DooRae distance home study system on DooRae framework for integrated home information service

We design the collaborative distance home study system by using SDK (software development kit) of API (application interface) format on the DooRae framework (or platform) for an integrated home information service. It is implemented by the high technology of multimedia, information communication and software. This system is a low cost application system for the general home PC user. With the network environment of this system it is possible to construct a superhighway by connecting various network with the home network backbone POF (plastic optical fiber in the home) which is an IEEE 1394-1995 standard specification. We connected the Internet, intranet and various household electrical appliance (video, audio, PC, TV, phone, fax) with the home network backbone. Then we can use convenientiy/efficiently the multimedia home PC for the integrated home information service by the DooRae framework for an integrated information service. The Doorae distance home study system has many functions which are application (audio/video/text data, teaching materials, DB) sharing, white board to support interaction, a video window for participators, audio for dialogue, user´s interface with icon and a environment configuration for collaborative multimedia distance education within the home. The technical components are composed of session management, access management, network control and media control
