Abstract:
Providing access to devices via Internet is a growing trend allowing consumers to monitor and control their home appliances, heating, air conditioning and multimedia devices remotely from their tablets or laptops. Increasing number of “anywhere access” applications emerged to provide the users with cutting edge monitoring and control possibilities, including scheduling, event linking or even in-depth behavior scenarios definition. In this paper a device cloud platform architecture and a pilot implementation is presented. The device cloud allows arbitrary web, mobile or PC applications to connect to devices over the internet, to monitor and control their behavior and upgrade their firmware. It is also allowed to compose scripts and define cross-device and cross-event scenarios, which are maintained and executed within the cloud, thus allowing unprecedented level of automation and intelligent control. Main contributions of the presented device cloud are the interoperability with devices based on open technologies (TR-069), dynamic adaptation to device types, dynamic API layer towards user applications, intelligent bandwidth preservation and modular and scalable in-cloud scripting engine.
