Web of Domotics. Semantic Energy Information

Publishing Framework Effects Based Approach in

Smart Homes.

2nd Year PhD Report -- Faisal Razzak

Combination of concepts from following domains: – Domotics. – Internet of Things.

Enables mobile users to access (in a standard, semantic powered linked data format) and to control devices in a ubiquitous manner, without any a priori knowledge of device controllers from any network or location.

1. Domotic Device Identification

2. Domotic Device Control

3. Access to Controller

4. Universal Authentication

2nd Year PhD Report -- Faisal Razzak

• A mobile phone equipped with a camera and an enabled Internet connection.

• Every device has a unique identifier.

• The Identifier can be encoded using RFID, visual tags, NFC etc.

• There exists a reference DNS domain assigned to all identifiers. For example, viztag.com.

1. The mobile application takes a snap shot of the visual tag associated to the device and located nearby.

2nd Year PhD Report -- Faisal Razzak

2. The mobile application decodes the visual tag to extract the UAID of the device.

3. After getting the UAID, the mobile application determines the URL of the correct Controller through a DNS query on a special domain.

4. The mobile application contacts the Controller and sends the user’s identity credentials .

5. The Controller forwards the authentication credentials to an external authentication service.

6. The authentication service informs the Controller about the validity of the user credentials.

• The Controller exposes device information through RDF or RDFa.

• The user can request pure RDF description of a device or RDFa (XHTML) as a response user interface.

• Devices are described by reporting semantics-rich information including their name, type, functionalities, current location and by showing current state and available operations.
