Focus
  • Enable new services on Interactive TV by using the 2G/3G network channels and context-aware applications
  • Personalized information to manage the content adaptation according to several criteria.
  • On demand services
  • Rich-Media protection (DRM and Conditional Access
Main Results
  • Analysis of value chain to develop competitive business models, regulation aspects, use cases and interactive services
  • Demonstration platform to validate reference architecture, interactive services, content adaptation, personalization and the DRM/CA. Prototype innovative terminal with ergonomic user interfaces
  • Provide security and DRM/CA interoperability through two different but inter-operable Mobile CA/DRM systems
Abstract
The Project, entitled “Mobile Video and Interactive Services”, will provide new interactive mobile services by combining two communication technologies: mobile cellular systems and digital broadcast. The project will focus on the co-operation of DVB-H and wireless networks (UMTS/ GPRS, WiMax). It will enable to provide complementary services based on existing broadcast services and services delivered with cellular networks. This project will enable to identify and develop cooperative and interactive applications.

A cooperation of both types of networks will enable to offer new services:

  • Interactive TV (e.g. TV shows with voting): The interactivity aspect will be dedicated to the use of the 2G/3G network channels and the development of context-aware applications (localization taking into account regulation aspects).
  • Personalized information (e.g. personalized advertising): The personalization aspect will be in charge of managing the content adaptation according to several criteria.
  • On demand services.
  •  Rich-Media protection (DRM and Conditional Access): An open solution with interoperability, liability, roaming / seamless aspects for the Conditional Access will be studied and developed.

The objectives of this project are:

  • the identification of the key business-enabling technologies and the analysis of business models impact on the global architecture,
  • the definition and the development of a service delivery platform for the interactive mobile broadcasting services with open interfaces,
  • the providing of inter-operable mobile Conditional Access/DRM systems,
  • the contribution to international standardization bodies (OMA, DVB forum,…).
