Summary

Recommendation ITU-T J.1202 specifies the architecture of a smart television operating system (TVOS) over integrated broadcast and broadband (IBB) cable networks. A smart TVOS is intended to be installed in an IBB-capable cable set top box (STB) and television (TV) to apply to broadcasting services and interactive services based on the Internet protocol provided by cable TV operators and third-parties. By running a smart TVOS, the IBB-capable STB and TV are able to intelligently provide subscribers with advanced and personalized services by downloading and installing advanced and personalized apps from the platforms of cable operators and third-parties, which are interconnected with them.
