Abstract:
The present invention provides a service providing device and a service providing method enabling a user to accept the service by utilizing the capabilities of several various devices. An available physical device or a combination of the physical devices is selected for the user based on the service requirement, and the user accepts the service via the selected physical device or the combination of the physical devices. The invention "hides" the physical devices by using a virtual device to provide the service for users. Furthermore, the invention provides a "tailored" virtual device based on the environment around the user, the favorite of user and the requirements of the service, and therefore the invention may provide to the user the "tailored" information suitable for the user. The operating environment of the virtual device according to the invention is dynamically changeable according to the environment around the user, the favorite of user and the requirements of the service, and therefore a seamless service may be provided to the user.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide dynamic machine synthesis method for implementing effective wireless device access and management through integrated device capabilities. SOLUTION: With the method, simple devices can be integrated into a dynamic machine (DM) so as to provide an end user with integrated access and management methods, thereby providing true flexibility and convenience. Thus, complex applications or service requirements can be satisfied with a group of simple devices. Devices themselves are no longer treated as individual devices but as the constituent components of a DM. The method also provides a new approach for solving complex problems by using dynamic machine instead of designing and manufacturing new real machines, people could just build DMs in time of need and disassemble them whenever they are no longer needed with little cost.

Abstract:
Provides a service providing device and method enabling a user to accept the service by utilizing the capabilities of several various devices. At least one physical device is selected for the user based on the service requirement. The user accepts the service via the selected physical device or devices. The invention “hides” the physical devices by using a virtual device to provide the service for users. Furthermore, the invention provides a “tailored” virtual device based on the environment around the user, the favorite of user and the requirements of the service, and may provide to the user the “tailored” information suitable for the user. The operating environment of the virtual device according to the invention is dynamically changeable according to the environment around the user, the favorite of user and the requirements of the service. Thus, a seamless service may be provided to the user.
Abstract:
An intelligent surrogate apparatus for enhancing the display output and interaction capability of a portable device comprises a communication interface for connecting the portable device and an display controller. The apparatus comprises a connection manager for establishing connection and managing data flows; a graphics data receiver for receiving structured graphics data output from an application running on the portable device via the communication interface and converting them to a corresponding graphic function invocation; and a windows manager which may invoke a graphic function library to organize application windows according to the graphic function invocation. The apparatus can organize windows on the external display and/or interact with the application program in response to an external keyboard/mouse event so that the portable device is endued with additional capabilities of interactive operations.
