Abstract

An advanced mobile Web TV platform, called ePlayer, is presented. The ePlayer allows mobile phone users to personalise live sports events viewing experience. The platform features automatic video content annotation, user preference matching to video content and dynamic adaptation to the end user environment (including terminal and network capabilities). The platform, together with critical modules, supporting heterogeneous network infrastructures is described. ePlayer is the result of the EU funded research project My-eDirector 2012 and endeavours to provide a unique technology showcase for the coverage of major athletic events with concurrent events and multitudes of cameras.
