Providing of SoT collaboration system for interworking with smart home devices

Abstract

Recently, various smart devices are interconnected within the home network environment and such smart home support collaborations between those devices based on the Web of Things (WoT). The evolving concept of the WoT in the smart home network not only provide a simply control by users either within or outside of the home, but requires to support ubiquitous accessibility and sharing resources. Current smart home users are expanding their activities simply from one's dwelling environment to the social network and such phenomenon requires a new way of approaches to support Web of Things available. In the conventional smart home environment, the interoperability issues including UPnP and DLNA and the media sharing were mainly focused regarding the approaches for accessing heterogeneous home devices. The recent changes and requirements are based on the collaboration services based on the social network information for searching and interoperating various objects. The paper introduce a concept and applications of “Social web of Things” (SoT) for supporting device to device collaborative services based on the social relationship information of users for controlling and sharing the web based objects in the home network environment.
