[24] In a software framework structure according to an exemplary embodiment, a software framework for sharing an intelligent resource in UMO is provided to implement USS. That is, the software framework for sharing an intelligent resource, which is a software framework providing an suitable service by request of a user moving in various USS environment, is mounted in various UMO existing in surrounding environment. The UMO has a technical point of providing a service independently or through an interaction with the user based on circumferential resource or context when the user intends to provide a specific service while moving in the USS environment.
[25] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be fully described with reference to the appended drawings. The description of the exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be focused on parts necessary to understand an operation and an action of the present invention.
[26] For a general understanding, the description will be hereinafter made on the basis of a framework. However, the framework corresponds to each unit of the terminal provided with an optimal ubiquitous service by using an optimal resource as a virtual resource in the USS environment. Accordingly, it will be understood that the terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the units corresponding to the frameworks so as to be provided with ubiquitous services.
[27] First, the service provided by UMO frameworks is roughly divided into a voluntary environmental control service, and a voluntary resource sharing and composition service through a user preference-based situation recognition.
[28] The voluntary resource sharing and composition service is a service that voluntarily composes resources provided in the USS environments and user profiles into an optimal environment in order to provide a ubiquitous computing environment service which the user demands.
[29] The voluntary environmental control service is a service that may control the USS environment in accordance with the intention of the user through a voluntary service execution mechanism in the UMO framework on the basis of the user's preference and context information of the surrounding environment.
[30] Accordingly, FIG. 1 shows a method by which the UMO provides various services to a user in the USS environment.
[31] A UMO framework structure according to an exemplary embodiment will be described below.
[32] FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a UMO framework structure according to an exemplary embodiment.
[33] Referring to FIG. 2, the UMO framework includes two layers, i.e., a USS configuration layer and a situation awareness support layer located in the center of the UMO frameworks.
[34] USS configuration layer below is located right on a USS interaction layer supporting a communication infrastructure, and obtains a resource and context information from the USS environment. The USS configuration layer enables UMO to provide a service by composing an optimal USS environment. A situation awareness support layer, which is located right on the USS configuration layer, provides intelligent services by recognizing a situation of the USS based on information from the USS configuration layer and an application layer.
[35] Hereinafter, an operation of this UMO framework will be described with reference to
FIG. 3.
[36] The UMO framework defines a service provision to the user as a performance procedure by which the UMO provides a service in accordance with a continuously changing intention of the user. The performance procedure is also defined as a UMO action cycle.
[37] The UMO action cycle is divided into a service broker block, a discovery block, a
Context Information Base (CIB) block, a reasoner block, and a resource composer block. The service broker block analyzes the intention of the user, and thus requests a suitable computing environment to be constituted. The Discovery block retrieves resources of services existing in the USS environment on the basis of the requested information. The CIB block stores, manages, and provides the retrieved resources and the resource information such as context information. The reasoner block composes a resource map suitable for the service provision according to the retrieved information and information such as the user's intention, and makes a plan for the voluntary service performance. The resource composer block performs a binding using virtual device drivers so as to use substantial resources on the basis of the resource map from the reasoner block, and provides the voluntary resource sharing and composition service.
In this case, the service broker performs the voluntary environment control service using the action plan from the reasoner.
[38] As described in FIG. 2, the UMO action cycle corresponding to the action of the user occurs in UMO soft framework. UMO may provide services based on the user and environment recognition through one UMO action cycle. When the user's action occurs, the UMO recognizes the action of the user by the service broker, and receives the request of the service.
[39] If the request is recognized through the service discovery, a discovery engine is driven in order to collect context information on the surrounding environment. The UMO appropriately filters and manipulates the information so as to make a plan using the collected information, and stores the information in a CIB. The reasoner generates the resource map for the optimal service using information on the user's preference and request on the basis of the stored context information, and delivers the resource map to the resource composer. Then, the resource composer receives the optimal resource map and constructs the environment capable of providing a service by appropriately binding the resources on the basis of the information stored in the CIB.

[41] Referring to FIG. 4, the CIB provides a function of storing information on the various resources available in the UMO device, a function of managing and querying the stored information, and a function of generating detailed description information of the resources capable of being provided to the surrounding UMO using internal context information.
[42] The CIB includes a CIB storage 41, a UMO IB manager 42, a resource wrapper/ encoder 43, and a local resource 44.
[43] The CIB storages 41 stores a resource and service function including multilevel categories and the shared resources and the context information provided from the surrounding UMO devices.
[44] The UMO IB manager 42 provides a function of querying the stored CIB in various and convenient manner and a function of managing (e.g., adding or deleting) the CIB in order to support the efficient data management and query function.

[64] A resource composer function block will be fully described below.
[65] A resource composer receives the resource map finally made by the service reasoner, composes a set of resources, and provides a way to use the resources.
[66] A retrieval of various resources according to user's demand and a selection of an optimal combination are performed by other functional blocks. The resource composer takes charge of receiving the above result, combines the resources, and enables the interface to be used in other programs. The resource composer includes remote resources existing in a remote UMO.
[67] As described in FIG. 5, the internal structure of the resource composer 50 includes a resource composition manager 51, a resource downloader (52) and a resource installer 53.
[68] The resource composition manager 51 provides an interface with the service reasoner and a CIB, which are external blocks. In this way, the resource composition manager 51 plays a substantial role in the resource composition by controlling the resource downloader 52 and the resource installer 53, which are internal blocks to compose a list of the requested resources. The service reasoner (60) delivers IDs of the resources according to the service profile to the resource composition manager 51.

