為DIY 使用者設計的家庭自動化平台

Abstract

「為DIY使用者設計的家庭自動化平台」，這是我所研究的主題。不同的電子產品間往往有不同的廠商規格，彼此難以合作，但是本實驗室已完成的MHAP(MOM-based Home Automation Platform)，則可以讓使用不同標準的產品間順暢地溝通。根據這樣良好的基礎，我希望能發展一套服務訂做系統，幫助使用者可以自由又快速的訂製想要的家庭或是辦公環境的自動化服務。透過建立一個服務的庫藏，利用服務的仲介者(Service Matcher)在了解使用者所擁有的設備環境後，自動產生適當的服務。並可以在設備環境有變化的時候，自動將服務變形成為可以運行的模式。 本研究之成果為一個以家庭裝置環境設定導向的家庭自動化平台設計，稱之為MyHA(My Home Automation)。另透過問卷調查獲得受訪者對於家庭服務和智慧型產品的看法，參考此結果設計一套可供MyHA使用者取用的家庭服務範本。MyHA中各種設定文件皆使用XML的格式，讓MyHA具有可攜性，並且讓使用者間可以交流彼此對家庭服務的想法與設計，以期能進一步促進家庭自動化的發展與普及。

In this thesis I propose a home automation platform, which is design for Home Automation DIY users. As we all know, electronic devices produced by different manufacturers often operate under different specifications, as a result, it is difficult to make then work all together. Therefore, the DCSL has completed the MHAP (MOM-based Home Automation Platform), so that all the devices with different criteria would be able to communicate with one another seamlessly. Based on such a ideal foundation, I decided to develop a decision-making system, so that the users would be able to set up a desired home/office automation service efficiently. In brief, after building up a treasury of services, a special service called the Service Matcher will be able to gather and analyze the information of the user's environment, and provide an ideal service automatically. Further more, the Service Matcher can transform the prior service into a new workable one. The main contribution of this research is design of a device-location oriented home automation platform, which is named as MyHA (My Home Automation.) Before I began to design this platform, I had survey a group of potential users about their opinions toward intelligent devices with my questionnaires. Besides, all the set-up documents of is written in XML format, so that MyHA is perfectly portable. The XML format also makes it possible for different users to exchange their opinion and idea of home automation, and ultimately contribute to the further development of smart homes.
