A personal context-aware universal remote controller for a smart home environment

Abstract

An architecture for a personal context-based universal remote controller system is proposed. The proposed scheme allows user to apply preferable functions of appliance services to user contexts. We describe a method for handling and adapting user preferences interacting with home server. The result shows graphic user interfaces by adapting UI generation algorithm dynamically. This work is implemented using network enabled PDA in Active Surroundings smart home environments.
