Abstract:
A method, a gateway, an auto-configuration server, and a system for managing devices in batches are provided. The method includes: creating a batch management group according to a batch management group creation rule and device information in a network; receiving a batch management command sent by an auto-configuration server for devices in the batch management group; determining a device that needs to be managed in the batch management group according to the batch management command; converting the batch management command into a command supported by the device that needs to be managed; and sending the command supported by the device that needs to be managed to the device that needs to be managed. The method implements batch management of devices in a network covered by a gateway.
Abstract:
A method for processing a media resource playlist in a local area network, where the local area network includes a media server and a media renderer, includes: updating a stored playlist and a stored playlist element table when determining that a state of the media server changes; and sending the updated playlist to the media renderer. In addition, a playlist processing apparatus and a communication system are provided correspondingly.
Abstract:
A media playback processing and control method, apparatus, and system, where the processing method includes receiving, by a central server, a query request of a control device, returning a query response to the control device according to a resource information table, receiving a resource request of a selected display device selected by the control device, querying the resource information table, determining that a selected media resource corresponding to information about a selected storage path is stored on a first media server (MS), and determining a second MS with a conversion capability to convert a media format of the selected media resource into a media format supported by a playback capability of the selected display device in order to enable the selected display device to play a media resource converted by the second MS from the selected media resource.

Abstract:
A media resource playback method, including aggregating, by an aggregate server, media resource information of media servers in a local area network and sleep state information of a media server in sleep state, and generating a media resource directory according to the media resource information or according to both the media resource information and the sleep state information; receiving a browse or search request sent by a control point, and returning content in the media resource directory to the control point; determining, by the aggregate server according to the sleep state information, that a media server storing a to-be-played media resource is in sleep state; and waking up the media server, so that a media playback device acquires the to-be-played media resource from the media server and plays the to-be-played media resource.
Abstract:
A media playback processing and control method, apparatus, and system, where the processing method includes receiving, by a central server, a query request of a control device, returning a query response to the control device according to a resource information table, receiving a resource request of a selected display device selected by the control device, querying the resource information table, determining that a selected media resource corresponding to information about a selected storage path is stored on a first media server (MS), and determining a second MS with a conversion capability to convert a media format of the selected media resource into a media format supported by a playback capability of the selected display device in order to enable the selected display device to play a media resource converted by the second MS from the selected media resource.

Abstract:
A media resource access control method and device, where the method includes: receiving, by a universal plug and play (UPnP) media server, a media resource identifier sent by a control point and acquiring preset verification information corresponding to the media resource identifier; receiving a media resource acquisition request sent by a UPnP media player, where the media resource acquisition request contains to-be-verified information; and verifying the to-be-verified information by using the preset verification information, and if the verification is passed, sending a media resource corresponding to the media resource identifier to the UPnP media player.
Abstract:
A control device and a computer program product configured to complete the functions of determining that a task needs to be executed, where the task is a task to distribute the media content to a media play apparatus, acquiring device information of the multiple media distribution devices, selecting an available media distribution device from the multiple media distribution devices according to the device information, where the available media distribution device may be configured to process the media content such that the media content has an adaptive media stream format suitable for the media play device, and assigning, when there are multiple available media distribution devices, at least one segment of the media content to each of the available media distribution devices such that the multiple available media distribution devices jointly process the media content.
