Utilizando a televisão digital como um meio de comunicação para ambientes interativos reais. 2010. 85 f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Automação e Sistemas; Engenharia de Computação; Telecomunicações) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2010.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/jspui/handle/123456789/15333This Dissertation aims to provide a communication mechanism between Digital TV viewers and interaction devices, such as robots, for example, placed on the environment from which a TV program is being live broadcasted. Such communication mechanism has the objective to allow viewers controll the Interaction Devices through their TV devices, using the broadcast channel present in Interactive Digital TV systems, and receive data from the devices by the broadcast channel. This system was projected as a middlewaer system where the Interaction Devices in the TV program set are interconnected, creating a Interactive Device Network. With this approach, the system is capable of manage the devices on the network, controlling the flow of coming and leaving elements, in a transparent way for the viewers. The system yet allows the Interaction Devices communicate each other, with a integrated communication channel with no worries about the physical communication layerapplication/pdfAcesso AbertoMiddlewareRedes de dispositivos interconectadosAplicações de TV digitalMiddlewareInterconnected devices networkDTV applicationsmasterThesisCNPQ::ENGENHARIAS::ENGENHARIA ELETRICA
