Abstract
A method and an apparatus for sharing a DLNA device are provided. The method includes: establishing a data channel between a first DLNA gateway in a first DLNA network and a second DLNA gateway in a second DLNA network, wherein the DLNA gateway is a DLNA device having a DMC function and capable of accessing the Internet; adding, in the second DLNA gateway, a virtual DLNA device corresponding to a DLNA device in the first DLNA network; and a DLNA device in the second DLNA network performing remote control and/or remote play for the DLNA device in the first DLNA network through the virtual DLNA device. With the provided schemes, the problem in related technologies that DLNA sharing is only limited in a local range is solved, cross-network remote control and remote play are implemented, a sharing range of the DLNA network is expanded, and the user experience is improved.
