Abstract
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for processing multiple inputs from a plurality of users in a home network. A control point requests electronic devices in the home network to transmit input capability information, receives the input capability information as a response to the request from the electronic devices, and performs session setup using the input capability information by determining a receiver for receiving input signals and at least two senders for sending input signals. The control point transmits input signals transmitted by the at least two senders to the receiver.
Claims16
A method for processing multiple inputs from a plurality of users of a home network, the method comprising:
- requesting, by a control point, electronic devices in the home network to transmit input capability information;
- receiving the input capability information from the electronic devices in response to the request;
- performing session setup using the input capability information by determining a receiver for receiving input signals and at least two senders for sending input signals;
- setting, by the receiver, an input signal processing scheme upon receiving input signals from the at least two senders;
- and
- transmitting input signals transmitted by the at least two senders to the receiver.
A method for processing multiple inputs from a plurality of users of a home network, the method comprising:
- receiving a request for input capability information from a control point by an electronic device connected to the home network;
- transmitting the input capability information as a response to the request to the control point;
- performing session setup with at least two senders for sending input signals, wherein the electronic device is set to a receiver for receiving an input signal by the control point;
- receiving, by the receiver, an input signal processing scheme upon receiving input signals from the at least two senders;
- and
- receiving input signals transmitted by the at least two senders.
An apparatus for processing multiple inputs from a plurality of users, the apparatus comprising:
- a receiving part for receiving input signals transmitted by at least two senders;
- a received input processing part for classifying or blocking the input signals of the at least two senders received through the receiving part according to a preset input signal processing scheme;
- and
- a received input transmitting part for processing the input signals and changing the processed input signals to input signals of a receiver,
- wherein an input configuration service controls the receiving part, the received input processing part and the received input transmitting part.
