Ericsson and Sony have demonstrated that by combining two
open standard technologies they can build a system that enables uses to access
their digital media anywhere, any time.
The two technologies, IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)-based
personalized TV from Ericsson and Sony's home network based on Digital Living
Network Alliance (DLNA) implementation, were put together at GlobalComm in a
joint demonstration that allowed users to wirelessly view digital photos stored
in their mobile phones on a living room TV.
The demo also showed how using a home gateway they could do instant
messaging between mobile phones outside the home and a living room TV.
Finally, in what will ultimately be a killer application for
converged multimedia devices, the two demonstrated how users could access the
content stored on their home PC via their mobile phone.
Claes Ödman, Vice President, Multimedia Solutions, Ericsson, says:
"Ericsson sees this demonstration with Sony as a precursor to a powerful
new world of personalised and interactive TV. This illustrates the potential
for enriched communication services, gained by combining IMS and DLNA
technologies."
Keiji Kimura, Executive Vice President, Officer in charge of Technology
Strategies, Sony Corporation, says: "We are very pleased to have this
opportunity to demonstrate our technological collaboration with Ericsson. This
shows the potential power of combining two crucial open standards, giving rise
to new digital entertainment and communication applications."
The combination of IPTV and DLNA-based technologies offers an integration of
content and communication services, as well as converged services across mobile
terminals and home devices.
