Objective: The objective of this study was to suggest a multi-modal controller type for Smart TV Control. Background: Recently, many issues regarding the Smart TV are arising due to the rising complexity of features in a Smart TV. One of the specific issues involves what type of controller must be utilized in order to perform regulated tasks. This study examines the ongoing trend of the controller. Method: The selected participants had experiences with the Smart TV and were 20 to 30 years of age. A pre-survey determined the first independent variable of five tasks(Live TV, Record, Share, Web, App Store). The second independent variable was the type of controllers(Conventional, Mouse, Voice-Based Remote Controllers). The dependent variables were preference, task completion time, and error rate. The experiment consist a series of three experiments. The first experiment utilized a uni-modal Controller for tasks; the second experiment utilized a dual-modal Controller, while the third experiment utilized a triple-modal Controller. Results: The first experiment revealed that the uni-modal Controller (Conventional, Voice Controller) showed the best results for the Live TV task. The second experiment revealed that the dual-modal Controller(Conventional-Voice, Conventional-Mouse combinations) showed the best results for the Share, Web, App Store tasks. The third experiment revealed that the triple-modal Controller among all the level had not effective compared with dual-modal Controller. Conclusion: In order to control simple tasks in a smart TV, our results showed that a uni-modal Controller was more effective than a dual-modal controller. However, the control of complex tasks was better suited to the dual-modal Controller. User preference for a controller differs according the Smart TV functions. For instance, there was a high user preference for the uni-Controller for simple functions while high user preference appeared for Dual-Controllers when the task was complex. Additionally, in accordance with task characteristics, there was a high user preference for the Voice Controller for channel and volume adjustment. Furthermore, there was a high user preference for the Conventional Controller for menu selection. In situations where the user had to input text, the Voice Controller had the highest preference among users while the Mouse Type, Voice Controller had the highest user preference for performing a search or selecting items on the menu. Application: The results of this study may be utilized in the design of a controller which can effectively carry out the various tasks of the Smart TV.

We propose an interworking architecture between a smart TV and a smart phone. This architecture provides control mechanism for the newly adopted App on Smart-TV with smart phone. The general method connecting between a smart phone and a mobile AP is very carefully complex and troublesome procedure. The mobile AP transfers data from a smart phone to a smart TV after getting the connection. Connecting procedure between a smart phone and a mobile AP is therefore necessary operation. We worked out the new procedure and control method that acquires some information from Near Field Communication or Quick Reference codes for connecting between a smart TV and a smart phone. Our proposed architecture was confirmed practical possibility as user-oriented automatic connection and simple manipulation for control a kiosk or various display equipment.

현재 가장 활발히 이용되고 있는 음악 검색 서비스는 스마트폰의 앱(App) 형태로 사용자에게 배포되고 있다. 사용자는 스마트폰의 마이크에 자신의 주위에 들리는 음악을 직접 검색 소스로 입력함으로써 검색 작업을 수행한다. 일반 가정에서 사용자가 즉흥적으로 음악 검색을 수행하고자 하는 경우는 주로 TV 시청 중에 발생한다. 그러나 최근 널리 보급되고 있는 스마트TV의 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어 능력이 충분한 상황에서, 별도의 스마트폰을 이용하여 음악을 검색하는 것은 매우 비효율적이다. 따라서 본 논문은 사용자가 외부 검색 장비에 의존하지 않더라도, 스마트TV에서 자체적으로 현재 시청중인 영상에 삽입된 배경음악을 실시간으로 검색하여주는 서비스를 제안한다.

Recently, IoT applications are being deployed in Smart TVs, and these IoT applications are using smart TVs as application platforms rather than broadcast platforms. With the advent of Hybrid broadcast technologies, now it becomes available to develop IoT applications which are coupled to the broadcast information. However, the existing IoT services are not suitable for Hybrid broadcast application since they are built on cloud and require various protocol implementations. In this paper, a Fog Computing-based architecture for hybrid broadcast application is proposed. Instead of accessing IoT services from hybrid broadcast app directly, the proposed architecture places Fog Applet Server between them and distribute loads of hybrid broadcast app to the Fog Applet. The proposed architecture is implemented as a service to control IoT device with hybrid application.

