Overview

The Home ICT platform provides essential functions for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) services in the home that are adapted to service development and service management. It lets service providers develop Home ICT services rapidly and cost effectively. For this platform architecture, alliances with service providers and device makers are essential in order to extend the platform’s value, so we are also promoting such alliances.

Features

  • Unified control and management for devices in the home from a home gateway
  • Essential functions for development and management of Home ICT services (Communication libraries/interface to devices in the home, device detection/management, etc.)
  • Flexible and dynamic software management using internationally standardized OSGi technology for Home ICT services

Application scenarios

  • Services that use devices in the home (TV, intercom, Web camera, printer, body weight scale, etc.)
  • Services that use devices in the office (personal computer, printer, security device, etc.)
