Adapting Conventional Home Appliances to Home Network Systems Using Web Services

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper presents a framework that adapts the conventional home electric appliances with the infrared remote
controls to the emerging home network system (HNS). The proposed method extensively uses the concept of service-oriented
architecture, which significantly improves the application interoperability among the multi-vendor appliances. We first prepare
APIs that allows an external PC to send infrared signals and control the conventional appliances. We then encapsulate
the low-level APIs achieving a logical feature of the appliance in a single component. Finally, we export the component as
a Web service, which implements a self-contained appliance feature with an open interface. Thus, the proposed method can
significantly facilitate the development of HNS applications with the conventional appliances. We also implement an actual
HNS with multi-vendor appliances to demonstrate the feasibility to the practical applications.
