About UPnP and DLNA
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of computer network protocols
promulgated by the UPnP Forum. The purpose of UPnP is to allow devices to
connect seamlessly and to simplify the implementation of networks at home and
in corporate environment. UPnP achieves this by defining and publishing UPnP
device control protocols built upon open, Internet-based communication
standards.
The term UPnP is gleaned from Plug-and-play, a technology for dynamically
attaching devices to a computer directly.
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is an alliance of a number of consumer
electronics, mobile and personal computer manufacturers. Its aim is to establish
a home network in which the electronic devices from all companies are
compatible with each other under an open standard. The alliance also tries to
promote the idea of digital home by establishing DLNA certification standard. All
DLNA certified products connected to the home network can be accessed
seamlessly to enable consumers to enjoy digital life conveniently.
