NetFront™ Living Connect
|
DLNA Solution for
Multimedia Home Networks |
 |
Along with the popularization of networked intelligent home appliances, the importance of the network within a home environment is beginning to be recognized. Digital living, where digital content can be enjoyed "Anytime and Anywhere," is rapidly becoming a reality. To serve this emerging market, ACCESS has developed "NetFront Living Connect," a comprehensive solution that is compliant with the newly updated DLNA Network Device Interoperability Guidelines expanded on March 2006.
NetFront Living Connect: Enabling Digital Living
NetFront Living Connect supports functions such as controlling, uploading, downloading, printing, as well as server and player functions for various appliances including mobile phones, digital TVs, digital cameras, HDD recorders, printers and more. NetFront Living Connect is a comprehensive DLNA solution that looks ahead to the emergence of the multi-media networked world. NetFront Living Connect was developed specifically for embedded devices and leverages ACCESS' experience in home appliance Internet technologies. NetFront Living Connect's portability allows it to function with any OS or CPU while its flexible modularity allows for easy customization. In the future, NetFront Living Connect will evolve into a more powerful total solution when integrated with other ACCESS technologies like NetFront™ Browser or NetFront™ DTV Profile, etc.

The Advantage | NetFront Living Connect
Optimized for Embedded Information Appliances
NetFront Living Connect was designed from its initial
planning stage as an optimal solution for resource-limited
embedded environments. Its high portability, which allows
it to function with any OS or CPU, also means that it can be
seamlessly embedded into a wide variety of devices.
Linking with ACCESS Technology
By integrating with ACCESS' NetFront Browser (which
includes support for Ajax and RSS) or TCP/IP etc., NetFront
Living Connect can be provided as a total solution.
Flexible Modular Structure
NetFront Living Connect's porting layer is peer (Target Adaptation Module) and is adaptable to a wide variety of hardware and OS
environments. NetFront Living Connect includes a UI Library that enables development of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) on any
window system. NetFront Living Connect's DLNA device class is modular for each function, which means that only the necessary
device class has to be mounted.
Available OS : ITRON, LINUX®, Windows Mobile 5 for Pocket PC and Smartphone Edition, BREW®, Symbian etc.

DLNA Player Image
Operate TVs with infrared remote control. Retrieve content compiled in
terminals that have storage functions, such as PCs, HDD recorders, digital
cameras, etc.
DLNA Upload/Download Image
Upload pictures and/or movies etc. taken with mobile phones and/or digital cameras
onto a terminal that has storage functionality, such as a home HDD recorder.
Also, download content compiled in an HDD recorder onto mobile phones, digital
cameras, or portable music players, and take your content with you.
DLNA Controller Image
Obtain a content list compiled in terminals that have storage functionality, such as HDD
recorders, or mobile phones or other mobile devices that support Wi-Fi or Bluetooth®
technologies. Selected content can then be displayed on other devices like TVs.
DLNA Print Image
Display image content compiled in HDD recorders and/or digital cameras,
etc. on TVs and print directly from the TV.
NetFront Living Connect SDK
NetFront™ Living Connect SDK (NFLC SDK) is a software development kit that facilitates porting to targeted devices, including
modules required for porting such as sample code, DLNA Core, sample GUI* (Linux/GTK) as well as documents within a single
package makes porting, customization and testing easier.
*The display layout (VGA) of sample GUI is envisioned for set-top boxes and TVs.
