Where does the smart TV go? TVOS Application Outlook

Massive TV content

The TVOS operating system is a comprehensive smart TV platform that combines high-definition broadcast, on-demand programming, and viewing of video application content. The network television licensee is not allowed by the SARFT to cooperate with commercial websites and provide directly outside the chain websites and establish brand websites. On the TVOS system, users can install APKs from licensees, move the content resources of different licensees to their own TV screens, and enjoy various high-quality video resources.

Massive TVOS applications
TVOS is fully compatible with Android applications, ensuring the richness of the application at the technical level. Although TVOS 1.0 itself has only one designated application store, Android application software must be approved by SARFT to log into the TVOS application store. With Android applications for massive applications and more and more TVOS-based software development in the later period, it is not hard to imagine that TVOS in the future will surely have rich application software.

Multi-screen interactive

Multi-screen interaction is already a very common feature of smart TVs. In simple terms, it is on the screens of different devices, and the connection and conversion are realized through connecting devices. Specifically, there are functions such as mutual conversion between multiple screens and remote control of a mobile phone. TVOS will also have these features: it can both push the photo video on the mobile phone tablet to the big screen TV, and can also transmit the big screen TV content to the mobile platform for viewing, and realize the broadcasting control of the mobile platform to the TV. The small screen will switch to a large screen. Allows users to freely watch video content on the network on the TV.

TV payment

In the third-party payment license issued by the Central Bank in 2012, the digital television payment service first appeared. Since then, TV payment has also occurred in China. However, TV payment is still developing slowly. The TVOS will implement the TV payment function. It is reported that this module is provided by Alibaba. The relevant technology is undoubtedly a great boon for users who are used to Alipay.

To provide users with housekeeping services

TVOS operating system will realize the transition from “watching TV” to “using TV” and will realize the transition from single media to full media, full-featured, and full-service. TVOS is the foundation and support for all this. The future TVOS will certainly support video chat, smart security, smart home and other concept products, providing users with a one-stop butler service.

HTML5 support
HTML5 code is the future development direction of the Web. The first is the HTML5 language because of its rich labels when writing code has great simplicity, followed by good audio and video support to make the information more abundant, and finally it is very good The cross-platform usability makes it easy to port applications to other platforms. TVOS implements support for HTML5, which not only simplifies the writing of applications, enriches the multimedia content of the platform, but also enables easy porting of applications from other platforms. Whether for its future sustainable development or for the compatibility of network information is extremely beneficial.

From software to hardware, providing a more secure system

The TVOS system is based on open source Linux and integrates the functions and applications of some Android systems. It also adds security modules and drivers. These ensure the security of user information from the system software. Sheng Zhifan, the chief engineer of the Broadcasting Science Research Institute of the SARFT, also stated that when it comes to interpreting the TVOS system, it is impossible to make sure that security is linked from the software to the underlying hardware and that the implementation of the brushing machine is impossible. Once this kind of security measures connected to the underlying hardware is mature, it provides a more secure protection for us to access the Internet or to shop on Internet TV.

Unified operating system to achieve industry consolidation

Develop a converged network based on a wired network and extend wirelessly. The user can use WiFi indoors to cross the screen to the mobile phone. In the outdoors, the content and services on the cable network platform are migrated to the user's mobile terminal through the wireless network, allowing the user to see the content of the radio and television. Through the radio and television network (including wired, wireless, satellite) infrastructure, to create a green Internet, to achieve full coverage, users are very convenient; for the national informatization, it is also universal, everyone can fully enjoy the information Achievements. While promoting informationization, it has ensured national security.

Concluding remarks The TVOS 2.0 system has started to promote R&D. From this, we can see the determination and confidence of the Directorate-General in the improvement and promotion of TVOS. Although TVOS 1.0 still has some areas that users are not satisfied with, and the system has some resistance in replacing the old platform, we believe that TVOS will be successful through the concerted efforts of the SARFT, the provincial and municipal radio and TV bureaus, and major manufacturers. .
