Abstract

The emergence of networked mobile computing devices creates many opportunities for consumption of multimedia content on the move. However, such mobile devices have inherent resource constraints: low network bandwidth, small screen size, limited input methods and low commitment viewing. To facilitate access to news video on mobile devices, a prototype system has been implemented on a HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1) mobile phone at 320times240 resolution, demonstrating an "adaptive TV-channel\´\´ like mixed-initiative interface used solicit user relevance feedback. Combined with network prefetching, a cognitively palatable stream of videos and a seamless lower-latency user experience is created.
