A Lightweight Mobile TV Recommender

Towards a One-Click-to-Watch Experience

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 5066))

Abstract

In this paper we present a novel program recommender for DVB-H based Mobile TV systems. It addresses the restriction of low processing resources on the client devices and is fully compliant to the OMA BCAST standard. There is no learning phase included and hence users can instantly start using the system. Based on the proposed, highly scalable architecture design we implemented a prototype application that employs a powerful, though minimal, mobile user interface.
