The cloud-based execution of the User Interface has already begun to disrupt the TV domain. Indeed, in European Hybrid TV Standard -Hybrid Broadcast Broadband (HbbTV) -the signaling of applications is terminated by special libraries on the client. Therefore, the cloud-based UI execution does directly affect the HbbTV. This work presents an architecture that enables the shift of HbbTV functionality into the Cloud. This is based on the decoupling of HbbTV application signaling and application execution on the client side. The shift is executed by defining new interfaces for HbbTV-to-cloud and cloud-to-device. This work describes possible approaches for such architectures, relevant open issues and corresponding challenges.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
