Interactive TV - ITEA-WellCom Demo by UNIK, Kjeller, Norway

Presenting the next generation of interactive and personalised TV. Mobile phones are used for seamless login to a set-top box (STB) using Bluetooth. The STB collects information about all users being in front of the STB, collects their interest and sorts the electronic service guide (ESG) according to the user interests. Thus, if all users interested in a genre, this genre will be shown first.

We present:
* the extension of the STB with Bluetooth and Near-field communication (NFC)
* private content being displayed and played after seamless mobile phone based authentication ("we know who is sitting in front of the STB")
* The electronic service guide (ESG) is sorted according to user interests. What most users like is displayed first.

The long version of the video, including the technical architecture and more details on the implemented solution is shown at: http://wiki.unik.no
