IoT connectivity interface in tizen: Smart TV scenarios

Abstract

As we are moving towards the Internet of Things (IoT), the number of devices and sensors deployed around the world is growing at a rapid pace. A new approach, control interface for the next era of IoT is necessary. IoT will fundamentally affect all of us. As digital devices become increasingly complicated, TV includes many smart functions as connecting diverse devices. Therefore, complicated interaction and unnecessary functions caused many other problems. The aim of this study is to highlight the Everything’s Guide (ETG) feature of Samsung’s new Tizen Operating System (OS), with respect to the most talked about IoT scenarios. ETG also converts Smart TV into an IoT hub, leaving users with an altogether new experience of TV watching. It talks about the new created interface, considering user interactions as primarily. With increase of devices controlled by users and things based on the sensor, it’s essential to define such an interface, which is user centric, simplified in nature and easy to use.
