ABSTRACT:
A method for operating networks of devices (d) wherein said networks are formed by a plurality of domains (D), wherein each of said domains (D) is formed by one or by a plurality of sub-networks (n) of devices (d), wherein each device (d) is assigned to at least one authorized domain (AD) of said domains (D) by assigning and/or carrying/storing in each case at least one type of authorized domain identifier (ADI) to/by said respective device (d), wherein each type of authorized domain identifier (ADI) is descriptive and/or characteristic for said authorized domain (AD) and its type as well as for a membership of said respective device (d) to said respective domain (D), and wherein an access to, the provision of, and/or a transmission of data with respect to audio/video content by each device (d) is in each case ruled on the basis of the respective assigned and/or carried/storied authorized domain identifiers (ADI).
