Implementation of RVU Client for Android-Based Devices

This paper describes an implementation of RVU client on Android based devices. RVU represents a protocol based on client-server architecture and uses UPnP and DLNA to establish communication and share content. The key benefit of RVU is the user interface (RUI) implementation, an approach that enables content service providers to deliver consistent user interface to all RVU client devices in a "Connected House" domain, significantly improving quality of service. RVU introduces concept of "thin client" which only renders content and handles user inputs, while all CPU intensive work is done on a server side.
