Project description:

UAB “Elsis PRO” together with  „Elsis TS“  and scientists from the Centre of Real Time Computer Systems (CRTCS) of KTU Faculty of Informatics implemented the Project “Smart Home Service Development and Management System (“SNAPAS”) and the prototype of services provided on its Basis”.

SNAPAS – is a platform (hardware and software infrastructure) of new generation interactive services provided to “smart homes”.

SNAPAS system is aimed at providing digital services through different communication channels – broadband internet communication, local computer networks, and networks of mobile communications operators. The use of the internet communication channels for the overall connection makes the system geographically autonomous enabling to offer, design and maintain services from any place, at any (real) time and to everybody (“smart home” equipment).

SNAPAS system service groups:

  1. management of energy resources and home comfort (resource accounting, settlement, management of systems according to set parameters);
  2. home security (response in cases of housebreaking, fire, water, gas leakage, interruption of power supply);
  3. e.commerce (integration of online stores, searching for goods and services, ordering in online stores);
  4. provision of digital content and entertainments (media centre, interactive TV, VoD, games, distance learning);
  5. health care (telemedicine, tele-consultations, nursing and care services);
  6. building maintenance and administration (collection of data, monitoring and control of dwelling engineering systems, dispatching control);
  7. public services (advertising, information, survey, voting terminals in public places);
  8. specialised services (TV metres, market research, sociological surveys, etc.);

The main functional participants of SNAPAS system are the manager, provider, designer and user of the services.
