ITU-T J.206 (03/2013) i Recommendation ITU-T J.206 Architecture for an application control framework using integrated broadcast and broadband digital television Summary Consumer electronics devices are

3、 more and more connected every day. This tendency has also reached digital television (DTV) receivers, Blu-ray players, personal video recorder (PVR) devices and even games consoles. Taking advantage of the increasing broadband availability, consumer electronics manufacturers are embedding in their

4、products applications that are able to retrieve content from proprietary services available through the Internet. Additionally, computational capabilities and increasing persistent storage availability in these devices will allow end users to customize their devices by installing new applications; t

5、his is already occurring with mobile phones, tablets and games consoles. In the same way, DTV broadcasters are extending their systems in order to use broadband availability to improve their services by adding interactive non-linear and on-demand content to the services they traditionally offer. How

6、ever, most of the current solutions are closed/proprietary solutions and focused on each industrys specific problems. In alignment with Recommendation ITU-T J.205, Requirements for an application control framework using integrated broadcast and broadband digital television, this contribution propose

7、s a study on the architecture and implementation for an application control framework for DTV enabled devices. This framework would be responsible for managing and controlling the interactive content and applications available through DTV services, installed by the end user or embedded by the device

8、 manufacturer, and providing a unified execution environment for them. History Edition Recommendation Approval Study Group 1.0 ITU-T J.206 2013-03-01 9 ii Rec. ITU-T J.206 (03/2013) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of tele

9、communications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing teleco

10、mmunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the pr

11、ocedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a te

12、lecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of

13、 these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

14、 ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU m

15、embers or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may

23、d by network agnostic delivery mechanisms which include broadcast delivered, broadband delivered, pre-installed, delivered via application repository and home area network delivered. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in

24、this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All Recommendations and other references are subject to revision; users of this Recommendation are therefore encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent e

25、dition of the Recommendations and other references listed below. A list of the currently valid ITU-T Recommendations is regularly published. The reference to a document within this Recommendation does not give it, as a stand-alone document, the status of a Recommendation. ITU-T J.200 Recommendation

In a more extensive definition (the one adopted in this Recommendation), this unit also comprehends th

37、e delivery of interactive content. It constitutes an editorially consistent whole and it is an aggregation of different kinds of service components. 3.1.14 DTV service component delivery mechanism ITU-T J.205: Used to refer to any mechanism, channel or medium to deliver digital television (DTV) serv

38、ice components to an integrated broadcast and broadband (IBB) DTV receiver. 3.1.15 DTV service content ITU-T J.205: Audio/visual/interactive components delivered within a digital television (DTV) service as single editorially consistent whole. 3.1.16 execution engine ITU-T J.200: A subsystem in a re

39、ceiver that evaluates and executes procedural applications consisting of computer language instructions and associated data and media content. An execution engine may be implemented with an operating system, computer language compilers, interpreters and application programming interfaces (APIs), whi

40、ch a procedural application may use to present audiovisual content, interact with a user, or execute other tasks that are not evident to the user. A common example of an execution engine is the JavaTV software environment, using the Java programming language and byte code interpreter, JavaTV APIs, a

41、nd a Java virtual machine for program execution. 3.1.17 IBB application ITU-T J.205: An application that is meant to be handled and executed within an integrated broadcast and broadband (IBB) application control framework defined by this Recommendation.

Such data structure can support the signalling of IBB applications that are retrievable from the broadcast channel or through the broadband channel

44、 from HTTP servers or application repositories. Rec. ITU-T J.206 (03/2013) 3 3.1.19 IBB DTV receiver ITU-T J.205: A device capable of receiving and displaying DTV services as well as integrated broadcast and broadband (IBB) DTV services. 3.1.20 IBB DTV service ITU-T J.205: A service that simultaneou

48、arily based on presentation rules defined in the presentation engine. A presentation engine also responds to formatting information, or “markup“, associated with the content, to user inputs, and to script statements, which control presentation behaviour and initiate other processes in response to us

49、er input and other events. A common example of a presentation engine is an HTML browser, capable of displaying text and graphic content formatted in HTML b-W3C HTML, with interactive behaviour programmed in ECMAScript b-ECMAScript. 3.1.25 remote application catalogue ITU-T J.205: application catalogue exported from an application repository. This differs from the normal application catalogue in that, if the remote application catalogue is very large, there must be a mechanism for querying it and
