Abstract
Electronic visual display enabled by touchscreen technologies evolves as one of the universal multimedia output methods and a popular input intermediate with touch–interaction. As a result, we can always gain access of an intelligent machine by obtaining control of its display contents. Since remote screen sharing systems are also increasingly prevalent, we propose a cross-platform middleware infrastructure which supports remote monitoring and control functionalities based on remote streaming for networked intelligent devices such as smart phone, computer and smart watch, etc. and home appliances such as smart refrigerator, smart air-conditioner and smart TV, etc. We aim to connect all these devices with display screens, so as to make possible remote monitoring and controlling a certain device by whichever one (usually the nearest one) of display screens among the network. The system is a distributed network consisting of multiple modular nodes of server and client, and is compatible to prevalent operating systems such as Windows, macOS, Unix-like/Linux and Android, etc.
Highlights
As innovation accelerates, we have witnessed a rapid progress on digital presentation of multimedia such as images, text, or video, layered on electronic visual display
Functionalities of intelligent devices and home appliances are prominently augmented with the conjunction of electronic display screens
This paper aims to create a general middleware architecture to connect smart objects by screen remote monitoring and control (Intelligent devices and home appliances are generally denominated as smart objects in this paper.)
Summary
We have witnessed a rapid progress on digital presentation of multimedia such as images, text, or video, layered on electronic visual display. Functionalities of intelligent devices and home appliances are prominently augmented with the conjunction of electronic display screens. Electronic visual display has unquestionably turned into one of the most prevailing and accepted ways to interact with the processing systems of intelligent devices. We can only control them directly from the input widgets connected to the device and watch them directly from the output screen. Hanging around these devices and home appliances is laborious and irritating. Innovative and fresh concepts of screen modalities are strikingly emerging: the research of Ambient Wall, a smart wall display interface that can be controlled by simple gestures for smart homes [9], and technologies of a Smart Interactive Mirror [10]. The serial automation would bring about tremendous enhancement to our daily lives
