Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0028436A1] A server has access to an inventory of devices and capabilities on a user's home network. The inventory is for example a look-up service as provided by HAVi or Jini architecture. The server has also access to a data base with information of features for a network. The server determines if the synergy of the apparatus present on the user's network can be enhanced based on the listing of the inventory and on the user's profile. If there are features that are relevant to the synergy, based on these criteria, the user gets notified.
