  1. Home Server • Goal:Provide synergy between existing audio/video equipment, PCs and the coming wave of smart connected devices

  2. Home Server functions • Video/Audio recording • Time shifting • Favorite programs • Data storage (managed!) • movies (cinema or home videos) • MP3 files • documents • Digital pictures • Intelligent Agent

  3. Home Server functions • Access from everywhere • In the home on PC, surfboard, display • Over the internet • Always on • FAX, e-mail, telephony functions • Display shows status in living room • Organizer home • Syncing PDA's, phones • Calendar

  4. Home Server Requirements • Fits with existing audio/video installations • N channels Audio/Video Signal in + out • Controls existing legacy installations through IR • Solve (or reduce) cabling problem • Front access to connectors • Interfaces with digital still and video cameras • IEEE 1394B • Flash cards

  5. Home Server requirements • Connects to legacy interfaces: • USB, PCMCA, irDA, IR, IDE • Interfaces to PC via 10/100 Mb Ethernet • Remote controller that can merge all existing remote controllers • Lots of storage space (and management of it) • Silent (must reside in the living room)

  6. Home Server, hardware Front view, closed IR transmitter (points upwards) to control existing equipment Removable display, touch sensitive, full color allows video. (Alarms, volume, pictures etc) Video Calendar Music Agenda Home Display IR receiver for normal remote controller irDA receiver for PCs, PDAs and cameras Lid. Is open at the bottom to allow cable access from front (e.g. a video camera) SmartCard/Flash card for digital cameras

  7. Home Server, hardware front view Front view, lid open Display will offer help while connecting devices in local language. Gets info from the internet so it can adapt to new devices coming in the market Ethernet 10/100 Mb auto polarity detection PCMCIA (Bluetooth, Hyperlan, 802.11) Cable gutters going to back Ethernet connector. This connector needs a UTP-5 cable to your computer with a maximum length of 50 meters. There is currently no connection. Cover, can slide forward all the way to allow easy access to cable gutters Back Analog audio/video in/out USB FireWire (IEEE 1394B) Firewire sticks. Extend functionality over Firewire bus like extra audio/video channels, cable/satellite receiver, modems, networks, … (standard does not exist yet)

  8. Home Server, hardware top view Top view, open C a b l e G u t t e r Logic board Power supply IDE Drive bay 1+2 IDE Drive bay 3+4 Connection area (open) ample space front

  9. Home Server, software architecture All services are written as OSGi bundles with optional Native code to access system resources Bundle Bundle Bundle Bundle Bundle Java VM with OSGi Basic Linux kernel Very thin Linux kernel with only core device drivers. Device drivers will be delivered as bundles Hardware

  10. Home Server system software • Fully OSGi compliant • Leverage OSGi efforts • Might utilize native code for performance • Also system software delivered as bundles • Network services • DHCPD, DNS, firewalling • Web server with DAV • Microsoft file sharing • NFS

  11. Home Server system software • Audio/Video Management • IEEE 1394B channel management • Display management • Discovery services • UPnP, Jini, Bluetooth • Bridging • Services centered around InfoBase
