Ubiquitous aware computing for building smart home in ambient intelligence

This paper presents the design and analysis of a conceptual framework with specific knowledge database based software Agent for supporting context aware home net. The context aware computing implements all of resources connected in the residential home in Ambient Intelligence, including storage, computing, communication and knowledge resources. Ultimately, sharing resource and cooperating with job in the virtual home network. Users are surrounded by intelligent intuitive interfaces that are embedded in all kinds of objects and an environment that is capable of recognizing and responding to the presence of different individuals in a seamless, unobtrusive and often invisible way. The design principle of the aware home network is simple and smart: it only adds two major software entities to a seamless mobile/fixed communication infrastructure: smart agent and Context Active Knowledge Base (CAKB) which contains user's physical, social, and psychological environment information. The CAKB can be distributed among different servers, User's environment data is sensed by the smart multimedia terminals and stored in the CAKB. Up on a request, the smart agent searches in the CAKB, analyzes and presents its user's context information to the request. The multimedia terminal is smart card driven., Functions of the multimedia terminal including eyeglass-base display, headphone, wearable keyboard and radio devices are distributed around body where they are most convenient for the user and the devices communicate with each other through a HNAml (Home Net in Ambient Intelligence).
