Android4TV: A proposition for integration of DTV in Android devices

Adaptive TR-069 system service for Android-based consumer electronic devices

“…Based on that solution, additional features were discussed and proposed [3] which led to Android becoming a considerable option for digital television sets in the future. Solution presented in this paper, inspired by previously elaborated system service [4], continued with improvements to the concept. As the concept of IoT (Internet of Things) becomes more present, it is assumed that Android will play a major role as operating system in it [5].…”

Java implementation of DTV services on the Android platform

“…Integration of DTV services in the Android OS is based on the Java DTV API proposed in [3]. The key component in the proposition is the DTV Manager, represented by the IDTVManager interface, as shown in the Fig.…”

“…Since Java is the preferred programming language for this OS, it is possible to use this language for the DTV application development. Papers [2] and [3] discuss the possibility of integrating DTV services into the Android OS on embedded devices, and give a proposition how to achieve that. Since it is possible to install DTV services into the Android OS, the natural choice for the implementation of DTV applications is the Java programming language.…”

“…The proposed DTV Java API relies on the software stack proposed in [3]. The DTV application is a Java application capable of performing video playback of transport stream, as well as displaying DTV-related data like EPG (Electronic Program Guides), teletext, etc.…”

Porting and integration of functionality required by HbbTV standard on Android based DTV platform

“…Considering that Android OS(Operating System) is designed and implemented on top of the embedded Linux kernel, this OS could be used as a platform for implementation of DTV receivers. The lack of support for DTV in Android OS and one example of implementation are discussed in [1].…”
