European citizens own a large
number of devices with different capabilities
ranging from TV to smart phones, PCs or set-top
boxes. The ability to exchange data and access
external services from these devices is limited
which severely hampers the effectiveness of
personalisation. This in turn affects the usability
and thus mass- market adoption of advanced
audiovisual networked services. The ePerSpace
project addresses the major challenge to "make it
happen". ePerSpace project aims at significantly
increasing the user acceptance of networked
audiovisual systems and applications at home and
virtually anywhere by developing innovative
personalised value-added networked services. With
the integration of the telecom global networks and
the home audiovisual and networking sectors,
ePerSpace will solve existing interoperability
problems in personalisation data exchange, services,
context adaptation and management of service
platforms. From a social and business perspective,
ePerSpace will develop user adoption and business
models focussing on mass market services enabling
seamless cooperation of multimedia user platforms
and devices to access anywhere personalised
services. Dissemination activities including trials,
user surveys and demonstration will be instrumental
for that purpose.
ePerSpace objectives will be realised through 4
major work areas:
-The Home Platform providing the means to exchange
audiovisual content between user terminals and home
equipment;
-Global Network Integration and Interoperability
offering innovative seamless access by sharing user
profiles in a secure manner;
-Home and Personal Devices building unified personal
environments;
-Rich Media Object Management supplying the tools
for content creators to make optimal use of the
infrastructure.
ePerSpace will start from past results gained in
past European projects(@HOM and YOUNSTER)and will
bring together 20 partners(telecom operators,
research institutes, universities and technology
providers).
