A multi-control center household appliances coordinated control method based on Events and Actions

Generally, in a smart home network there is a control center, or home gateway, used for equipment management, security strategy deployment, routing and other functions. Deploying the Events and Actions mechanism in AllJoyn framework provides convenience for the coordinated control among household appliances. However, the existing Events and Actions mechanism merely considers the simplest case that there is only one control center in a home network, if multiple control centers exist, Actions might be called repeatedly and leads to service conflict. In this paper, a multi-control center household appliances coordinated control method is proposed to ensure the normal operation of Events and Actions mechanism with multiple control centers.
