智慧生活空間將建立在遍佈運算(Ubiquitous Computing) 的基礎上，在周圍充斥著微電腦運算單元的環境下，將帶給我們一個全然不同的生活面貌。我們設想未來生活空間中的各種物件，例如門窗、地板、家具、家電設備等，都將轉化成具有接收、處理、傳送資料能力的智慧物件。並藉著物件導向(Object-oriented) 的思維，經由使用者前置的物件操作設定後，智慧物件具有獨立自主反應的能力，透過物件彼此相互傳遞訊息溝通合作，以達成使用者的需求目標，不同以往中央控制系統單一主導服務的模式。
本研究欲建構一個讓空間設計者、物件開發者以及一般使用者皆能靈活運用的物件系統。空間設計者如同電腦程式設計者一般，將生活空間視為一個資訊系統，採用物件導向發展程序的步驟方法，並利用统一建模语言(Unified Modeling Language,UML) 來表達系統的運作內容，為客戶規劃出理想中的智慧生活空間。物件開發者可透過公用的標準物件資料庫開發平台來製作物件，將能降低生產成本且提升開發速度，並能增加物件在市場上的多樣性，以滿足各種使用者的需求與喜好。一般使用者有對物件作調整的能力，因此系統能因應未來需求的變動，繼續提供適切的智慧服務，即是此物件導向之開放式智慧空間系統的價值所在。

The smart living spaces will be constructed on ubiquitous computing environment which is full of micro-computing units and bring us to express an entire new living style. We can envision that all the objects around us such as doors, windows, furnishings, equipments are turned into smart objects that have the ability to receive, send and process data automatically. Depending on an object-oriented approach, smart objects work individually and consciously by user’s pre-setting, and cooperate with each other to satisfy users’ needs unlike the way of central control to handle all devices.
In this research, we developed an object system which can be used easily and flexibly for space designers, object developers and normal users. Space designers, just like computer programmers, take the spaces as an information system and follow object-oriented develop procedure to plan a dwelling living space for clients; besides, there is a UML tool to help designer to manipulate objects work accordingly. Through an open standard object develop platform, object developers can build their own unique objects efficiently so that the smart object marketing will be more plentiful and multiform for varying users' needs. For normal users having the abilities to modify the objects, the system thus can respond to future alteration, continuously providing proper intelligent services, which these possibilities being the contribution for the ultimate value of this object-oriented open system for smart spaces.
