Kalaiselvi Arunachalam, Gopinath Ganapathy · International Journal of Applied Engineering Research · 2019
Millions of applications from several categories of application marketplaces are used by billions of users on their devices like Smartphone, Tablet, Phablet, Smart TV, Notebook etc. around the world.These applications serve the users on different segments like education, health, finance, business, entertainment, shopping etc.The sharing of data between these applications would be more beneficial to the users when they use these diverse devices together in their home network.This paper presents all categories of applications available on popular application marketplaces and the common data types that can be shared across these applications in a home network using UPnP in which application interoperability is achieved by extending the UPnP Device Architecture.This paper also discusses about the common data formats, data transfer formats, data communication medium and data flow which can be used to achieve communication between these diverse applications in a home network.
