Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a method for providing a content list in a DLNA-based home network system.
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) standardization has been ongoing until recently to establish guidelines that must be followed for interoperability between various devices in the home / office and to verify compliance with the guidelines. DLNA enables interoperability among various devices such as digital AV devices or personal computers connected to a home network, so that content such as music, moving pictures, and still images can be shared among various devices in the home network.
DLNA certified devices in the home network are compatible with each other through wired and wireless networks. In other words, DLNA is based on UpnP (Universal Plug and Play), which enables digital devices such as home appliances, PCs, and wireless devices of different manufacturers to be connected to each other via wired and wireless home networks to share content.
Based on the characteristics of the DLNA, the contents can be shared between DLNA authentication terminals. In order to search contents stored in one or more DLNA authentication terminals having a storage area, a text-based query is transmitted, and contents similar to the query word are searched in each terminal, and the corresponding contents are shared between DLNA-certified devices through the home network. Done.
Such DLNA-based content sharing technology is applicable only to content that does not have a DRM, and restricts playback of a terminal that does not include a corresponding DRM license for content having a DRM. Here, Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a comprehensive digital content protection technology that prevents illegal copying and use of digital content and allows only authorized users to use the digital content.
However, in DLNA, a digital media server (DMP) provides a list of contents and metadata to a digital media player (DMP). The DMP is denied access to content that does not have the relevant DRM rights.
In the past, DMS provides the entire list of contents held by DMS to DMP. Accordingly, the user sees the entire contents list including contents without permission through DMP. There is a problem that can be an advantage. In addition, since the DMP user cannot know which of the contents shown in the entire contents list provided by the DMS is denied access, it is inconvenient to use the contents.
Accordingly, a first object of the present invention is to provide a method capable of providing a restricted content list in a digital media server of a DLNA-based home network system.
It is a second object of the present invention to provide a digital media server of a DLNA-based home network system capable of providing a limited list of contents.
It is a third object of the present invention to provide a digital media player for receiving a restricted content list from a digital media server of a DLNA-based home network system.
A method of providing a restricted content list in a home network system including a digital media server and at least one digital media player according to an aspect of the present invention for achieving the first object, wherein the digital media server is the digital media player. And performing a device authentication procedure; and if the digital media server fails to authenticate the device for the digital media player, a restricted content list including contents that can be played in the digital media player among contents held by the digital media server. Transmitting to the digital media player.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of providing a restricted content list in a home network system including a digital media server, at least one digital media renderer, and a digital media controller. Performing a device authentication procedure with the digital media controller; and if the digital media server fails to authenticate the device with the digital media controller, the digital media server includes contents that can be played in the digital media renderer among contents held by the digital media server. Sending the restricted content list to the digital media controller.
A digital media server used in a digital living network alliance (DLNA) based home network system according to an aspect of the present invention for achieving the second object includes an authentication processor configured to perform a device authentication procedure with a digital media player; If the device authentication fails for the media player includes a content list generator for generating a limited content list consisting of the contents that can be played in the digital media player and transmits to the digital media player.
A digital media player used in a digital living network alliance (DLNA) based home network system according to an aspect of the present invention for achieving the third object, generates identification information in response to an authentication information request message provided from a digital media server. An identification information generation unit and an authentication processing unit configured to provide the identification information to the digital media server to perform a device authentication procedure with the digital media server, wherein the digital media player is configured to perform the device authentication failure. Receives from the digital media server a limited content list of contents held by the digital media server that can be played in the digital media player.
According to the embodiments of the present invention, only a limited list of contents may be provided to the user so that the DMP can be reproduced only for the recorded broadcasting contents allowed by the operator.
In addition, by providing a limited list of contents to the user, compared to the existing full list of contents, it is possible to prevent the user from viewing contents without permission. You can block.

As described above, according to the present invention, when requesting a connection from a DMP to a DMS, for example, a content request, the DMS provides only a list of contents stored in the DMS to the DMPs that have been mutually authenticated so that they can be reproduced in the DMP. In addition, the DMS provides a limited list of contents stored in the DMS to the DMPs not mutually authenticated, thereby restricting the contents played in the DMP. Some of the contents B and E excluded from FIG. 4 (b) are contents that are not to be played without content corresponding to illegal copying or use rights, for example, viewing rights among contents recorded by a user while watching TV. You must have this to be the content you see.

According to the present invention having such a configuration, only a limited list of contents can be provided to the user so that the DMP can be reproduced only for the recorded broadcast contents allowed by the operator. In addition, by providing a limited list of contents to the user, compared to the existing full list of contents, it is possible to prevent the user from viewing contents without permission. You can block.
In the above description, only a case of transmitting a content list from a digital media server (DMS) to a digital media player (DMP) has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the present invention is not limited thereto. The same may be applied to the case of transmitting a content list to a digital media controller (DMC).
When the content list is transmitted from the DMS to the DMC for playback in the Digital Media Renderer (DMR), a device authentication procedure is performed between the DMS and the DMC. The content list is provided from the DMS to the DMC, and the DMC is one of the delivered lists. Select content to play in DMR. DMR plays only the role of playback, so there is no device authentication.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention as defined by the following claims It can be understood that
