Abstract

Constant hardware improvements of handheld devices (e.g. tablets and smartphones) and the fact that they are already present in almost every home, makes them a target platform for becoming the second screen of a digital TV (DTV) device. This paper presents one solution of remote control protocol suitable for resolving problems regarding content sharing from DTV set-top box to second screen devices and remote control of the host DTV device. The goal of this protocol is to enable handheld device owners to enjoy seamless integration with their TV-based entertainment experience.
