Personal home server: enabling personalized and seamless ubiquitous computing environments

We propose a personal home server that makes it possible to coordinate various home appliances. Since each person has a different personal home server, it allows us to personalize how to use the appliances according to his preference. Also, our personal home server can discover and configure various appliances at any places, such as railroad stations, cars, and streets as well as houses in a seamless way. We show the design and implementation of a personal home server, and discuss the current design and future work.
