The IST@Home project covers the field of Networked Audio-Visual Systems and Home Platforms for Rich Media Communication in the Information Society Technologies (IST) Programme. The main objectives of this project are: to elicit requirements for Tele-Care, Tele-Assistance & Tenant services; to create low cost interoperable & relocatable devices for video service access from home with open coding schemes, service interfaces and integrated audio, video and security functions; to provide gateways to service centres via broadband IP access networks, to common household appliances via standard bus and to video service access devices, TV sets, multi-modal sensors & control devices in the home using broadband wireless IP; to create a generic service centre to handle home applications and video-based services; to implement services over heterogeneous networks with security and Quality of Service (QoS) management; to validate designs by operating new services on real networks including UMTS at multiple sites with real users in social services, health and housing. Key results are the new applications and components including Residential Gateway (RG) with wireless IP base station, access network and domotics interface, the service access devices Service Pad and Set-top Box (STB) supporting Safety Device, vital signs capture and full quality video communication, Service Centre with adapted database, security and application provisioning, and UMTS mobile service provision interface.
