1 Introducing The Services Of Things: Unleash the potential of the connected life Ben Vanhaegendoren

2 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 by companies such as le and Google, 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. Lead the way to the Internet of Things The Internet of Things is poised to generate significant growth in the coming years. But real growth is only possible if applications can interact with each other across devices and services, while allowing CE vendors to keep on differentiating their devices, services and solutions 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. One more step is needed toward true interoperability, which will lead to more attractive and valuable services for end-users.

3 Creating Cross-vertical lications Today Lots of smart people are creating cool and innovative applications All implement the end-to-end solution With their own protocols And their own SDK s And their own servers And their own configuration interfaces Implementing use cases that leverage multiple of these devices becomes increasingly difficult as you add more devices 2

4 Example Use Cases Whenever Joan watches a movie, she sets her facebook status to the movie s title, dims the lights, turns up the heat and closes the shades. Joan would, as a Qeo user, like to install a smart app on her smartphone that learns and understands her needs Sam always forgets his keys, but is almost conjoint with his Smartphone. He would love to be able to open his door by entering a PIN code on his phone whenever he s at his front door Miriam wants to send her pictures from her cellphone to her living room TV, but doesn t understand DLNA, SMB, FTP and all those other technical acronyms. As a Qeo user, she should not need to. Jason is expecting a package delivery today, but he can t be home. He would love to be able to connect his Skype account to his front porch security camera. Luckily, both his Skype handset and his security camera are Qeo enabled

10 Publish/Subscribe is the communication pattern of choice Publish/Subscribe Publisher Topic Subscriber Temperature Sensor Tempera ture HVAC Controller I will publish what I know about temperature All there is to know about temperature I subscribe to temperature data Global data space (topic) decouples data providers (publishers) from consumers (subscribers) In space: publishers and subscribers don t need to know each other s location In time: publisher writes when he has something to say, subscriber reads when he wants to use the data Data-centric approach No purpose-specific messages but accurate description of state Topics have well-defined structure: all publications on a topic have exactly the same form 13

11 Publish/Subscribe is the communication pattern of choice Publish/Subscribe T Sensor Living Room HVAC Controller T Sensor Kitchen Tempera ture Home Energy Monitor T Sensor Bath Room T LivingRoom = K T Kitchen = K T BathRoom = K No bookkeeping required Publishers and subscribers are unaware of each other No communication state: publisher writes fire-and-forget, subscriber just reads what s available on the topic Publisher dies: there is just less information on the topic Subscriber dies: nobody cares 14 Support for new use cases Publishers needn t know how subscribers use their data As long as the data model is comprehensive enough, new use cases are covered automatically

14 Qeo Challenge 340 people attended to launch 50 teams signed up (240 people) 30 projects were presented 13 in Paris (picture) 9 in Berlin 8 in Silicon Valley 9 projects made the CES shortlist 4 winning teams flew over to CES 20

15 Teams selected to Demo at CES Paris Baby Synchro Baby Synchro service or how to synchronize parents and daycare centers in only two clicks? This application enables parents to easily synchronize to know who is going to stop at the daycare center to pick up the kids or who is going to be at home on time for the nanny to leave. This application also helps daycare centers in anticipating in real time any delay in parents arrival time. Berlin - BeMyParty BeMyParty or the social light and sound: this application enables people who are at a party to control lights and music thanks to the way they move and dance. Berlin Aura Aura Feel at Home: this service enables you to play the music corresponding to your mood when you come back home. By taking into account the calendar (the schedule you had during the day), the current weather (most of the people are less energetic in winter), the time of the day and your music habits, this app is able to play the music you need, when you need it. Silicon valley Qeo Blaster Qeo Blaster: Where is the damn TV remote control again? How many of you have never looked for their remote controls? With QeoBlaster you don t need them anymore..by a simple gesture it enables you to control your TV: pause or stop a video or a program for example. 21
