Games are controlled through mobile devices, using them not only as controllers, but also as personal screens for each player. The TV-centric gaming concept was hard to commercially deploy due to a lack of a common programming platform on the customer premise equipment. However, recent developments in TV operating systems may allow for rebooting the TV-centric gaming approach. This paper presents a proposal of integrating the TV-centric concept with a modern Internet TV based ecosystem, and a potential business case which regards Over-The-Top services as a means of deploying the concept in practice.","PeriodicalId":125652,"journal":{"name":"2016 Zooming Innovation in Consumer Electronics International Conference (ZINC)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115544930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various services like recommendations, advanced search etc enhance the experience of viewing the video content by maintaining a database of tags pertaining to each video. In a typical database search, there is no timestamp associated with the record item to the video content timestamp. This prohibits the progress of the next generation content-based interactivity mechanisms. This paper presents a mechanism to define and efficiently utilize the meta-data for content-based interactivity without any heavy-duty processing on the video encoding / decoding pipeline. For production house content as well as user generated content, the meta-data can be inserted into the stream. The main advantage of this approach is the portability across various platforms and decoder implementations. The overheads on the bit-stream, processing and memory due to such a change are also depicted.","PeriodicalId":125652,"journal":{"name":"2016 Zooming Innovation in Consumer Electronics International Conference (ZINC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130672042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The platform is based on the cloud gaming concept, whereby game content is delivered from a server to a client as a video stream, and game controls are sent from the client to the server. We shortly present the architecture of the solution and focus on the evaluation of the network performance inside schools. We study user perceived cloud gaming performance under the impact of multiple cloud gaming streams in a shared WLAN. An empirical user study was performed using the GamingAnywhere platform wherein participants were asked to report on perceived degradations of game play quality imposed by incrementally adding additional artificially generated cloud gaming streams to the same network. Results show that degradations are perceived (in the form of video jitter and higher latency) by most participants when four or more cloud gaming traffic flows share the same wireless access point.","PeriodicalId":125652,"journal":{"name":"2016 Zooming Innovation in Consumer Electronics International Conference (ZINC)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126869030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A substantial portion of spending is presently dedicated to building datacenter deployments across the globe. The compute hardware equipment is at the core of the datacenters. That equipment specification is presently dictated by name-brand proprietary vendors with specific needs that encompasses the vendors offering. The data center operators are thus required to adjust their architecture to the various equipment vendors offerings to best run its service. This solution is suboptimal as specific needs might include the use of generic compute features in large scale that leave some of the system components totally unused or in low utilization limbo. We propose a model that mimics the open source software paradigm and provides a metric for technical measurement of the hardware compute system design. It uses the openCompute community as an illustrative collaboration platform. It allows a continuous improvement in the equipment specifications process based on both customer and operator needs along with evolving vendor constraints. Finally, it employs Systems Engineering theory for mitigating certain risks, and uncertainty where no meaningful data are available.","PeriodicalId":125652,"journal":{"name":"2016 Zooming Innovation in Consumer Electronics International Conference (ZINC)","volume":"152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134319436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We showed that the approach also critically improve the usability of the Smart Home. Finally, we described the methodology for analysis of the householder's behavior and simulation of his activities. So “offline” solutions based on this approach allows protecting privacy and provide good usability (“offline” means here partly or completely disconnected from the external operating signals and observations).
