Design And Realization Of Home Media Center Based On Embedded Linux And Commercial Platform

In recent years, the digital home industry model for the future becomes a critical problem of high-tech development. Another the concept that closely related to digital home is "Three Network Merge". We know that each of the "Three Net" has different powers and owner of investment management; hence they are unlikely to achieve complete integration in the near future. So at this stage, how to explore the potential of networks to provide a better use of bandwidth, how to add some business, is vital to the future development of digital home issues.If a digital home media center can be combined together with the client application services through the terminal, people could be relatively quickly and easily brought to enjoy the entertainment of digital home. Triggered be the using of digital home media center as a new technical means, the industry of digital home will get to a new stage.This paper analyzes the development trend of digital home products and services, and also summarizes the currently facing problems in the field of digital home. It gives some groping and constructive ideas about commercial model for digital home applications. After that, it gives a detailed introduction on the hardware & software design and realization of the Media Center and Web Platform. The following parts mainly focus on the key technologies and related software module on the communications and remote control between Media Center and Web Platform.At last, the paper summarizes the problems that still exist, and then points out the direction of refinements for the Home Media Centers. It also gives the prospect of next work.
