Networked home appliance system using Bluetooth technology integrating appliance control/monitoring with Internet service

In this paper, we introduce a novel home network system for creating new network and service architecture by connecting home appliances networked using Bluetooth technology with the Internet. In the system, we mainly propose a new method of home network formation using Bluetooth devices and a method to control/monitor networked home appliances with commands that are implicitly integrated within service contents offered by an application service provider to a user. Finally, we show the implementation and evaluation results, and we discuss the advantages of this system for white appliance networking.
