Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a first data transceiver coupled to a first local network;
a second data transceiver to transmit data to and receive data from an Internet connection; and
a UPnP mirroring agent comprising;
logic to communicate with a second local network via the Internet connection, the second local network comprising at least one remote UPnP entity; and
logic to emulate a presence of the at least one remote UPnP entity on a first network to enable one or more UPnP entities coupled to the first local network to communicate with the emulated UPnP entity according to a local address associated with the emulated UPnP entity.

Abstract
Described are a first local network comprising one or more Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) entities and a second local network comprising at least one remote UPnP entity. A presence of the remote UPnP entity on the first local network may be emulated or “mirrored” to enable UPnP entities in the first local network to communicate with the remote UPnP entity using an address defined locally on the first local network.
