Physical level (Connectivity)

Wide coverage and deployment: Accessibility to services at different places and through different kinds of devices

Operability among them based on standardization processes

Convergence to unique models

Technologies: Next Generation Networks (NGN)

Wireless Technologies

Liderado por:




Next Generation Networking (NGN):All kind of information and services (e.g., voice, multimedia, data) as packages through a global network

Based on IP (all-IP)

Though just started off, they present: an integrated profile of fixed and mobile networks

the assumption of using package commutation instead of circuit commutation.

Integration and ubiquity => improve disabled people’ access to information

Integration of technologies over a common base

Well defined layered architecture

IMS (Identity Management Systems) enables communication: on several ways

adapted to the particular users' needs.

Liderado por:




IPv6 protocol:Sixth and most recent version of IP (Internet Protocol).

Standardized by IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force)

Features:Wider range of IP addresses

Multicast addressing

Self-configuration

Roaming

Digital Home: Suitable environment for the IPv6. There is the convergence of any kind of device and their access by remote control. Self-configuration needed to make all devices connected.

These characteristics make IPv6 a base technology for the NGN.

They appear to live within the same space of the real world.

Featured by the combination and alignment of virtual and real objects

Interactively and real time run

Not restricted to the visual modality =>all sensorial channels

Disadvantage: technical and ergonomic problems that make it difficult to sell

Digital Home:entertainment and displays in mobile phones

Liderado por:




Embodied Conversational Agent (ECA):Belong to the multimodal interfaces

Offers affective and intellectual human-humanoid interactions

Increasing interest academic, industrial, specially video game market

Future for the Digital Home: provide a more efficient and affective interaction specially for people with difficulties in the computer management

Support technologies:Soften any kind of limitation

Development of accessible software for mobile phones and software for PCs (screen readers, magnifiers, dialing and activation, big and braille keyboard keys,…)

Compact solutions

Easy the way to access to the digital contents because of their flexibility and their personalization capacity

Digital Home: they provide transparency in the use of the technology to the end user.

Security technologies:Biometric solutions most important ones

Identification and authentication of users

Digital Home: applied to get into the house automatically

Recognition of physiological or behavioral characteristics, like the facial thermography, hand palm scan, or keyboard tap.

Liderado por:



Context Aware Middleware Level

Intermediate layer in the infrastructures that develop Ambient Intelligence applications

Incorporates the user's context

Deal with big, complex and heterogeneous distributed systems

New requirements like the capacity to adapt, self-configure and self-manage in changing environments

Digital Home:provides accessibility features:sensors collect context information, this information is interpreted and, as response, operations are sent to the effectors, in order to adapt to the user's needs

Technologies of publish and subscribe services are of great importance, specially UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)

Liderado por:



Service Level

Responsible for the provision of services adapted to the user.

Detect actions, perform, and even anticipate personalized services.

Several AI (Artificial Intelligence):AI identification of actions involves the task of matching them with patterna (Learning and Adaptive Systems)

Multi-agent Systems can be considered as an integration technology that may provide adaptivity, learning, multimodality, distribution and interaction

Cognitive Vision used for biometric recognition, video surveillance and Domotics.

Introduction

Services offered through Internet should be accessible, ubiquitous and interoperableNot the current situation: most interfaces do not take into account users’ needs nor the interaction context

Specific characteristics of the device to request service are also frequently ignored

Negative impact on the accessibility, usability, ubiquity and interoperability of the serviceAdaptation is very helpful to overcome accessibility barriers, with user modelling based on relevant user (skills, preferences, interests, …) and context (task, objetive, …) features to optimize adaptation processFramework: INREDIS project

Liderado por:


Includes all the elements necessary to allow ubiquitous, wireless, seamless interactionAims to provide universal accessibility, interoperability and ubiquity to allow people with disabilities controlling service machines, vending machines, home appliances, …Here we depict the architecture of the Interface Generator module used to produce adaptive interfacesOntologies are used to perform modelling parameters

Liderado por:


Interface Generator - IG

Aim: providing universal access to everyone, regardless used device or accessed serviceOntological model chosen (automated reasoning, dynamic classification, consistence checking, …)Different ontologies designed and others in conceptualization phase

Modular enough to encompass future ontologies

Liderado por:


Ontologies in the INREDIS Framework

Liderado por:


Ontologies population

When ontologies are ready they must be populated with relevant dataImplicit techniques (data mining) and explicit techniques (filling in forms) will be usedUser privacy has to be taken into accountAlso privacy regulations

Liderado por:


Proposed architecture

Diverse modules, each with specific functionalities to perform specific tasks

Highly flexible to enable incorporation of new modules providing new functionalities in the future

Liderado por:


Developed prototype

Focused on generating an adaptive interface that can be accessed through the UCH technologyIt also adapts the content of the user interface to two different types of users according to their capabilities

User type 1 has less visual capacity than user type 2User’s device is a PC and the target device to control is a TV set

Liderado por:


Conclusions

Developed prototype showed the functionality and the validity of each moduleIt also detects inconsistencies and deficiencies of each moduleCurrently developing a more complete version of the IG that extents its features to allow adaptation to all stereotypes provided by the general ontology, regardless device and target using UIML
