“TRADITIONAL” CLOUD PHONE… Centralized back-end, star-shaped service topology CPU - Requires a network connection to the back-end CONTENT - Uses resources that you do not control STORAGE - Primitive resources: online content, storage capacity, processing power + Data will not disappear if your device breaks down© Ixonos Plc

THE WORLD TODAY... NAS SMART FRIDGE PC SMARTPHONE MEDIA CENTRE SMART TV© Ixonos Plc

OUR CONCEPT (”HomeEcho”)• More than just a single device using the cloud, all devices in the home connect to one ”P2P swarm”• All resources and capabilities accessible from any device • shared from your cloud, HomeEcho• Sharing files, media and storage space, as well as capabilities: processing power, speakers, displays, network connection, sensors, etc...• Not tied into, or limited by, certain standards© Ixonos Plc

...THE WORLD TOMORROW • See all devices as one entity, with combined capabilities • No need to worry about device compatibility or joint functionality • When the devices are connected to HomeEcho cluster, you decide: • which software to use • how the different devices interact© Ixonos Plc

TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW THE DEVICE for dynamically loading and RUNTIME executing the software PEER for discovery and pairing Swarm CAPABILITIES for connecting accessories HW / SW and resources locally• Clustering your home electronics• Changing from a device-centric view to a user or use-case centric view© Ixonos Plc

ULTIMATELY, IT CAN LOOK LIKE THIS HANDHELD MEDIA CENTRE SMART TV CAR/IVI - Visibility of all processes - Possibility to select a user ”ROOM” ”ROOM” ”ROOM” ”ROOM” space for application - Possibility to share runtimes – handheld runs Dalvik on smart TV screen? APPLICATION APPLICATION APPLICATION APPLICATION APPLICATION APPLICATION APPLICATION APPLICATION APPLICATION APPLICATION APPLICATION APPLICATION You see one Kernel, one file system, all processes deployed to different user spaces. You manage everything like a single Linux box. - Kernel-to-Kernel p2p communications Linux Kernel Linux Kernel Linux Kernel Linux Kernel - Virtual file system – storage and remote /dev - Hot plug of new nodes to the cloud - You could buy CPU power – Hardware Hardware Hardware Hardware just put a node instance to remote cloud NODE NODE NODE NODE© Ixonos Plc

MAIN BENEFITS • Resource stretching: grow your resources in the bottlenecks without additional investments • New amazing functionality thanks to unique resource combinations • Ease of use: focus on how the service is used, not how the devices are connected and configured • Technical complexity is hidden from consumers – things “just work” • Higher level of context awareness • Extreme flexibility, thanks to modularity • Developers not constrained by delays of standards being formalized • Low maintenance costs: peer is easy to maintain, • even if the kernel and device system is developed further • Compact enabler (the peer) • Light interface to the device’s system: just IP and messaging© Ixonos Plc

TECHNOLOGY: MAIN ELEMENTS • Most elements exist today, just separately • We can bring them together • Key technologies: • Virtualization: VirtualBox etc… • Clustering: LinuxPMI etc…. • Media and content distribution: RTSP etc … • Device discovery and management: Broadcast messages etc… • P2P technologies: Distributed hashes etc… • With different processor architectures (x86, ARM etc), no transfer of native code • Runtime Virtual Machines: Dalvik etc… • POC in user space → peer for x86 ≠ peer for ARM© Ixonos Plc

INTRODUCTION IN PHASES PHASE 1 PHASE 2 • Introduction can be done in two phases: RUNTIME user space 1. User space demo user space 2. Kernel implementation PEER • This enables verifying and kernel testing the system CAPABILITIES HW / SW kernel© Ixonos Plc

NUMBER OF USE CASES: ONE ZILLION • No predefinition for HOW and for WHAT the resources are used • Not limited to use-cases or functionality someone else has decided • Unlimited options • Maximized efficiency: each device performs the task it is most capable of doing, and communicates directly with others • A control device, such as a smart phone, is not burdened by handling all traffic • Can be expanded with remote capabilities from a ”traditional” cloud – not a must. • Can be accessed remotely© Ixonos Plc

SAMPLE USE CASE 0. Discovery 5. 1. Dispatch ”File Provider” 1. executable code / mini-app 2. 3. 2. Dispatch ”Media Player” executable code / mini-app 3. Assign Source to Media Centre 4. 4. Connect 6. 5. ”Play” 6. Read and play media© Ixonos Plc

PHONE MIC & CAMERA TO SKYPE CHAT ON TV Video chat on your TV by using the phone´s camera and mic© Ixonos Plc LinuxCon Europe Oct 2011 15

TV RECOGNIZES IF THE USER LEAVES THE ROOM The TV can use the phone mic and IR camera to recognise when a viewer leaves the room, and pause.© Ixonos Plc

VOICE-COMMANDED TV REMOTE Control TV with your mobile phone by giving voice commands.© Ixonos Plc LinuxCon Europe Oct 2011 17

ADDITIONAL TV FEATURES Interoperability between all the vendors would ensure that the extra TV features can become industry-standard expanding the interactive TV feature possibilities significantly.© Ixonos Plc LinuxCon Europe Oct 2011 18

THE FUTURE OF TV METRICS Instant tracking of TV show performance • How many people are in the room • How they react to the show (laugh/cry) • Are they just watching TV or using other devices • The collected data can be matched to the identity of the cloud© Ixonos Plc

PLAYLIST BASED ON SHARED MUSIC Generate playlists for parties that best matches the collective musical taste of guests.© Ixonos Plc LinuxCon Europe Oct 2011 20

PROTECTING THE ONES YOU LOVE Notifications about people’s whereabouts, for example your kids’ when they are playing outside, based on their phone GPS location (or WiFi/Bluetooth range), are viewable on your TV screen.© Ixonos Plc

REMOTE MANAGEMENT OF HOME When nobody is at home, it goes to energy-save mode. When you are 2kms away, your home starts to prepare itself by reinstating normal room temperature. Before you enter, the lights turn on for you. Antti is 2 kms away – prepare the house.© Ixonos Plc

REMOTE ACCESS TO HomeEcho “MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME” Link your HomeEcho (personal settings/files) to Hotel© Ixonos Plc LinuxCon Europe Oct 2011 23

HOME CLOUD EXTENDED WITH REMOTE CLOUD HomeEcho Remote cloud services Office applications Purchased remote services Storage space Games/Media Payment Streams processor© Ixonos Plc

WHAT NEEDS TO BE BUILT? • Linux clustering in an embedded environment • clustering projects are focused on workstations and servers • Integration to existing IDEs (Eclipse etc…) and SDKs (Android SDK etc…) • to enable SW development in these environments • API and later components • An open-source project within Linux ecosystem, to develop the solution and distribute its contents? 1. The runtime-based node 2. The build in the kernel 3. Porting efforts to different Linux distributions Challenges: • Consumer electronics market is fragmented • If implemented on only half of the devices, consumers become disappointed with the “other half” • Security of communications and execution privileges PORTABILITY IS A KEY DRIVER!© Ixonos Plc

ECOSYSTEM • Impact on the development ecosystem • Taking Linux to a new level: not only using Linux everywhere and connecting it with everything, but doing things beyond the imagination • Impact on commercial developers • Business opportunities for creating new use cases and programming HomeEcho mini-apps • Sell mini-apps to electronics companies • Sell mini-apps to consumers via app stores • Impact on electronics companies (home electronics, smartphones) • Differentiating devices with HomeEcho • Mini-apps optimized for your devices, include enhanced functionality • Value-add services enabled by HomeEcho© Ixonos Plc
