由於網路和無所不在的運算能力，在我的日常生中的物品越來越多都包含有嵌入式電腦計算能力。然而大部分的家庭自動化或家庭網路系統並把家庭網路所採用的中介軟體的異質性列入考慮，自然的系統中就沒有針對這類的問題提出方法。使用者需要的便利性，是架構在透過這個家庭網路系統可以隨時隨地方便的存取出現在家庭網路中的任何家電產品。為此我們的中介軟體必須有針對不同網路提供抽象化､自我自動組態和和不同的中介軟體互相溝通協調的能力。我們發展設計一個家庭網路系統並且實作一個OSGi相容的服務閘道器針對於此系統。這個家庭網路系統由包含不同的網路系統和中介軟體所組成。服務閘道器為外部網路和內部網路的結合點，也是各個不同中介軟體的轉譯介面。以這樣來達到減輕家庭網路系統設計者未來重新架構整個家庭網路網路所面臨的複雜問題，並且針對不同網路之間提供互相協調的工作。

The number of various kinds of everyday objects that contain embedded computers is increasing due to the popularity of network and ubiquitous computing. However most home automation or home network system don’t take the heterogeneous home network middleware into consideration. Users need to be able to access ubiquitously present appliances anywhere and anytime through home network. For this, we need middleware that provides an abstraction among different network, self-configuration, and interoperability among middleware. We have developed a home network system and implemented a residential service gateway compliant OSGi specification for the home network system. The home network system consists of different network technologies and middleware. A residential service gateway bridges the external network such as the Internet into the home network and different middleware to relief the designer from restructure the home network system in the future time and provides the interoperability among network.
