Abstract

This paper describes the design and implementation of architecture for convergence of home network services and data broadcasting services based on UMB and ACAP middleware; the one is used for interoperability of home networked devices, and the other for data broadcasting services. The proposed architecture provides TV-centric user interface capable of managing home network services and data broadcasting services together using a remote controller and TV sets TV applying Java TV Xlet interface and HAVi user interface for home network services like data broadcasting services. Besides, we define the service proxy for accessing home network services in a set-top box and the service broker for providing data related to home network services in a home server. Finally, the application manager in ACAP middleware manages the lifecycle of home network services through service events from the service proxy to the application manager.

본 논문에서는 홈네트워크 기기의 상호 운용성을 제공하는 UMB와 데이터방송 서비스를 지원하는 ACAP 미들웨어를 기반으로 홈네트워크 서비스와 방송 서비스의 상호 운영을 위한 컨버전스 구조를 제시한다. 제안된 구조는 데이터방송 서비스처럼 홈네트워크 서비스에 대하여 Java TV Xlet 인터페이스와 HAVi 사용자 인터페이스를 적용하여 구성함으로써 리모콘과 TV 수상기를 통하여 홈네트워크와 데이터방송 서비스를 함께 제어할 수 있는 TV 중심의 사용자 인터페이스를 제공한다. 또한, 셋톱박스에서 홈네트워크 서비스를 접근하기 위한 서비스 프락시와 홈서버에서 서비스 관련 데이터를 제공하는 서비스 브로커를 정의하고, ACAP 미들웨어의 애플리케이션 매니저는 서비스 프락시에서 애플리케이션 매니저로의 서비스 이벤트를 통하여 홈네트워크 서비스에 대한 라이프사이클을 관리한다.
