The emergence of Interactive Digital Television (iDTV) opened a set of technological possibilities that go beyond those offered by conventional TV. Among these opportunities we can highlight interactive contents that run together with linear TV program (television service where the viewer has to watch a scheduled TV program at the particular time it is offered and on the particular channel it is presented on). However, developing interactive contents for this new platform is not as straightforward as, for example, developing Internet applications. One of the options to make this development process easier and safer is to use an iDTV simulator. However, after having investigated some of the existing iDTV simulation environments, we have found a limitation: these simulators mainly present solutions focused on the TV receiver, whose interactive content must be loaded in advance by the programmer to a local repository (e.g., Hard Drive, USB). Therefore, in this paper, we propose a tool, named BiS (Broadcast iDTV content Simulator), which makes possible a broader solution for the simulation of interactive contents. It allows simulating the transmission of interactive content along with the linear TV program (simulating the transmission of content over the air and in broadcast to the receivers). To enable this, we defined a generic and easy-to-customize communication protocol that was implemented in the tool. The proposed environment differs from others because it allows simulating reception of both linear content and interactive content while running Java applications to allow such a content presentation.

“…Augmented broadcasting is used to broadcast enhanced content on a large TV screen while AR on a mobile device augments additional graphical content onto an input image from the device's own camera to provide useful and convenient information for users, enabling viewers to watch mixed broadcasting content only when they want the service and to watch original broadcasting content when they do not. We previously presented the concept and model for augmented broadcasting and implemented a testbed system, its relevant elements based on PC platforms, and an Intranet without a real broadcasting transmission scheme [3]- [4]. To realize an augmented broadcasting service in a real broadcasting environment, the most important issue is that of trying to resolve hybrid content synchronization over heterogeneous broadcast and broadband networks.…”

As a new hybrid broadcasting service, augmented broadcasting shows enhanced broadcasting content on a large TV screen, while augmented reality (AR) on a mobile device augments additional graphical content onto an input image from the device's own camera to provide useful and convenient information for users. A one‐sided broadcasting service using AR has already been attempted in virtual advertisements during sport broadcasts. However, because its augmentation is preprocessed before the video image is transmitted, the viewer at home may have no influence on this formation; and no interaction for the user is possible unless the viewer has a direct connection to the content provider. Augmented broadcasting technology enables viewers to watch mixed broadcasting content only when they want such service and to watch original broadcasting content when they do not. To realize an augmented broadcasting service, the most important issue is to resolve the hybrid content synchronization over heterogeneous broadcast and broadband networks. This paper proposes a novel hybrid content synchronization scheme for an augmented broadcasting service and presents its implementation and results in a terrestrial DTV environment.

“…1. TVA element tree can be expressed as an acyclic tree composed of the el- services, then they have only to transmit metadata which contains the fields related to three tables to display EPG for a TV contents guide [9]- [11]. In this case, it is recommended to customize the TVA schema according to the service provider's policies because a TVA schema consists of redundant elements unnecessarily describing broad kinds of services and contents.…”
