Design of a Data Auto-select System using Data Catalog for Smart Home

Following the popularization of the connected device and home appliance, the market of smart home service is changing to an open mode from the mode that all develop by device makers. It will produce many of service developers to acquire data from device makers, and develop services and provide to end-users. But device makers do not have a uniform data description model and a uniform interface. Furthermore, the number of data will be billions, lead to discover the useful data by people is difficult. Therefore, in this research, we proposed a system that can use the data catalog to get data from heterogeneous architecture device clouds, provide by machine-readable interface and human-readable interface. And the system has a data auto-select mechanism to solve the problem that people difficult to discover useful data efficiently from billions of data. And validate the proposed system is effective.