스마트TV는 스마트폰과 달리 가족이 사용하는 디바이스로 인식되고 있다. 그러나 스마트TV도 SNS(Social Networking Service), 웹 서비스 등 가족인 아닌 개인 단위로 사용하는 앱(application)뿐만 아니라 각 개인마다 선호하는 게임을 포함한 앱(application), VOD 리스트, TV 채널 등이 다르다고 볼 수 있다. 그리하여 스마트TV에서도 개인 맞춤형 사용자 인터페이스가 필요하다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 스마트TV 환경에서 기존 윈도우 로그인 시스템처럼 개인만의 맞춤형 사용자 인터페이스를 제시한다. 그리하여 각각의 사용자들은 개인만의 환경에서 앱(application)을 실행하거나 TV를 볼 수 있다. 기존 연구되고 있는 채널 네비게이션 기법을 토대로 VOD list, 게임을 포함한 앱(App)을 개인 맞춤형 인터페이스로 보다 편리하게 사용할 수 있는 방법도 제시한다. 채널 네비게이션은 로그인한 각 자신만의 환경에서 사용자가 과거에 시청한 TV 채널을 조사하여 많이 시청한 TV 채널을 보여 주게 한다. 그리하여 보다 자신이 선호하는 채널을 쉽게 시청할 수 있다. 이와 더불어 VOD 리스트와 게임을 포함한 앱(application)을 과거에 시청하거나 사용했던 패턴을 분석하고 선호하는 VOD 리스트와 앱(application)을 예측하여 보여주어 개인의 맞춤형 인터페이스에서 보다 빠르게 접근이 가능하며 편리하게 사용할 수 있다.

Recently, many kinds of TV contents based on multimedia need transmission systems without the saved. In this study, we develop the streaming device and smart app to transmit and play without store for multimedia contents such a broadcasting, internet, VOD, video, and animation. To do this, we compare and analysis main CPU products, broadcasting tuners and interfaces for streaming sources, and memory products. We then design and implement the streaming device which supports 30fps@FHD H.264 decoding and streaming, and multimedia sources with more than three. We develop the software for these requirements. Thissystemis useful to support billing service for multimedia contents.

We compare Over-the-Tops (OTTs), Netflix and Amazon Prime Video (APV) with five success factors of innovation. Firstly, Netflix offers better personalized service than APV, because APV has collaborative filtering algorithms to recommend safe bets, not the customers really want. Secondly, APV' user interface is undercooked to lock the members in, even if it has more content and better price offer than Netflix retaining its loyal customers despite the price increase. Thirdly, Netflix has simple subscription model with three tiering, but APV has complicated pricing model having annual and monthly, APV and Prime Video (AV) app, Amazon subscription and extra payment of Amazon Prime Channels (APCs). Fourthly, Amazon has fewer partnership than Netflix especially when it comes to local TV series. Instead, Amazon has live TV channel collaboration including sports content. Lastly, both have strategic and operational agility in their organization well.

In this paper, we have developed an app that can control IPTV - Miracast and the Internet with Android 7.0 on the embedded board. The app can be controlled by the remote control of IPTV and can receive TV when using IPTV. And Miracast and Embedded board are put into the power saving mode. When one mode is selected in this way, the other two modes enter the power saving mode and the power saving control technology is applied to reduce energy consumption. The board used in this paper was Android version 7.1.2 version of Raspberry pie 3B / B + and Asus Tinker board s, and Android Studio program was used to make the app and a synchronization control program was also developed to operate with IPTV remote control. The operation of the Android start program using the power saving power control technology and the remote control synchronization control program developed in this way is confirmed to be normal operation as a result of applying to the actual IPTV.
