碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 資訊工程學系碩博士班 === 97 === With the population of network usage, it is possible to connect home appliances with each other. Recently, many of home networking solutions are proposed, like UPnP, DLNA, OSGi, HAVi. Among these protocols, UPnP is the most popular, the characteristic of plug-and-play make people easy to use digital appliance. Although the home networking solutions are already refined, the digital appliance also not spread, the reason is nothing more than cost and user usage. How to make digital appliance cost down and easy to use, this is we want to solve. So we proposed a low-cost system can bridge legacy appliance with UPnP network, and then the legacy appliance will transfer to digital appliance. In addition, if manufactures want to make their appliance following UPnP standard, they must spend a lot of time to learn the new technology. To reduce the requirements for entering, we provide a toolkit, code generator which can simplify the develop process. The developer just only needs to know basic knowledge of UPnP technology. The solution we proposed have characteristic of low-cost, it will be accepted by consumers more easily. And the system’s capability and extensibility are above the general level.
