Abstract

Smart TV has been the most popular communication device since 2010. It is the multi-functional device conjugated a variety of features such as Apps, Web surfing, viewing VOD and so on. However, the contents and development tools for smart TV are still relatively small and research for game contents development tools is also insufficient. In this study, we are to design and develop a framework for developers to make Smart TV game contents easily. The STGF (Smart TV Game Framework) we developed is made up of 3 managers such as input manager, screen data process manager, and game status process manager. We verified the usefulness of STGF through developing "Pentomiro" App launched commercially in 2013. With STGF development time would be expected to be reduced, because we spend little time in basic development steps such as input, output, and data processing and error correction processing.

스마트 TV는 2010년 이후부터 대중적인 정보 전달 기기로 확고한 자리를 잡아가고 있다. TV의 기능이 기본적으로 들어 있기 때문에 사용자들의 디바이스 접근성이 높으며 각종 앱, 웹서핑, VOD 시청 등 다양한 기능을 활용할 수 있는 다기능 기기이다. 그러나 아직도 스마트 TV 콘텐츠의 수도 부족하고, 게임 콘텐츠 개발 도구에 관한 연구도 미흡한 실정이다. 본 논문은 게임 콘텐츠 개발자들이 쉽게 스마트 TV용 앱을 제작할 수 있도록 프레임워크를 개발하고자 한다. 본 논문에서 개발한 STGF (Smart TV Game Framework)는 입력처리 매니저, 화면 데이터 상태 처리 매니저, 게임 상태 처리 매니저로 구성된다. 2013년에 STGF를 적용해 개발한 "펜토미로"를 런칭하여 서비스함으로써 유용성을 보였다. STGF를 사용하여 개발을 하면 입력, 출력, 데이터처리 등의 개발 초기 작업과 오류 수정에 드는 시간을 줄일 수 있으므로 전체 개발 기간을 단축하는 효과를 기대할 수 있다.
