Java implementation of DTV services on the Android platform

Abstract

This paper gives an overview of both specification and implementation details for integration of DTV services into the Android OS, using Java programming language. Since Java programming language is the language of choice for application development in the Android OS, we have proposed and implemented DTV services in this programming language. Java cannot be used to implement the entire DTV services functionality, so the native library has been developed to implement performance critical parts. The proposed Java API offers Java developers a wrapper around the native implementation, which encapsulates all relevant data structures and functions regarding DTV content manipulation. We have demonstrated our proposal on four key elements of DTV services: channel list, EPG, teletext, and subtitles.

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

“…Integrating digital television functionalities using Android environment is mentioned in [1]. Further development of that idea led to functionality being integrated in Android as a system service [2]. 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.…”

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

“…ADAPTATION OF EXISTING HBBTV SOFTWARE STACK ANDEXPANSION OF DTV FUNCTIONALITY Functional modules of DTV support on Android OS are DTV Middleware, DTV Service[7] (Java service which exposes DTV related functions to applications (change channel, show teletext, change audio track, volume up etc. )), and DTV Application.…”
