CONTENT TRANSMISSION DEVICE
First Claim
1. A content transmission device coupled to an in-home network, and comprising:
- a device information manager unit that registers and manages the device information received from a content-receiving device and a relay device;
a content provider unit that provides the contents to the content-receiving device; and
a remote access setting management unit that performs settings to send the contents to the content-receiving device coupled to the content transmission device by way of an out-of-home network based on the device information that is registered and managed in the device information manager unit,wherein, the remote access setting management unit;
sets a first coupling information to couple the in-home network and the out-of-home network by a secure communication path, to a relay device containing a remote access server function that relays the in-home network and the out-of-home network communications;
sets a second coupling information to couple by the secure communication path to the content-receiving device containing a remote access client function that acquires the contents and data from the content transmission device coupled to the out-of-home network; and
the content provider unit provides the content by way of the secure communication path when providing the contents to the content-receiving device coupled from the out-of-home network.

Abstract
Devices used in mobile environments are making increasing demands for access to in-home content while commuting or traveling away from home. A content-receiving device that accesses an in-home content transmission device from outside the home: determines a method for establishing secure communication with a router in advance inside the home; executes a first authentication with the content transmission device and registration processing needed during access from outside the home; and registers information relating to the content-receiving device and out-of-home access information with the content transmission device. When utilizing the content-receiving device outside of the home to access the in-home content transmission device, the content transmission device sends content to the content-receiving device only when the content-receiving device is registered with the content transmission device, and only when second authentication is successful using the out-of-home access information therebetween.
