Abstract

The process of digital TV convergence, expected in Europe to the end of 2012, makes desirable to develop a system that can provide access to the Internet offering web content on a television screen. In this paper we present WebClimb, a web browser that would pursue an effective integration of Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) and Internet in the DVB-MHP platform. WebClimb is a Java-based web browser and enables users to browse the web interacting with an easy to use Graphical User Interface (GUI), driven by a TV remote control. We explain the system architecture of this novel web browser and we evaluate the operating modes of a WebClimb prototype, over commercial digital terrestrial set-top-boxes.
