Nowadays: Important role of multimedia. Home entertainment is one of the biggest market. 1st framework for the Ambient Intelligence (AmI) era services bloom. Introduction @ Home Most of Multimedia Services Consumed IntroductionEnvironmentKey FactorsScenarios
4
Conclusions Transforming Services… Environment Digital era Kick-off. (90’s) Broadcasted audiovisual contents Streamed (IP) services Stored contents (DVD, BluRay, etc.) Interactive Services (MHP) Innovative AmI Services Static Business Model STB controlled by content & service providers Evolution needed (2008) …Trajectory… IntroductionEnvironmentKey FactorsScenarios
5
Conclusions Controlled by service providers, NOT by the users. Environment Specific equipment to access each service NOT Flexible!! Service consumption only where receivers are placed. IntroductionEnvironmentKey FactorsScenarios
6
Conclusions Progressive and scalable home infrastructure that will Allow users to: ▫ Incorporate new bouquet of services ▫ WITHOUT huge investment (end user) ▫ Infrastructure available for incoming services User must assume the infrastructure’s cost!! ▫ Technology adoption slow-down. Key Factors IntroductionEnvironmentKey FactorsScenarios
7
Conclusions Important milestone: Consume services wherever the user is placed in the extended-home Bidirectional TV1 TV2 PC Others Lift TV1 Storage Bidirectional Interactivity & Control DVB MPEG IP Remote Control Home Interface Home Interface Descentralized services. Condominium services bloom More Flexibility New locations – New Applications Important DRM related aspects Key Factors Descentralized consumption (different location). IntroductionEnvironmentKey FactorsScenarios
8
Conclusions Aligned with European challenges: NEM, emobility Covered by the support of industrial partners Intelligent Multimedia Home Next step towards a heterogeneous scenario User Centric environment New opportunities and Challenges High scientific-technological capacity Home networking expertise 2 Key Scenarios Follow-me e-Health Outcome: Transformation IMOH Project Key Factors IntroductionEnvironmentKey FactorsScenarios

Conclusions Protocol Convergence: IP Networks IEEE-1394 Industrial Ethernet … Physical media convergence: UTP Cable Fiber Optics Coax PLC (Powerline) UWB (Ultra Wide Band) WiFi … No-new-Wires + ICT Key Factors IntroductionEnvironmentKey FactorsScenarios Warning: Lost Opportunity!! Standalone devices. No inter-device connectivity
10
Conclusions Access Network Complementary Wireless Network Multimedia Network Access Control Data Network Home Backbone: heterogeneous & no-new-wires Domotic Services Key Factors IntroductionEnvironmentKey FactorsScenarios
11
Home Architecture: Bridging Techonologies QoS No-New-Wires Upper OSI layers: Services discovery DRM Ubiquitous User-Centric Conclusions Key Factors IntroductionEnvironmentKey FactorsScenarios
12
Conclusions Scenario (a): Follow-me Convergence of Location Mechanisms Convergence of Protocols Convergence of Physical media Ubiquitous User friendly User Centric services (Follow-me TV). IntroductionEnvironmentKey FactorsScenarios
13
Conclusions Scenario (b): e-Health IntroductionEnvironmentKey FactorsScenarios
14
Conclusions QoS over Heterogeneous & User Centric Extended-Home Network. Robust + DRM High Capillarity (Wired & Wireless) Easy technological adoptión without user’s huge investment. Importance of localization methods. User centric New opportunities and Challenges e-Society based on disposed network infrastructure: oe-Health oe-Administration oe-gobernment oe-Learning Reduce the social “Digital Gap” Sustainable development of the XXI century’s society.
