Abstract
We propose devices management software on home network for informational support to residents in home that provides pervasive computing environments. Today, many different devices that present information to residents are installed in homes. When an application program executes informational supports, the program needs to choose the device suited to the situation. To solve the problem how to choose the device used for the support, the program need to consider the position and the posture of the residents observed by sensors, and the form of the information presented to the residents. The device management software can decide which device to use based on functional and spatial property data in administration server of the home. By the software, programs can execute informational supports easily without depending on home environment.
