Abstract:

The popularity of network home appliances that can interconnect with other home appliances through networks increases. The operation and function of these appliances are complex since they can share contents and data with other network home appliances. However, it remains difficult for users to identify network home appliances, since their locations are not installed and cannot be displayed easily when operating them. Because these problems, more obvious and intuitive operations are needed for controlling network home appliances. For this solution, we have implemented augmented reality (AR) technology in our past proposed system for easier, intuitive operation to control multiple network home appliances connected by home networks. AR technology can provide virtual graphics and apply additional information to specific areas through camera displays. In current AR technology, an AR marker made from a graphical image (an image marker) is necessary to display the virtual AR graphics to the devices's identified location. Unfortunately, such image markers are not suitable when they are implemented on network home appliances due to poor recognition when lighting environments or distances are changed. In this paper, we explain the LED augmented reality marker (LED marker), implement a new marker, and evaluate it, and consider a collaboration system for controlling multiple network home appliances connected to home networks.

I. Introduction

Such network home appliances as televisions, HDD/DVD recorders, and audio devices, can be interconnected by the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) [1]. Network home appliances based on the DLNA guidelines offer data and content transferability to other DLNA home appliances through remote controls called Digital Media Controllers (DMC). An example is shown in Fig. 1. Using a DMC, a user can transfer multiple contents stored on multiple recorders that are connected to the home network to a particular television display that is also connected to the home network. The DMC displays a list of available television displays or a Digital Media Renderer (DMR) and the transferable contents stored on the networked recorders or the Digital Media Servers (DMS). Thus, users can play the content on any DMR by operating the DMC.
