本論文提出了一個新的智慧家庭整合平台，將 Android 系統作為 OSGi 之人機介面，且具備下列特色：（1）透過 Android 平台提供使用者設定需求服務及使用情境；（2）可驗證使用者所設定之條件與規則，以避免設備間發生衝突；（3）以圖控方式取代繁雜的設定介面；（4）提供相同（遠端及近端）監控介面讓使用者了解設備的使用狀況。如此，使用者能透過搭載 Android 系統之智慧型手持裝置來進行 OSGi 上各種裝置的操作，並能遠距使用，也為使用者帶來相對的便利性以及減少學習時間。

A flexible smart home platform requires a middleware to control various devices and to provide a friendly user interface. OSGi is a good platform for supporting a variety of devices, but it does not have a graphical user interface. Hence, this research addressed a new smart home integrated platform which combines an Android system with an OSGi environment. The proposed platform has the following characteristics: (1) A user could set up the devices, services, and scenarios through the Android interface; (2) An inherent verification is supported to verify the conditions and regulations which are set by users; (3) Icons are provided to control the devices, services and scenarios. Consequently, a user could set up smart home services, and monitor their status by an Android tablet, or a smart phone.
