Patent number: 8667152Abstract: An enhanced content sharing framework, in which a presence table indexing content globally stored on a respective home network, and policy information identifying users who are authorized to access the respective home network are received from first and second home network manager devices that respectively manage first and second home networks that each comprises one or more content rendering devices and content storing devices. A message is received from a user requesting that particular content be provided from the first home network to a particular content rendering device or content storing device of the second home network. Based on the presence table of the first home network, it is determined that the particular content is stored on the first home network, and, based on the policy information of the first home network, it is determined that the user is authorized to access the particular content on the first home network.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2009Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Accenture Global Services LimitedInventors: Giuseppe Capuozzo, Marco Borghini
