Objective: This paper focuses on the new trend of applying NUI(natural user interface) such as gesture interaction into television and investigates on the design improvement needed in application. The intention is to find better design direction of NUI on television context, which will contribute to making new features and behavioral changes occurring in next-generation television more practically usable and meaningful use experience elements. Background: Traditional television is rapidly evolving into next-generation television thanks to the influence of "smartness" from mobile domain. A number of new features and behavioral changes occurred from such evolution are on their way to be characterized as the new experience elements of next-generation television. Method: A series of expert review by television UX professionals based on AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) was conducted to check on the "relative appropriateness" of applying gesture interaction to a number of selected television user experience scenarios. Conclusion: It is critical not to indiscriminately apply new interaction techniques like gesture into television. It may be effective in demonstrating new technology but generally results in poor user experience. It is imperative to conduct consistent validation of its practical appropriateness in real context. Application: The research will be helpful in applying gesture interaction in next-generation television to bring optimal user experience in.

Digital TV broadcasting technology is recognized as a very encouraging technological development by koreans because of high-definition, multi-channel and interactive services which would broaden the viewers choice and promote people's prosperity. The technological development of digital TV service is a drastic change for people's convenience and would be a major media of‘e-government’in Korea. Digital TV Program UI will affect to people's esthetic sense and information efficiency. The information search pattern in TV is different from it of computer which has lead interactive media so far This research verifies the reasonable information display method through the usability test based on former related researches. For the case study, Interactive EPG design of SkyLife is selected and reviewed. This research includes the design development of interactive EPG of DVB-MHP.

In this paper, we present the results of two studies on Social TV. In one study, meaning and possibility of TV as social media was theoretically studied and based on this meaning, we reviewed existing social TV systems and literatures. By doing this, we could extract the conditions and issues raised by designing Social TV's user experience. Based on our analysis, we could conclude with elements which are (1) channel communication, (2) Co-viewing experience, (3) Interaction Devices and elements, (4) Personalized contents browsing and selecting, (5) Accessibility and usability (6) User interface design.

Purpose - Because of the development of smartphone and communication technology, Smart TV programs are filled with various contents and applications. This study included additional individual variables like innovativeness and self-efficacy, and characteristics of smart TV are both user-interface and function as exogenous factors based on TAM model. So, this study focuses on identifying the influencing factors of continuous use intention of smart TV traits and user ones and analyzing how they make influences on them in China market. Research design, data, and methodology - Totally 182 samples were adopted as appropriate ones for analysis in this study. They were collected from 20 February 2016 to 10 March 2016. Results - The results are as follows. First, function has positive influence on perceived usefulness. Second, innovation and user-interface make affirmative influences on perceived easiness. Third, perceived easiness has affirmative influence on perceived usefulness. Fourth, the perceived easiness and perceived usefulness make positive ones on continuous use intention. Fifth, perceived ease of use affects significantly on perceived usefulness. Conclusions - According to the findings, they (smart TV traits and user traits), influencing on continuous use intention, are possible to give significant implications on persistent development in China smart TV market.

In this paper, we design and implement verification and interface application for interactive data broadcasting middleware. This application implements ACAP and OCAP verification item according to their types (format, protocol. resource, presentation). Therefore, using this application, we can verify whether digital settop-boxes used in digital terrestrial television and digital cable television conforms to the ACAP and OCAP standards. In this paper, we evaluate our proposed application using TVPLUSiTM verifier which can verify interactive TV application in real broadcasting environment. Through performance evaluation, we show that the DTB-H650F set-top-box supports OCAP and ACAP standard 80% and 95%, respectively.

This study is about the TV Electronic Program Guide (EPG) design to which Perceived Information Architecture (PIA) based on user-experience is applied. The function-oriented information architecture is not friendly for user to search channels, while Multi-channels of EPG system provides users with opportunities to select a variety of channels. Because the menu structure of EPG user interface system is not compatible with the user experience. Therefore, this study presented a user-experience-based methodology and proposed a new solution for the information architecture of user-centered EPG system design.

The Next-generation IT technology has been evolving from single technique to another which has merged, converging characteristics. The government categorized the 5 essential technologies to secure competitiveness in designing system semiconductors as smart motor vehicle info-tainment platform, smart TV multimedia system, smart phone analog interface technique, smart convergence digital communication and RF techniques, and advanced power management for smart devices. Also, it designated smart phone, smart TV, smart motor vehicle, and smart pad as the key industries. Such core techniques will become the key technologies of semiconductor design to secure the competitiveness of the next generation smart devices and the techniques can be transferred to fab-less design companies. In this contribution, we analyze the issues and the problems of the smart phone analog and interface techniques.

디지털 방송의 시작과 함께, TV화면에서 채널이나 프로그램을 직접 검색할 수 있는 EPG(Electronic Program Guide)라는 새로운 방송 서비스가 제공되고 있다. 그러나 아직까지는 시청자 입장을 고려한 EPG의 User Interface에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. TV는 특정 계층이 아닌 모든 사람이 시청하는 매체이의로 시청자에게 프로그램을 쉽게 찾게 하기 위해서는 단순하고 직관적인 User Interface가 필요하다. 이러한 User Interface를 설계하기 위해서는 많은 채널에서 방송되고 있는 프로그램을 체계적으로 구분학 수 있는 정보구조와 정보구조들을 유연하게 연결시킬 수 있는 Navigation의 설계가 필요하다. 일반적으로 프로그램을 구분하는 방법으로 장르, 시간, 등급, 프로그램의 내용 등과 같은 속성을 이용한다. 하지만 이러한 속성들은 체계적으로 구조화되어 있지 않다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 EPG는 프로그램이 가지는 속성들을 체계적으로 정리해 구조화하고, 이렇게 구조화된 속성들을 시청자들이 쉽게 선택해 원하는 프로그램을 찾을 수 있는 유연한 Navigation을 설계함으로써 기존의 EPG보다 쉽고 빠르게 프로그램을 검색 학 수 있는 User Interface를 제안하고자 한다.

TV의 형식이 아날로그에서 디지털로 바뀌면서 TV 상에서 실질적인 정보교류가 가능하게 되었다. 이에 따라 TV에서의 사용자 인터페이스(UI) 요소가 증가하였고 사용자는 더욱 복잡하고 어려운 환경에서 기기를 조작해야 하는 불편함을 낳게 되었다. 그 결과 실제로 제품의 품질문제가 증가하여 품질비용이 늘어나는 문제를 야기시키고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 자사의 품질관리 정보와 타사 및 자사 DTV의 리모컨 및 OSD에 대한 UI 리서치를 통하여 정립할 필요성이 있는 사용성 이슈(usability issues)를 도출하고 그에 따라 각 사용성 이슈에 대한 각 사 제품간 사용성 비교평가를 수행하여 나온 결과를 바탕으로 최적화된 DTV 리모컨 레이아웃 및 DTV 리모컨 UI Design Guideline 그리고 소프트웨어 개발을 위한 정보구조와 Workflow 표준안을 제작하였으며, 연구결과의 반영은 DTV 제품의 전반적인 사용성 향상 및 품질문제 저감에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
