提供家庭內即時資訊全覽的概念性智慧型家庭系統MyHome主要由兩個部份所組成：包括放在家中的資訊閘道器伺服器MyServer，以及遠端用來顯示家中現況的使用者圖形介面MyIcon。延續先前已發表之MyServer核心技術，本論文探討在MyServer上整合家庭中各周邊元件技術，以及設計與實現遠端圖形界面MyIcon的技術，以便提供完整智慧家庭MyHome中包含：居家保全、庫存追蹤、設備管理、家人關懷等四項服務。據此，本論文的主要貢獻有三：首先是透過Zigbee無線感測網路將家庭內各周邊裝置整合至MyServer伺服器上；其次是提供模擬整個家庭所有周邊的模擬器，方便MyHome架構導入過程中，獨立測試與最後的整合建置。最後，是設計使用者圖形界面MyIcon，經由與MyServer的跨網路連接，達到隨時隨地顯示家庭內各項智慧家庭資訊與服務的技術。本論文以一2000平方呎的家庭為設計標的，利用上述：周邊整合、全室模擬以及圖形界面的技術，達到能提供遠端即時顯示的MyHome實現。本論文所研發的技術除了適用於一般新建與現有家庭之外，也可推廣至涵蓋不同層樓的大廈等智慧建築。

Geared to present an instant overview of a smart home, our proposed MyHome is composed of two major subsystems: a residential information gateway, MyServer; and a remote graphic user interface, MyIcon. Continuing on the developed core technology of MyServer, this thesis investigates both the integration technology of household peripherals into MyServer as well as the remote display technology of the proposed MyIcon. The overall goal is to provide four categories of services purposed by MyHome: home security, inventory tracking, facility tracking, and family tracking. To this aim, contributions of this thesis include the following developed technology: first, integration of peripherals into the core of MyServer through Zigbee wireless sensor network; second, emulation technique that allows independent design and implementiob of MyHome before periphaerals are ready, while provide instant switch-over to real peripherals when the peripherals are readily installed; finally, the graphical user interface MyIcon that presents instant overview and services of the smart home through the network connectivity with MyServer. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed technology, an overall MyHome has been installed, with some emulation, to a 2000-square-feet home. The developed technology applies not to new and existing homes, but apartment compounds and intelligent buildings as well.
