“…In 1996 Robertson et al conducted a study employing a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) in conjunction with a TV and set-top box to demonstrate an estate agency service [24]. Also Karanastasi et al developed a prototype system that enables people to use mobile phones and PDAs to personalise and interact with a TV guide [25]. In their study Park et al made use of sketch-based conceptual design to investigate the control of TV in a multi-user context with mobile phones [26].…”

In this paper we report on a study conducted in 2007 and 2008 looking at the media use habits of 27 families in the Greater London area. The project builds on previous work studying media use within a similar group in 2006. The study investigated attitudes towards different types of media and the role Television (TV) currently plays and could play within the home environment. To facilitate the study we rapidly prototyped an experimental home media device and asked participants to use and respond to it. We explored issues of interactional simplicity and sharing media using a TV and employed the experimental device as a focal point for discussion and the generation of new ideas. Our key findings indicate a strong desire for services which support media presentation and consumption through the TV (combined with a suitable control device) and cater for social interaction within the home such as sharing photos and videos with other household members. In addition we found a strong user preference for services that offer fast and immediate access to specialised online activities, such as quick checks of e-mail accounts and social networking services.

“…In relation to standards for semantic modeling, significant work has been performed by the TV-Anytime Forum (based on MPEG-7) [125,126]. Interesting research in this area includes the UP-TV project [93,91]. This project presented a program guide that can be controlled and managed using personal devices (e.g., handheld devices).…”

“…Apart from annotation and manipulation, mobile devices have been used as extended remote controls for, for example, controlling the personal video recorder at home. Mobile devices can be used as a secondary and personal display at home that can be used for controlling interactive television (Figure 4.9), as presented elsewhere [40,91,93,156,176], and the convergence of mobile networks and interactive television [104,158]. In this respect, the work on PC/mobile phone convergence Regarding output devices, the industry has largely invested in two topics: high-definition television and mobile television.…”

Interactive TV research spans across a rather diverse body of scientific subfields. Research articles have appeared in several venues, such as multimedia, HCI, CSCW, UIST, user modeling, media and communication sciences. In this study, we explore the state-of-the-art and consider two basic issues: What is interactive TV research? Can it help us reinvent the practices of authoring, delivering, and watching TV? For this purpose, we have reviewed the research literature, as well as the industrial developments and identified three concepts that provide a high-level taxonomy of interactive TV research: (1) content editing, (2) content sharing, and (3) content control. We propose this simple taxonomy (edit-share-control) as an evolutionary step over the established hierarchical produce-deliver-consume paradigm. Moreover, we demonstrate how each disciplinary effort has contributed to and why the full potential of interactive TV has not yet been fulfilled. Finally, we describe how interdisciplinary approaches could provide solutions to some notable contemporary research issues. 'Interactive Television is an oxymoron. On the other hand, television provides the most common ground in our culture for ordinary conversation, which is arguably the most enjoyable interaction a person has. We should try to leverage the power of television while creating some channel back from the audience to provide content, control or just a little conversation.' * * Although we have tried to summarize previous research as much as possible, we still find that the quote by Dan O'Sullivan (Interactive Telecommunication program, New York University, Tisch School of the Arts) has been the most comprehensive definition of interactive television, so far.

“…Research in this area includes the UP-TV project [2], which presents a program guide that can be controlled and managed (e.g., delete programs) from personal handheld devices. Our work also studies navigation using personal devices, but focuses on a finer level of granularity: how fragments within a program can be managed and personalized, and then controlled using a variety of light-weight end-user devices.…”

Traditionally, an end-user has played only a passive role when viewing commercial media: he/she is expected to consume content, not interact with it. In this paper we explore advanced user interaction techniques in the home environment. One example of such advanced interaction is the creation of micro-personalized recommendations: messages that can be used as a basis for social sharing of third-party content. We describe a system for the distributed creation of micro-personal recommendations in a consumer electronics setting and show initial user testing results.
