Abstract:
Smart City is the future of urban planning of the cities in the next generations. In Smart Cities, values are added to services, such as optimizing traffic and better use of energetic resources, generating a resource saving. These services are a result of a wide data collection from sensors or through crowdsensing. The objective of this work is to propose the development of a tool called PlugTV to collect information of citizens through the TV. The tool is composed by a Web component, implemented as a service, which allows data collection as a log from heterogeneous clients (TV, connected devices and sensors) and by a mobile component, implemented in an Android Mini-PC attached to the TV that allows data collection from the TV in a transparent way for the citizen, abstracting the dependency on a Digital TV middleware. In parallel, there is a gain of portability when it comes to IPTV providers because each Smart TV produces has its own platform of development and communication.
