ePerSpace global innovation idea
Integrate those technologies to show users a clear path to networking their digital home
Key requirements: provide services at home easy to handle and at low cost
with sufficient data rates and end-to-end QoS for streaming applications (A/V)
personalised (depending of user preference, context,…)
with seamless login
with integration of personal devices (eg: mobile phone) in the home
Able to be used from a remote location
IST project ePerSpace N°506775 5
ePerSpace objectives
Increase the user acceptance of networked multimedia systems and applications
Develop innovative interoperable value-added networked services: Personalisation data exchange Services Context adaptation Management of service platforms
Create a mass-market adoption of such advanced services
IST project ePerSpace N°506775 6
Work areas
ePerSpace objectives will be realised through 4 major work areas:Home Platform
Global Network Integration & Interoperability
Home and Personal Devices
Rich Media Object Management
IST project ePerSpace N°506775 7
Home platform
Deploy an open architectureAnalyse cooperation between
platforms•Deliver multiple services including multimedia services through one management server ensuring administration
Work on different access networks•Provide A/V services to home with adequate data rate and QoS
IST project ePerSpace N°506775 8
Global Interoperability Network
Provide secure and personalised servicesPermit update and distribution of user
preferences among terminals, home platform and operator support system
Provide new authentication and authorisation mechanisms for seamless login (mobile phone SIM, smartcard,..)
Allow provision of multimedia services while on the move (elsewhere environment)
IST project ePerSpace N°506775 9
Home and personal devices
Create an ad-hoc network with available devices Build a network of devices that allow
device discovery, services discovery and continuity to the elsewhere environment
Develop device APIs to create a dynamic community of devices with communications between devices
Implement services in the Residential Gateway allowing users to handle and share their digital content
IST project ePerSpace N°506775 10
Rich Media Object Management
Adapt services and content depending on user context and preferencesAllow to access or receive content
governed by personal preferencesPermit content adaptation and delivery of
services depending of user context
