Automating Content Update for MHP Applications: A Practical Experience

This paper focuses on automated content update for MHP applications. Some of the authors have been involved in the first MHP trials of TVG, the TV channel of Galicia, NW Spain (three million population). It has a 30% share at regional level, competing with national channels. However, the initial MHP trials have raised the problem of manual content update cost, since in many key applications, like news and weather forecasts, contents vary on a daily basis. We have reviewed the status of MHP deployment in similar TV channels, and we have determined that the problem is currently relevant. We describe our solutions for automated content update with minimal human intervention, and our practical experience with them.
