Abstract

Really simple syndication (RSS) technology makes it for users possible to keep track of updated news. Podcasting is the technology based on RSS aims to aggregate multimedia files. For desktop users, viewing redundant RSS news video might not be a problem because of the high efficiency of the machine. But for mobile users, viewing redundant news video in a device with limited resource like PDAs or smart phones is wasting time, memory-space and battery-power. This paper proposes an automatic filtering for news video feeds for use on TCP/IP-based mobile devices. The system aggregates news video feeds from multiple sources and then filters an appropriate video to be shown on user´s mobile device. To reduce the processing on mobile devices, users are able to access news video through a Web-based reader.
