This study was surveyed by using seven variables with two stems of contents-wise aspect and systematic aspect, entertainment, user-oriented contents supply, data up data, useful information supply are the elements of contents-wise aspect and systematic stabilization, convenience of access. Promptness of response are for systematic aspect. Results : First, entertainment is the first variable of interactive contents for user to choose IPTV and useful information supply is the second. Also contents wise aspect is more related than the other. Second, The high quality of entertainment, user-oriented contents supply, useful information supply systematic stabilization, convenience of access, promptness of response are required to enhance the satisfaction of IPTV user Among them. convenience of access is the most valuable factor for user to choose IPTV.

In a competitive media environment, Internet Protocol television (IPTV) has gained appeal because of its essential characteristics, 'Internet and Interactivity'. Our study aims to explore predictors that affect IPTV-VOD adoption within the context of competing media (i.e., existing multi-channel video programming services, such as cable television and digital broadcasting satellite services). In addition, this study examines if IPTV-VOD functions as a substitute for existing multi-channel services, such as cable television and direct broadcasting satellite services. A self-report survey through face-to-face interviews was conducted in Seoul metropolitan area and other six big cities. Our findings showed that primary factors for adopting an IPTV-VOD are: age of user, subjective importance of terrestial broadcasting services, real-time terrestrial broadcasting services, and other interactive service characteristics, such as time-shifting. Also, IPTV-VOD services were found to be a substitute for existing multi-channel video programming services.

Since two-way interactive broadcasting service began, remote controls have been fitted with 4 color buttons, which enables interaction and convenience to increase between users and content. Currently, diverse studies on IPTV are in progress. Particularly, as the mobile market rapidly grows, studies on mobile IPTV and on linkage with other media are constantly increasing. However, mobile IPTV has never been studied until now. In that sense, this present study attempted to design a mobile-based IPTV UI that could use a multi-dimensional search method based on consistent criteria for content search. As a result, the proposed IPTV UI is fitted with more usability and functionality for 4 color buttons. The UI designed in this study was compared to the IMDb Android Application, which uses GOMS-KLM. The results showed that the performance process was reduced by three stages, and that the performance time was reduced by more than 17.9%. Therefore, the conclusion can be reached that the proposed UI is effective for a fast search of contents.

Since the inception of Internet Protocol TV's real-time service on January, 2009, technological challenges and lack of content diversity of IPTV have been cited as problem areas. While past researches focused on IPTV's technological, industrial and policy facets, this research surveyed the viewers' viewing and usage patterns, and the level of service satisfaction among actual audiences of MegaTV, SKBroadband, and LGTV since January. The results show that subscription fee and content types were the two dominant determinants in audience's choice of a particular IPTV company. The high users of IPTV were on average aged between 30-39, and women tended to be heavier users than men. The surveyed audience also regarded IPTV to be more similar to the Internet than any other medium such as Cable TV and Satellite TV. IPTV audience cited 'lifestyle service' and 'additional service' offerings to be highly relevant to their usage and satisfaction; interactive service and educational service also showed high correlation to usage and satisfaction. The most watched contents on IPTV were domestic TV series, followed by foreign movies and variety shows. 'Fees for additional features,' 'lack of real-time terrestrial TV service', and 'lack of content variety' were the major areas of concern for IPTV viewers. They answered that the monthly fee was the most important factor in the selection of IPTV. Use of pay-per-view contents and add-on interactive service fees were also seen as problematic. With regards to future usage, the IPTV audience revealed that they were very sensitive and reluctant to pay for additional services. While existing researches concentrated on IPTV's technological problems and lack of content diversity, this study illuminated the more pragmatical side of the viewers, namely, the importance of price in audience's selection of an IPTV service provider. From these results, it is recommended that, before doing anything else, the service providers try to meet the audience's expected price points in order to garner the full potential of IPTV and the attendant mass audience.

The convergence of the telecommunication industry through the combination of existing network technology and multimedia technology has brought along interactive data services in addition to the traditional broadcast services by providing direct connections between the users and the broadcasters. The interactive data service technology has developed a network which is able to fully support QoS and also a fast enough channel changing technology that is satisfactory to the user, are prerequisites for IPTV success, to provide satisfactory levels of service to exist users. However the current server-client system can't support all increasing needs of users. To overcome these limitations, P2P based IPTV service is currently under researched. Therefore, this thesis proposes a logical view based copy-ahead technique for P2P IPTV to improve the performance of IPTV system.

Edutainment is the one of important factors to study interactive TV for children, and it is a big portion in kid's marketing and education market as well. The aim of this study is to design interactive TV for children to maximize edutainment effects by researching children's behaviors. The analysis of children's behaviors with educational effects should be focused to apply designing user experience to propose new ideas of interactive TV. Through observing children's behaviors and interaction with other media, such as books, CD players, digital camera, and so on, TV can be reanalyzed as reliable media, which is creative interactive TV for children with proposals of user experience structure and interaction solution. TV has been changed from analog TV to IPTV and it will be different with network and interactive solution.

The IPTV Service provides various interactive services beyond the level of being able to substitute cable TV. The IPTV system is to be decentralized gradually in which one server conducts all tasks. Primarily, deliberation of media needs to be changed into a system in which relayer and peer from the central server is utilized. Secondarily, the way of controling IPTV network need to be decentralized. Unlike the current client-server system, P2P(Peer To Peer), the main technology of decentralized IPTV is able to provide a service by cooperation of each node. Dealing with live streaming IPTV system which is based on the P2P protocol, this paper design the pure P2P IPTV structure and does verify the performance of P2P IPTV structure by realizing real system.

Mobile IPTV is a IPTV interactive broadcasting service through wireless Internet. Mobile IPTV service would be much more promoted. Thus, the methods for protecting the broadcasting contents will be indispensible elements for the successful Mobile IPTV service achievement. This paper describes the characteristics of Mobile IPTV and the related contents protection techniques. To evaluate several security issues, we suggest a DCAS security framework model for Mobile IPTV, and speculate the most widespread, a security technologies for Mobile IPTV such as DCSA. Moreover, candidate models of Mobile IPTV protection system are suggested based on these technologies.

As digital convergence evolves, it is expected that the market of IP-based services like VoIP and IPTV will be expanded. In particular, IPTV market is expected to attract consumers' attention through various interactive services offering a variety of experiences to consumers. Interactivity sets apart old media from new one in terms of how to mediate effects of user satisfaction. The object of this study is to investigate (1) multi-dimensional Interactivities in an interactive medium based on IP and relationship among them, and (2) significant factors affecting cognitive absorption of interactive media users. This study aims to provide implications on how to develop strategies for IP-based media including e-learning system.
