Design of a universal home gateway for intelligence appliance interoperability

In this paper, a universal home gateway software architecture for both IP-based and non-IP intelligent appliances is designed. Firstly, the software architecture is presented. And then the components and the main functionalities of the software are described. Finally, the software running results are verified by experiments and prove that the universal home gateway proposed can support the “plug and play” and interoperability of intelligence appliance.
