Abstract:
As the main focus of this research, we constructed an experimental website for the communication broadcasting cooperative transmission system and developed a regional information platform. In addition, we carried out a small-scale demonstration experiment at the Chino station. The results of the questionnaire show that there is high demand for the provision of regional information, as was initially expected. However, the level of satisfaction regarding the kind of information people wanted was higher with one-segment (1Seg) transmission. It appears that 1Seg is better at sorting and presenting information believed to be necessary, and that there are comparatively few people who want in-depth information unique to particular regions such as that provided by social network services. This means that the system should dynamically change the ratio of general and in-depth information based on the time, location, and user profile.
