The paper proposes a methodology to provide the multimedia service framework to provide an integrated multimedia service in the ubiquitous home network. To do so, we define the requirements of a home media server (HMS), and implement its functionalities as a gateway for establishing connections between the home and external networks. The proposed HMS pursues, not only the integration of home network middleware technologies that allow automatic control and information sharing with various consumer electronics (CEs) and A/V devices, but also intended to provide context based intelligences to the multimedia services for the ubiquitous home environment .
