The document discusses the AllSeen Alliance's approach to interoperability in the Internet of Things (IoT), focusing on challenges and opportunities for mobile network operators and the end-user experience. It emphasizes the need for smart devices to interconnect and the significance of a unified ecosystem for optimizing user experience across various nomadic mobile devices. Additionally, it highlights the importance of security and privacy when integrating mobile applications with connected home networks.

- 3. DD MM YYYY AllSeen Alliance 33 Challenges & Opportunities Mobile Devices in the IoT Experience.
- 4. DD MM YYYY AllSeen Alliance 4 Connected Home Challenges And Opportunities Win the end-user experience battle Thanks to carefully crafted end-to-end user experiences such as those being created on tablets and smartphones, consumers have become more demanding of their devices and services. Bringing this same level of integration in a de-facto heterogeneous service environment is difficult and costly when you don’t control the ecosystem.
- 5. DD MM YYYY AllSeen Alliance 5 Connected Home Challenges And Opportunities Lead the way to the Internet of Things The Internet of Things is poised to generate significant growth in the coming years. But mass market acceptance depends on smart devices being able to interact with each other across devices and services.
- 6. DD MM YYYY AllSeen Alliance 6 Connected Home Challenges And Opportunities Monetize the digital life simplification Devices are connected to the Internet but only few devices are “interconnected”, despite the wide proliferation of standards and standardization efforts. Each new standard adds cost and complexity. How do we guarantee a return on investment for integrating standards, how do we differentiate?

- 10. DD MM YYYY AllSeen Alliance 10 Accepting the Challenge User Experience AllSeen unifies the ecosystem, and gives you to tools to create a coherent user experience across all devices, even the ones you don’t sell. Mass Market The AllSeen IoT SDK allows you to create smart devices that provide intelligent and ambient user experiences. Monetize The AllJoyn framework is a ready-to-use implementation, not a reference or a specification. You can take the code and build your differentiated use cases right on top of it.
- 11. DD MM YYYY AllSeen Alliance 1111 Adding “Nomadic” Devices Special Requirements for Mobile and/or Roaming Devices.
- 12. DD MM YYYY AllSeen Alliance 12 Mobile Device Requirements Nomadic Devices How to keep devices that roam between networks connected to your IoT devices. A “nomadic” device is any device that is at times connected to the home network and at times connected to the home via other networks. This can range from smartphones/tablets, over wearables, to connected cars. Different network technologies and Quality of Service possible (Home WiFi environment vs. Mobile Network vs. Public Hot-Spot…)
- 13. DD MM YYYY AllSeen Alliance 13 Mobile Device Requirements User Experience point of view How to keep devices that roam between networks connected to your IoT devices. Developer’s point of view Ideally, the app developer only needs to target one framework/development environment. • Re-use of code eliminates potential mistakes and minimizes development efforts • Yet, the framework should allow for easy detection of the device’s current ‘location, You need to be able to provide a differentiated user experience depending on the location of the device (taking into account network properties). • You expect different reasons for using an app in-house vs. while commuting. Optimize for the anticipated use! • Different networks have different physical properties: adopt use cases accordingly • Different cost structures might/should lead to different approaches to connectivity.

- 15. DD MM YYYY AllSeen Alliance 15 AllSeen Gateway Agent • Designed to link with cloud services – New or existing operator (managed) services – Social networks and applications – Proximal to cloud/Cloud to proximal • Enables mobility: Simple gateway for all devices to send Notifications and other data to the Cloud • Offers common gateway and methods for remote access, control and automation • Or link to other proximal networks – AllJoyn to AllJoyn (e.g. primary and vacation home, home/office, …) – AllJoyn to PAN (e.g. Zigbee, Z-Wave, Echonet, …) • Design Goals – Maintain end-to-end security between external Apps and Services and proximal devices – Allow only authorized traffic in to and out of the network
- 16. DD MM YYYY AllSeen Alliance 16 Linux/openWRT Package Installer (AllJoyn) • Install/uninstall of 3rd Party Connector Apps Connector Apps (1-n) • Written by 3rd Party • Chroot jail cell architecture • Implements mapping between SP API (webservice, Zigbee etc.) and AllJoyn • Advertises external Apps and Services as AllJoyn Interfaces Gateway Mngmt App • Provides management interfaces for device owner to manage Connector Apps and AllJoyn device remoting • Manages rules for message filtering in the common Router Node Control App (mobile SDK) • Allows device owner to set remoting and injection rules • Functionality to discover, download, install and operate the Connector AppCloud / Internet / other proximal network e.g. Zigbee Common AllJoyn routing node • Implements D-bus level message filtering Proximal network Gateway Agent 1.0: product architecture
- 17. DD MM YYYY AllSeen Alliance 1717 Security and Privacy for Nomadic Devices
- 18. DD MM YYYY AllSeen Alliance 18 Security for Mobile Use Cases The Gateway The Gateway Agent sandboxes individual connector apps from the rest of the gateway, protecting the core functionality of the device The Home Instead of exposing the entire home network to the outside world, connector apps only get a filtered view of the LAN. Privacy AllJoyn Security 2.0 puts the user in control of which interfaces gets shared between which devices and users. Manifests ensure there is no access beyond what’s advertised.
- 19. DD MM YYYY AllSeen Alliance 1919 1. Target the Entire Ecosystem Capture as much information through AllJoyn as possible, go beyond the scope of your own devices and services to create the smartest solution possible. 2. Take Your Location Into Account Mobile devices are inherently location aware. Use that to ensure an optimal user experience in all situations. 3. Design for Security Use the Gateway Agent to sandbox any app that needs external access to parts of to the home network. Become a trusted partner by respecting the user’s privacy.
