New Middleware Platform for Communications between Mobile Phones and Sensor Networks The platform is researched by NTT DoCoMo and Hewlett-Packard	By Sorin Trusca, Communications News Editor 16th of October 2006, 13:38 GMT Adjust text size:


NTT DoCoMo and Hewlett-Packard Company announced that they have been conducting joint research with the purpose of developing a new application platform to interconnect cellular telephone systems and sensor networks, and the development of a new middleware platform prototype. The Sensor Network Middleware Platform is designed to work with networks found in homes and businesses that utilize sensors relying on various transmission methods. The middleware is equipped with a interface that works with various transmission methods and enables exchanging data between mobile phones and the sensor networks. Software using this middleware is installed on both the sensor networks and the mobile phones, enabling the phones to access the sensor networks directly, across a variety of transmission methods. The phones can then be used to pull data, or even control devices connected to it. The middleware also makes it possible to develop applications and devices compatible with any sensor network, regardless of the type of transmission method it employs. The new technology is expected to be useful for a wide range of services, enabling seamless connections between mobile phones and crime-prevention equipment, home appliances, IC tag readers, and other devices.
