Abstract

HAVi is a home networking standard that links consumer electronics and computing devices in the home. The HAVi network is restricted to the IEEE 1394 physical layer, and this paper describes an approach for executing HAVi applications outside the IEEE 1394 layer from any Internet-enabled device such as a laptop or a Web pad. The feasibility of this approach has been demonstrated with a prototype implementation in which the entire HAVi Java API can be executed remotely. This approach enables applications such as remote monitoring with a home security camera or remote control of a VCR
