為了達成智慧數位家庭所帶來的便利所需的關鍵技術即為環境感知(context aware)，環境感知技術是一項透過佈建在環境中之感測網路平台，它可以隨時將感測到的資料，例如位置、溫度、溼度，透過環境所建置的任何網路傳送到伺服器供人和其他程序使用。藉由進一步處理與分析，來實現使用者在不同的環境下利用各種裝置，並透過不同的網路與通訊環境，隨時隨地享受到個人化及貼心的應用與服務。本論文所提出的智慧型環境感系統知包含了系統模組化的核心、透過資訊收集以及資訊分析的推理模組、情境分析以及相關介面來達成智慧數位家庭所需的環境感知系統，且該系統與OSGi framework在平行的架構上合作，可以說本智慧型環境感系統與OSGi framework之間是緊密結合的，新的裝置可以馬上相容於本系統開始運作。

The key technology of digital home that brings us convenient life is Context awareness technology. Context awareness technology is a system the catches the information from the sensor network which is built in environment, the network could get the environment data immediately, and through this data information that network provides the system could do the exactly the right thing that help people’s like getting better. These information data could be location, temperature or humidity. However, these data are used by context awareness system to analysis and process to realize different person in different environment using every kind of devices and through any different existing network system and still could enjoy the personality applications and services in any time they want. This thesis proposed Intelligent Context-Aware Middleware is including system core modeling, context provider, context analysis model, reasoning system, scenario analysis model and some other APIs to achieve the context awareness system that a digital home needs. Besides, this middleware is collaborate with OSGi framework in paralleled. In other words, this Intelligent Context-Aware Middleware is totally associated to each other, that means every new devices could be compatible to either OSGi framework or Intelligent Context-Aware Middleware this thesis proposed immediately.
