Using Portable-Profile to Support Context-Aware Services in the UPnP Networks

Article Preview

Abstract:

The Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) network provides features for using digital devices easily without configuration. But, there are some issues such as cross network segment and security in the UPnP networks. To solve the problem, many works use an additional proxy server and a recommendation system to provide suitable services. However, the approach requires additional resources and cost and it is difficult to deploy in the digital home. In this work, we propose a new concept which the profile was portable and within user’s personal digital device. The digital device can use the profile and information such as identification, time, location, etc. to find suitable devices and simplify the operation for resource access and increase privacy. Finally, we implement the portable-profile on android phone to achieve the concept.
