STANDARD METHOD-BASED USER-ORIENTED INTEGRATED ARCHITECTURE FOR DISTRIBUTED HOME NETWORK MIDDLEWARES

摘要

A standard function-based user-oriented home network distributive middleware integration structure is provided to use a standard method to enable linking between information appliances, an to enable the linking by making a scenario for a non-standard method, thereby realizing linking flexibility as increasing accuracy of compatible interface selection. An agent manager consistently manages services of heterogeneous devices as enabling the devices to access. A state manager is an object existing in all parts of a system, and generates/manages each state table for each service. An HNMIL(Home Network Middleware for Interoperability Language) analyzer analyzes and executes an HNMIL. If a message indicating that a new information appliance is discovered is sent from an agent to a home network server, a standard method manager sends information indicating that a standard function is a standard method. The standard method manager has to recognize a service defined as a standard.
