8. CE domain Home automation PC domain Mobile domain Cable or 802.11 Bluetooth Today – Islands of Functionality

9. Tomorrow - Total Connectivity Access Control Firewall Home Gateway Internet Wired backbone For example Ethernet Home Control Personal network For example Bluetooth Home control network For example power-line Wireless infrastructure For example WLAN

10. Devices are traditional PC peripherals PC consumes them for usage but not as programmable devices All discussions are one to one Enable ISVs, and ourselves to write fully connected apps Custom services can easily find and talk to each other Group of devices acts as an entity, not one to one …from This……to This…

11. The Obstacles - What are the challenges?  User benefits – unclear large investments unfeasible  Systems are bought incrementally, why install a full home network?  Each piece has to add value  CE devices have a long production life  Work with current UPnP devices required  Usability – cumbersome, nobody wants to manage the system  Need for seamless interoperability  Need for high user friendliness (easy2use devices, automatic maintenance)  No central server, devices are continually coming in and out scope  Service discovery, security, context…

12.  Downloading copyright protected content  Music, video...  Internet  Communication  Email, chat, voice-IP…  Multi-user gaming  Adaptation of personal content  Photo, video…  Customization  Ring tones, wallpaper… Not in the home Current Services - to the Home

13. What are our goals?  Home network  Use of available context information  Use of different devices  Intelligent and attractive user services  Composition and integration of new devices and services  Create the middleware for distributed applications in the home  Open and interoperable  Integrating resources from CE, PC, mobile and home automation domains  Offering interoperability and key middleware functions (resource discovery, security, …) for usability  Enable apps & services to easily be developed  Application demonstrators

14. How Are We Doing This?  Service Oriented Architecture  Build on existing stacks (UPnP 1.0, 2.0) and work with existing devices (UPnP, DLNA)  Programming framework for home services  Enable developers to discover and access services simply  Enable users and ISVs to deploy and manage services  Security system that works without a central server  Handles different capabilities of devices  Security state is shared between devices on the network  Security and services are ‘up’ even if only some devices are on  Bridge to make this work with existing CE devices

15. Platform Middleware Base Middleware Intelligent User Services Applications Interoperable Middleware Core Legacy application services Service interactionService discoveryQoS support Security & privacy Service composition Content storage & distribution Accounting & billing Mobility management Context MAnagement User modeling and profiling Awareness & notification User interface services Amigo-aware service discovery Service interoperability Content interoperability SystemNetwork Amigo-aware application services (Service modeling and specification) Legacy Services Service Oriented Architecture

16. Security System Security Services (replicated) Light Service Client 1.Light controller starts, discovers a security service and registers 2.Client discovers Light and security services 3.Client requests access to the home and authorization for light controller 4.Client receives ticket to use with light service 5.Client uses light service and provides ticket to get access 1 2, 3, 4 2, 5
