Abstract
La aplicación que se desarrolla en este proyecto es un recomendador de contenidos televisivos. Está desarrollada en Android 4.0 por lo que se puede ejecutar en cualquier smartphone con Android 4.0 o superior y en cualquier tablet con las mismas condiciones de sistema operativo.
Funciona como complemento a Google TV. Una vez que tenemos un dispositivo de Google TV conectado a un descodificador de TDT (Televisión Digital Terrestre) y a nuestro televisor, la aplicación pasa a ser el mando a distancia del dispositivo y nos mostrará la información de la programación a tiempo real. Al mismo tiempo aprenderá qué nos gusta más y qué tipo de programas solemos ver.
Para poder desarrollar una aplicación de segunda pantalla es necesario implementar el protocolo Anymote-Protocol mediante la librería, Anymote-Library que está a disposición de cualquier desarrollador y lo que nos permite conectar con nuestro dispositivo Google Tv siempre y cuando estemos dentro de la misma red Wi-Fi. Al ser una librería de código abierto puede sufrir los cambios necesarios para adecuar sus características a la aplicación que se está desarrollando.
La información relativa a los programas de televisión se lee de un archivo de EPG. Mientas el usuario la usa, la aplicación aprende de lo que éste ve y concluye qué le gusta y qué no. Así, posteriormente, hace búsquedas en segundo plano gracias a los datos que ya ha aprendido para encontrar contenidos que se emiten de manera periódica y son del interés del usuario, o de contenidos con características en común, como la categoría televisiva a la que pertenecen. El usuario puede configurar si desea recibir una notificación de aquellos programas que le gustan o incluso de los programas similares a los que ha visto.
Google TV es un complemento perfecto para cualquier televisor ya que lo convierte al instante en smart TV. Esta aplicación hace que se pueda aprovechar mejor el tiempo que se dedica a su uso ya que está desarrollada para que sea única por cada usuario, porque cada telespectador tiene unos gustos diferentes.
The application, which is elaborated in this project, is a recommender of television‟s broadcast contents. It is developed on Android 4.0 operative system. Consequently, any device, which implements this system, such as smartphone or tablet, would be able to run it. This application works as Google TV‟s complement. Once users have a Google TV device connected to a DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial) decoder, and also to a TV, the application becomes the remote control and shows us the entire TV programming information on real time. At the same time, it stores what kind of programs users enjoy the most and which ones they usually watch. Within a Google TV environment, in order to develop a second-screen application, it is necessary to implement the Anymote-Protocol by using the Anymote Library, which is available to anyone, and what allows the user to be directly connected with our own Google TV device, as long as the user stays using the same Wi-Fi network. The advantage of the Anymote Library is its freeware capacity, so users are able to make any change in relation to their own interests. All the information about TV programming is decoded from an EPG file. While making use of the application, the variety of contents the user is watching is stored, so as to recognize what kind of programs the user like. That is, in a background process, using the information stored, the application finds weekly or daily contents that have been previously watched by the user, or the ones similar in content or category, in order to satisfy their interests. Users can choose if they want to get a notification of the different contents they like the most, or even of a variety of similar programs in comparison with the ones they have already watched. Google TV is a perfect complement to any TV, since it integration turns a common TV into a smart one. Moreover, it avoids wasting time while watching TV in order to get to something entertained, and offers a wide possibility to customize everything, and makes it unique according to our preferences, since each user has diverse interests.
