過去幾年，許多家庭網路不斷問世，例如乙太網路、紅外線通訊和同軸電纜，越來越多的消費性電子設備透過家庭網路來提供使用者所需要的服務，尤其一些在家庭網路下控制電腦設備與數位家電產品的技術也相繼地推出，例如UPnP、OSGI、HAVI、JINI，也礙於目前家庭網路涉及範圍過於廣泛，尚未出現一個通用的標準，未來在家庭網路中將充斥各種不同類型的資訊家電裝置，且這些裝置各有各自的控制器，許多研究都致力於如何將這些不同協定的裝置串連起來，整合這些協定進而可以控制這些設備，但是大部分的方法都是將透過Web的方式或者是PDA設備來進行控制，所以建構一個跨異質性家庭網路的智慧型環境感知服務，讓使用者不再為了眾多的服務而煩惱便成為了一個重要的議題。在本論文中，我們建構了一個跨異質性家庭網路的智慧型環境感知服務平臺，來解決上述之問題。主要在家庭網路上提供多媒體內容共享服務、家庭通訊服務，以及異質設備控制服務。

In the past few years, many home networks such as Ethernet, IRDA, Cables have emerged continuously. Also, more and more services of consumer electric devices have been supported in these networks. Besides, some techniques that control computer devices and digital home appliances in the home network are launched one and another, such as UPnP, OSGI, HAVI, JINI. Due to the wide range of the current home network, there is still not a universal standard, and thus the future home network will be full of various electronic home and computer devices with individual controllers respectively, For this reason, many researches focus on how to link these devices with varied protocols, integrate these protocols and provide these services to users, but most of them are controlled through Web or PDA individually. Therefore, it is an important issue to support the intelligent context-aware services for heterogeneous home networks to users, and relieve users’ nuisance of numerous services. In this paper, we build the intelligent context-aware services for heterogeneous home networks and underlay the services to solve the above problems. The services include multimedia content sharing services, family intercom services and control services for heterogeneous home devices in home network environments.
