Extended Digital Video Broadcasting with Time-Lined Hypermedia

In recent years, digital broadcasting services have started up and spread all over the world. Digital broadcasting is one of the most promising infrastructures to provide interactive services aimed at consumers. However, the broadcast bandwidth has an upper bound limitation. This paper describes our proposition, a hypermedia model, called Time-lined Hypermedia, which is designed to provide a large hypermedia navigation space in a limited broadcast bandwidth. We also describe an implementation for time-lined hypermedia called Digital Video eXtension system.

“Smart life solutions” from home to city

Through advances in semiconductor and software technology, consumer-electronics products have achieved extraordinary performance, advanced functions and low-power operation at affordable prices, making our lives more convenient and enriched. In the future, all consumer-electronics products will cooperate over the network and connect to the cloud. The cost performance at the overall system level will continue to improve in accordance with Moores Law. This will enable the provision of system services based on personal tastes and lifestyle information, and the realization of energy efficiency that could not previously be obtained with only a single product in mind.
