Design and Implementation of an Integrated Home Information and Service System

Abstract

In this paper, we present an integrated Home Information and Service (iHIS) system. The iHIS system consists of the following components: Home Information Server, MBL Gateway, and CC/PP Repository. The system allows us to flexibly access non-integrated home information and services, and to easily control various Information Appliances (IA) at home under various network environments and different client devices. We have implemented our system, which can adapt home service contents to various client devices with user agent profiles under different network environments. Evaluation shows that our system can provide adaptive, personalized home information and services to match network bandwidth and device capabilities.
