A system, method, and computer program product for enabling mediated access to information controlled by one or more information repositories by one or more application service providers. The information controlled by the one or more information repositories is associated with one or more subscribers of information-based services offered by the one or more application service providers.

System, method, and computer program products for enabling trusted access to information in a diverse service environment

In a network of devices having a plurality of local domains, each local domain is likely to comprise a plurality of networks or communities of devices that communicate using a shared native protocol such as Jini, UPnP, Bluetooth, HAVi, WiFi, WiMAX or other standard architectures and protocols. The Open Services Gateway initiative (OSGi) created a platform and method for various networks to communicate with one another in a local domain. OSGi does not, however, solve the problems associated with communication across local domains. An instant messaging protocol such as Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and a remote services register are used to provide a means for communication between local devices in a plurality of local OSGi domains using native communications protocols.

Bridging local device communications across the wide area

Customer premise network configuration to enable a new service within the network is provided by a network configuration manager. The network configuration manager is either manually or automatically invoked upon a new service being used in the network. The configuration manager obtains a service template for the service, which template provides generic end-to-end requirements for enabling the service. A configuration generator generates vendor-neutral device-configuration settings from the service template. A service configuration validator module then validates the service. Finally, an adaptor module translates the vendor-neutral device-configuration settings to vendor specific configuration settings corresponding to the devices in the network and configures the devices.
