Abstract

In this paper, we describe a middleware component supporting flexible user interaction for networked home appliances, which is a simple mechanism to fill the gap between traditional user interface systems and advanced user interaction devices. Our system enables us to control appliances in a uniform way at any places, and the system allows us to select suitable input and output devices according to our preferences and situations. Our system has based on the stateless thin-client system, and translates input and output interaction events according to user interaction devices. We also show the effectiveness of our approach in our home computing systems.
