Abstract :
Smart TV market grows rapidly, and it becomes another important part of our life cycle. Main factor of growing smart technologies are their useful applications. There are necessities for users to run their casual PC applications in Smart TVs. Therefore, some applications have been developed or ported to be able to run in Smart TVs. However, the process of converting many PC applications requires a lot of works that it is hard to convert every PC applications to Smart TV. In this paper, we propose Remote Desktop Client Platform (RDCP) solution to allow PC applications, easily being adapted to Smart TV application environment. We have used Virtual Network Computing (VNC) as a core of RDCP. Additionally we have divided big screen into two sub-screens, to get extra functionalities and comfortable usage. This method retains original functionalities of Smart TV. Implementation of this solution has been done using Smart TV SDK that contains cutting edge web technologies with the last updates of HTML5. By using proposed RDCP solution, the VNC ported Smart TV could extend its usage into education and entertainment field. In addition, we have implemented assistive tools to control Smart TV remotely.
