Abstract:
In many parts of the world, the technologies of Digital TV and Connected TV are in a vast number of homes. Given this scenario, there are many sources of information in which the users may obtain access, especially with the union of “broadcast” and “broadband” technologies in a single TV set. Thus, this paper proposes a model (named T-Bookmarks) for convergent applications in Hybrid TV, responsible for retrieving Web resources of different categories (news, blogs, images, and others), related to programs watched by users. Also, our proposal takes into account the way resources are presented to the user, since she does not always want to visualize Web resources on the TV screen, as the experience of watching a TV program may be compromised. Therefore, that information is provided through a Web server so it may be accessed in any device connected to the Internet at any moment.
