WA-TV: Webifying and Augmenting Broadcast Content for Next-Generation Storage TV

A method is proposed for viewing broadcast content that converts TV programs into Web content and integrates the results with complementary information retrieved using the Internet. Converting the programs into Web pages enables the programs to be skimmed over to get an overview and for particular scenes to be easily explored. Integrating complementary information enables the programs to be viewed efficiently with value-added content. An intuitive, user-friendly browsing interface enables the user to easily changing the level of detail displayed for the integrated information by zooming. Preliminary testing of a prototype system for nextgeneration storage TV, “WA-TV”, validated the approach taken by the proposed method.
