Broadcasting corporations have begun distributing programs via Internet simulcast and video on demand (VOD). Such diversification of content distribution has created various ways for users to view programs, e.g., broadcast on TV, Internet simulcast on smartphones, and VOD on a connected TV. However, at the same time, this diversification of viewing operations creates complexity that can hamper users' viewing opportunities. This paper proposes a cross-media platform that provides users with common operations to view programs and automatically determines an appropriate distribution medium depending on the user's situation. We designed a system model for the platform and confirmed its feasibility by implementing a prototype on a Hybridcast receiver and an Android tablet. |
