See full text

According to the present invention a device, also called appliance or streaming appliance, and a method for operating the device is provided. The device is prepared for delivering information through a distributed information system to an external client unit in response to a request from an external server unit. A first interface, e.g., a system administration Web service interface, allows configuring and administering the device and a device control unit facilitates controlling the device, whereby the device control unit is configured to register the device with an external service directory via the first interface. Advantageously, the device only needs to be connected to a respective distributed information system, such as the Internet, and it automatically starts offering its services within such information system.
