Connected Consumer Roadmap: Driven by the Internet of Things

4. CHC White Papers Update – Greg Walker (CABA)

4.1 Convergence of the Connected Home and Car, Keith Robinson, Compass Intelligence

Compass Intelligence is proposing a Convergence of the Connected Home and Car white paper research. These two markets are on a collision course for convergence and each market brings an interesting value-proposition to the table. It is believed that some of the offerings that the automotive industry brings to the table such as telematics products like OnStar, would be of great value to home automation companies. There are products and services on both sides of the market spectrum that can help catapult key market participants into a leadership position in the fast evolving market.Working Group: Lavanya Rammohan, Compass Intelligence

Examples of buildings: Cub House – 65%-90% of the steel is recycled.

– The walls are super-insulated to minimise heat loss.

– PV panels on the roof - come with each home as standard.

– An exhaust air heat pump was fitted, that ventilates the house as well as provides space heating and hot water.

– Rainwater harvesting and water saving devices are standard features.

– The house contains A/A+ rated appliances and low-energy lighting fixtures are used throughout.

– Designed to Code for Sustainable Homes Level 5.

• Hemcrete, a mix of hemp and lime, was used in the timber frame walls.

• The timber and Hemcrete structure, and FSC certified timber windows, deliver low U-values and good airtightness.

• Thermafleece insulation, made from British sheep's wool, was also used - also keeps the carbon footprint down.

• Renewable materials in the paint and furnishings provide a comfortable environment. A new bio-renewable carpet manufactured by DuPont is made from corn and sugar.

Examples: Landscaping

– Imaginative play spaces for children, community gardens and a meeting point.

– Innovative artwork, and a pedestrian and cycle link.

– Wildlife-friendly gardens and diverse planting of native trees and fruit-bearing species enhance the local ecology and enrich biodiversity.

– Recycled paving/furniture in the homezone, picnic and seating areas

– A variety of porous paving systems provide sustainable drainage systems (SUDs).

– Wi-Fi benches for a connected community and a work-from-home environment

– Living green wall, which comprises plants growing on a supporting structure.

Occupancy Monitoring

During a 6-month period of real occupation

– Indoor air quality

– Thermal comfort and potential for overheating

– Moisture levels (both in the indoor environment and within the building fabric)

– Performance of the ventilation system

UPnP Update to CABAJune 2014

Clarke StevensCableLabs

UPnP Forum Steering Committee Director & Technical Committee Chair

Outline

• About UPnP Forum

• UPnP Technology Overview

• UPnP+

• UPnP Cloud

• UPnP Internet of Things

• Other UPnP activities

UPnP Forum: What, Where, Who• The world’s leading standard (ISO/IEC 29341) defining device

interoperability interfaces

• Billions of installed devices• Every Windows PC since Windows ME• Every home router and media NAS• Every PS3 and Xbox 360• Every Wi-Fi device with Wi-Fi Protected Setup• Most connected TVs, Blu-ray players, and smart phones

• More than 1000 members;basic membership is free

• Current Steering Committee:CableLabs, Cisco Systems, Intel, LG Electronics, PacketVideo, Samsung, TP Vision, ZTE Corp.

About UPnP Forum

• Develops consensus-driven Internet Protocol (IP) technical specifications to enable device-to-device interoperability through Discovery and Control

• Certifies implementations conforming to these standards

• Member companies participate and develop extensions to the UPnP Device Architecture (UDA), which defines how to use IP to communicate between devices, and Device Control Protocols (DCPs), which are services between devices

• Members of UPnP Forum include market leaders in computing, printing and networking, consumer electronics, home appliances, automation, control and security, and mobile products

UPnP Forum Goals

• In an open environment, develop standards for interoperable device services using common technologies: TCP/IP, SOAP and XML

• Balance protection of member investment in technology with confidence in ability to implement under royalty-free terms

• Encourage rapid and broad industry deployment of compliant devices

• Innovate on established Internet standards• XML, UDP/TCP/IP, SOAP

• Create open, flexible architecture for service discovery and control• Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP)• Generic Event Notification Architecture (GENA)• Service Control Protocol Description (SCPD/DDD)

• UPnP Device Architecture (UDA)• 0 Addressing: IP assignment on any network (AutoIP)• 1 Discovery: Of services/devices (SSDP)• 2 Description: Syntax for devices/services (SCPD/DDD)• 3 Control: Of device services (SOAP)• 4 Eventing: Updates of variables (GENA)• 5 Presentation: Access to device HTML page

• Device Control Protocols (DCPs)• APIs for various device functionality• Described using SCPD syntax and UDA protocols

UPnP Technology

UPnP Architecture Diagram

• Extensible, open architecture

UPnP Technology Interactions

UPnP+• Extends UPnP’s leadership in standards-based machine-to-

machine (M2M) communications by cloud-enabling all existing UPnP specifications (and existing devices)—an approach of adapt & adopt, not re-invent

• Incorporates newest UPnP specifications, including audio/video, energy management, and security; fully integrates IPv6 while offering seamless backwards compatibility for IPv4

• Enables device organization by “rooms”, providing simple-yet-powerful consumer configuration and personalization capabilities—share your living room across town or across the globe, simply and securely

• Expands protocol bridging capabilities, including broader support for sensors, health monitoring, and energy management

• Facilitates the always-connected lifestyle while driving UPnP devices to the core of the Internet of Things

UPnP Cloud

• UPnP Cloud is an Annex to the UPnP UDA much like IPv6. It is referred to as UDA Cloud Annex or UCA.

• UCA defines a profile of XMPP that can be added as a “wrapper” to a UPnP device or control point, making them a UPnP Cloud Capable Device (UCCD) or Control Point (UCC-CP) respectively. It allows them to connect to other devices and control points via an XMPP server (UPnP Cloud Server or UCS).

• In essence, this allows all DCPs to be leveraged to the Cloud.

UPnP Internet of Things (IoT)

• New activity in UPnP Forum!• UPnP IoT is collecting use cases, technical

requirements and developing an architecture to meet IoT requirements consistent with the UPnP ecosystem.

• The Architecture requirements at a basic level:• Top level connectivity is IP• Define a simple way to accommodate new devices• Be able to integrate diverse networks (ZigBee, Zwave, ANT …)• Support devices in diverse locations• Provide reliable security• Curate IoT device interfaces and make them easily definable

and accessible.

UPnP Internet of Things Assets

• UPnP Device Architecture• Discovery, security, management, control, eventing, IPv6, etc.

• DCPs• Lights/switches, thermostat, blinds, Digital Security Cameras, A/V

• SensorManagement• DCPs condensed to XML structure• Bridging to other protocols• Actuator control

• Cloud Annex• Cloud architecture based on XMPP

Other UPnP Activities

• Multi-Screen• DCPs recently completed and under member review

• Enables automatic discovery of multi-screen capable services, and coordinate and synchronize between applications on any number of screens

• Man-to-Device Interaction• Architecture requirements being defined

• Enables gesture-recognizing utilities, voice-recognizing utilities and wearable utilities as control points to interact with UPnP Services.

Summary

• Open standards are essential to the ecosystem and consumers

• UPnP Forum’s open specifications are the basis for and continue to lead standardization of device discovery and control interfaces

• Evolution of the technology provides innovation while maintaining backward compatibility with existing products

• UPnP is very widely deployed (billion+ devices!)

• UPnP+ will allow control for mobile, cloud, and IPv6

• Lots of exciting work being done!
