| Once linked all devices in the home should be manageable. Control may be based on a protocol like UPnP. |
|
| media |
| Stored in the home media vault, a unified collection of the owner's audio-visual media stored in an immediately accessible form. Likely to take the form of a ultra-high capacity hard disk and/or DVD changer. In theory accessible from outside the home via a broadband land-line or UMTS connection. |
