Abstract

We developed a new way of viewing TV, CurioView, which uses metadata and retrieval technology to satisfy viewers´ curiosity by recommending wide-ranging video content related to the content the viewer is currently watching. We describe a general and expandable architecture that is based on CurioView´s functions. The architecture can be applied flexibly, not just to TVs, but also to PCs and mobile terminals. We also report on the fundamental testing of a prototype system using this architecture.
