18), a content equivalency server (20), one or more content rendering devices (22, 24, 26, 28), and a controller (16).

    摘要: A method for selecting an application to deliver content in a networked consumer environment (12) is based on multiple factors. Generally, application selection is based on factors associated with a desired content to be communicated and/or rendered, a desired location and certain capabilities and conditions of applications and consumer electronic (CE) devices in a network (18). In various embodiments, the method is based on any combination of equivalent content, content type, sink resource, content source, preference, and resource availability factors. In another aspect of the invention, a consumer environment for multi-factor application selection includes a network with various combination of sink resources (22), source resources (24), processing resources (26, 30), and external communication resources (28, 32). The network (18) may also include mobile devices (34).
