  • 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.

  • This paper presents the concept of "interactive teleprompter", which provides the user with interaction with oneself or other users for live television broadcasts or smart mirrors. In such interactive applications, eye contacts between the user and the regenerated image or between the user and other persons are important in handling psychological processes or non-verbal communications. Unfortunately, it is not straightforward to address the eye contact issues with conventional combination of normal display and video camera. To address this problem, we propose an "interactive" teleprompter enhanced from conventional teleprompter devices. Our interactive teleprompter can recognize the user's gestures by applying infra-red (IR) depth sensor. This paper also presents test results for a beam splitter which plays a critical role for teleprompter and is designed to handle both visual light for RGB camera and IR for Depth sensor effectively.

  • The technology convergence of television, communication, and computing devices enables the rich social and entertaining experience through Smart TV in personal living space. The powerful smart TV computing platform allows to provide various user interaction interfaces like IR remote control, web based control, body gesture based control, etc. The presently used smart TV interaction user control methods are not efficient and user-friendly to access different type of media content and services and strongly required advanced way to control and access to the smart TV with easy user interface. This paper propose the optical wireless communication (OWC) based remote controller design for Smart TV using smart device Flashlights. In this approach, the user smart device act as a remote controller with touch based interactive smart device application and transfer the user control interface data to smart TV trough Flashlight using visible light communication method. The smart TV built-in camera follows the optical camera communication (OCC) principle to decode data and control smart TV user access functions according. This proposed method is not harmful as radio frequency (RF) radiation does it on human health and very simple to use as well user does need to any gesture moves to control the smart TV.

  • The switch from analog to digital broadcast television is extended rapidly. The DTV can offer multiple programming choices, interactive capabilities and so on. Moreover, with the spread of Internet, the information exchange between the communities is increasing, too. These facts lead to the new TV service environment which can offer customized TV programs to personal/community users. This paper proposes a 'Customized Digital TV System for Individuals/Communities based on Data Stream Mining' which can analyze user's pattern of TV watching behavior. Due to the characteristics of TV program data stream and EPG(electronic program guide), the data stream mining methods are employed in the proposed system. When a user is watching DTV, the proposed system can control the surrounding circumstances as using the user behavior profiles. Furthermore, the channel recommendation system on the smart phone environment is proposed to utilize the profiles widely.

  • As traditional ways of evaluation prove to be ineffective in evaluating the effect of interactive multimedia physical education (PE) teaching, this study develops a new evaluation model based on the simulated annealing algorithm. After the evaluation subjects and the principle of the evaluation system are determined, different subjects are well chosen to constitute the evaluation system and given the weight. The backpropagation neural network has been improved through the simulated annealing algorithm, whose improvement indicates the completion of the evaluation model. Simulation results show that the evaluation model is highly efficient. Compared with traditional evaluation models, the proposed one enhances students' performance in PE classes by 50%.

  • 인터랙티브 TV 시장이 활성화됨에 따라 DCATV와 IPTV의 경쟁이 본격화되면서 사용성에 직접적인 영향을 주는 인터페이스에 대한 관심도 증대되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구는 인터랙티브 TV의 서비스 및 인터페이스에 대한 사용자의 멘탈모델을 이해하는 것을 목적으로 진행하였다. 연구 방법은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 문헌 조사를 통해 인터랙티브 TV의 2가지 유형인 DCATV와 IPTV의 기술적 차이점과 서비스 동향을 파악하였다. 둘째, 헬로우TV, C&M, 브로드앤TV, 쿡TV, 마이 엘지TV 등 인터랙티브 TV의 사례들을 비교분석 하였다. 셋째, 헬로우TV를 중심으로 사용성 평가를 실시하고 그 결과를 종합 분석하였다. 이를 통해 본 연구에서는 DCATV와 IPTV의 서비스 및 인터페이스에 대한 사용자 멘탈모델이 다르다는 것을 파악할 수 있었다. 특히 실시간으로 방송되는 '케이블TV채널'과 요청에 따라 다운로드 되는 'VOD'라는 두 가지 서비스는 인터랙션 방식과 제공 단위에 있어서 상이하며, 따라서 개념적 혼란을 야기할 수 있다. IPTV와 달리 두 가지 서비스를 함께 제공하는 DCATV에서는 대부분의 사용자들은 2가지의 멘탈모델을 병립시키지 못해 인지적 혼란을 느꼈고 VOD서비스에 대해서도 정확히 이해하지 못했다. 이는 VOD 명칭에 대해 어려움을 느끼는 것으로 생각되며 VOD명칭에 대한 개선이 필요했다. 이에 새롭게 변화된 쿡TV에서는 VOD란 명칭을 TV다시보기로 개선함으로써 명칭 개선이 필요함을 증명했다. 이러한 발견 점은 차후 인터랙티브 TV의 인터페이스 개발시 컨셉 개발을 위한 기초 자료로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • In this paper, we present a method to customize the ground color in outdoor sports video to provide TV viewers with a better viewing experience or subjective satisfaction. This issue, related to content personalization, is becoming critical with the advent of mobile TV and interactive TV. In outdoor sports video, such as soccer video, it is sometimes observed that the ground color is not satisfactory to viewers. In this work, the proposed algorithm is focused on customizing the ground color to deliver a better viewing experience for viewers. The algorithm comprises three modules: ground detection, shot classification, and ground color customization. We customize the ground color by considering the difference between ground colors from both input video and the target ground patch. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme offers useful tools to provide a more comfortable viewing experience and that it is amenable to real-time performance, even in a software-based implementation.
