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 the devices to connect
seamlessly and to simplify the implementation of the networks at home and in the
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 connected to seamlessly to enable
the consumers to enjoy the digital life conveniently.