[70] The resource installer 53 takes charge of receiving, installing, and driving the RAP software from the resource downloader 52.
[71] The resource composer (50) may compose a virtual resource by driving the RAP software, and share the resources existing in the external UMO. The virtual resource, which is a resource provided from the resource composer 50, is a resource existing in the external UMO recognized as a local resource. Because the virtual resource is connected with the UMO devices via pre-defined communication channel, the virtual resource may be uses as the local resource in the UMO devices.

[80] - Request primitives: performs a request which service discovery receives from the upper layer.
[81] - Confirm primitives: is used in order to return the result performed by the request primitive to upper layer.
[82] - Indication primitive: is used for the service discovery to inform the upper layer of an event such as a message arrival.
[83] - Response primitive: is used for the upper layer to deliver the result performed by the indication primitive to a corresponding device.
[84] - Message processor
[85] Message processor transforms a request of the upper layer through primitive calls into a service discovery message, delivers it to the surrounding devices through an interaction adapter, and calls an appropriate indication primitive by analyzing the service discovery message.
[86] - Neighbor manager
[87] Neighbor manager manages information such as ID of the surrounding devices,
UMO ID, Operation Mode (Directory mode or Peer-to-peer mode), state, and Network address.
[88] - Localization engine
[89] Localization engine performs a function of calculating location information between the devices used as basic data in function of recognizing the usage situation of shared resources. The Localization Engine provides the upper layer with relative distance information between the devices using the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) provided by the Interaction Adapter in the process of transmitting the service discovery message.
[90] A UMO framework block inter-working will be described with reference to the accompanying FIG. 6.
[91] A Service Access Point (SAP) is used as an interface between the UMO framework internal blocks [92] The SAP of UMO framework internal blocks are defined in each of functional blocks.
[93] Primitives used in UMO framework are described in the following table 1. [94] Table 1 [Table 1] [Table ]
[95] The UMO framework performs a UMO operation flow as described in FIG. 7 when a service request is received from an upper application layer. If a service broker receives a profile.request from an application layer, the service broker requests a service reasoner to compose resources with respect to ID of the received profile. The service reasoner verifies if the corresponding resources exist in CIB using a CIB. request. Then, after the service reasoner checks the preference with respect to a resource composition from a user preference manager, the service reasoner requests a resource discover & provider to retrieve the corresponding resources in a USS environment by a resource_find.request. The resource discover & provider broadcasts a discovery command for the requested resources to a USS interaction adapter in the USS environment.
[96] Information retrieved by the USS interaction adapter is delivered to the resource discover & provider using the discovery.confirm. Also, the retrieved information is stored in CIB using a CB-set.request. if the discovery is completed until a given time_out, the resource discover & provider informs the service reasoner that the retrieval has been completed by sending a resource_find.confirm to the service
reasoner. Then, the service reasoner generates an appropriate resource composition map using CIB and preference information of resource, context and user from a user preference manager, and delivers the resource composition map to a resource composer through a composition.request. The resource composer obtains detailed information on the corresponding resources from the CIB in accordance with the given map, and, if necessary, downloads virtual resources and related software from a corresponding UMO to compose them like its own local resources. After this process, the resource composer updates the changed local resource information in CIB. If the update is completed, the resource composer informs the service reasoner by a com- position.confirm. The service reasoner informs the service broker through a resource.confirm. The service broker informs the application layer that a service for profile is ready through a profile.confirm, and ends the process. If the process ends, the application layer is provided with the services by using a service environment voluntarily composed by the UMO software framework.
[97] 3. UMO Software Framework Profile Description
[98] A UMO framework profile includes the definitions of all the necessary resources in order to provide the specific UMO service. A UMO framework profile description may be expressed in XML form as described in FIG. 8.

[102] - The resource element: includes information on an individual resource used in order to run the UMO software framework profile. The resource information supports comprehensive definitions on desired resources using "group:, "type" and "item" attributes in order to retrieve resources which may be divided into multilevel categories. The definition which is inclusive in about the resource it supports., "the group (group)", "uses a type (type)" and "an item (item)" attribute (attribute) in about the resources which are the possibility of becoming the configuration with multilevel category
[103] - "Group", "type" and "item" attributes of resource element: includes a classification code corresponding to each resource. An example of the resource classification code is described in FIG. 9.
[104] The above framework can be embodied into a terminal. That is, the operation and action of each function unit of the terminal may provide an ubiquitous service using optimal resources in an ubiquitous function type space.
[105] Accordingly, the terminal for implementing a ubiquitous service environment using a resource corresponding to a user's demand as a virtual resource includes a communication unit for communicating with a device in the ubiquitous service environment, a context information collection unit for collecting a context information from resources of an ubiquitous smart space through the communication unit, a storage unit for storing the context information, a resource selection unit for selecting an optimal resource on the basis of the context information, and a resource environment setup unit for setting up a communication environment so as to compose the virtual resource with the optimal resource.
