Abstract :
We propose universal interaction for networked home appliances, which is a simple mechanism to fill the gap between traditional user interface systems and advanced user interaction devices. Our system enables us to control appliances in a uniform way at any place, and the system allows us to select suitable input and output devices according to our preferences and situations. Also, the devices can be changed dynamically according to a user´s preferences.
