Title
Mu: channel UI to optimize the widget control in internet tv
Abstract
Widgets are no-frills, quick-access, single-function applications whose simplicity and ease of use make them a viable option for deploying web services on TVs. In this paper, we propose a channel-based widget interface for TVs. When it comes to TVs, radios and other devices, channel is the most established and familiar control method. Accordingly, applications of this concept for IPTV will facilitate new web services while maintaining the traditional user experience. We also propose the channel-based interface that allocates web services to specific channels enabling the user to access services through the channels and add/delete web services. In addition to the web service interface, this paper introduces some design issues, channel allocation methods and, through comparative analysis against other current IPTVs, provides evidence to the improved accessibility of the proposed method.
