Resumo


Designing Interactive Digital TV (iDTV) applications is a challenging activity, due to the restrictions of having the remote control as the main and in most cases the only input device for those applications. Users of iDTV applications are used to an environment where constant concentration and intervention is not needed, so applications requiring much interaction are unfamiliar to them. Personalized applications, which behave accordingly to the context of their execution, including user's habits and preferences, tends to require less interaction. Developing such applications is however burdensome, due to the lack of tools for designing and developing the personalized behavior using contextual information. ConnecTV fills this void by combining a component-based approach to develop such applications and a runtime environment to run and give additional support to their execution.
