“…Furthermore younger members of the household, despite their frequent reliance on PCs and the Internet for entertainment purposes, also make use of the TV as or in support of social activities, though their parents often have first say in what is watched [12]. Williams et al [23] have also conducted research in this area, as part of the TA2 EU funded project. They involved 16 families across four European countries (Sweden, Netherlands, Germany and the UK) to study their social communications habits.…”

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. KeywordsInteractive Television, user studies, media use in the home, sharing media, experimental device, user experience.

“…In a similar way, microblog users are interacting with each other before and after watching TV or movies. As an active node with communication and distribution capabilities, the television viewer might want to communicate with others while watching in order to leave notes and comments for friends at specific moments of a television show [5]- [7]. TV ratings are important for content providers since the price of advertising is calculated based on it.…”

Exploring Time Aware Features in Microblog to Measure TV Ratings

SUMMARYIn measuring TV ratings, some features can be significant at a certain time, whereas they can be meaningless in other time periods. Because the importance of features can change, a model capturing the time changing relevance is required in order to estimate TV ratings more accurately. Therefore, we focus on the time-awareness of features, particularly the time when the words of tweets are used. We develop a correlationbased, time-aware feature selection algorithm which finds the optimal time period of each feature, and the estimation method using e-SVR based on top-n-features that are ordered by correlation. We identify that the correlation values between features and TV ratings vary according to the time of postings -before and after the broadcast time. This implies that the relevance of features can change according to the time of the tweets. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method has better performance compared with the method based on count-based features. This result implies that understanding the time-dependency of features can be helpful in improving the accuracy of measuring TV ratings.

Inclusion of content with temporal behavior in a structured documents leads to such a document gaining temporal semantics. If we then allow changes to the document during its presentation, this brings with it a number of fundamental issues that are related to those temporal semantics. In this paper we study modifications of active multimedia documents and the implications of those modifications for temporal consistency. Such modifications are becoming increasingly important as multimedia documents move from being primarily a standalone presentation format to being a building block in a larger application. We present a categorization of modification operations, where each category has distinct consistency and implementation implications for the temporal semantics. We validate the model by applying it to the SMIL language, categorizing all possible editing operations. Finally, we apply the model to the design of a teleconferencing application, where multimedia composition is only a small component of the whole application, and needs to be reactive to the rest of the system. The primary contribution of this paper is the development of a temporal editing model and a general analysis which we feel can help application designers to structure their applications such that the temporal impact of document modification can be minimized. Categories and Subject Descriptors General TermsDesign, Experimentation, Languages. KeywordsDeclarative languages, Dynamic transformations, Multimedia application design. INTRODUCTIONIn the first generation of multimedia documents, the document format served as a simple transport wrapper for a byte stream of content. In the second generation, the document often contained additional temporal, styling and structuring primitive that allowed the transformation for interoperable playback on compliant multimedia players and some user interaction. In both cases, the multimedia content is dynamic, temporally and spatially constrained by the document, but the document itself is static: the relationships described by it do not change. Currently, multimedia documents are entering a new generation: the document is embedded as part of a larger application, where the content of the document may be adapted during rendering time, based on the needs and directives of the embedding application. These adaptations can change the underlying multimedia data, but also the general presentation structure. Examples of such applications include live editing of broadcast content [10] and interactive multimedia applications that make use of Web services [11]. In this paper, we use the term multimedia transformations to refer to the process of adapting various aspects of a multimedia document while it is playing.A representative example of dynamic multimedia applications is a video conferencing system that allows multiparty playing of an electronic board game [23].
