Abstract :
In order that end-users in home networks can get opportunities for useful services beyond legacy Internet Protocol TV (IPTV) services, this paper proposes a service platform that resides on the residential gateway (RG) for interworking between home network and IPTV. The proposed service platform is called the home-oriented IPTV service platform (HISP) on the RG (HISP-RG). The proposed HISP-RG provides open architecture and functionalities to enable 3rd party IPTV service providers to deliver locally and directly home-oriented IPTV services to end-users in home networks. The HISP-RG can be an “add-on” solution of the existing RG of ISO/IEC Home Electronic System (HES) or Home Gateway Initiative (HGI), that is, not a “built-in” solution. This paper introduces several home-oriented IPTV services that can be executed and delivered locally through the HISP-RG. Then, the open architecture and functionalities of the HISP-RG are defined and their requirements are specified. Finally, a use case of the HISP-RG is presented for home-oriented IPTV services.
