A Recommender Handoff Framework for a Mobile Device

摘要

Due to the proliferation of mobile phone market and the emergence of mobile TV standard, there is a need for providing consumers with electronic programming guide (EPG) on a mobile device. To reduce the information load on a mobile device, an EPG recommender framework is designed. The framework provides a flexible architecture to adapt to different environments whereas the recommender core can work stand-alone on a mobile device or switch to a hybrid mode utilizing the computing resource on a home network. In our prototype, a hybrid framework with automatic recommender handoff is built for DVB-H environment and simulated on latest Android mobile platform.
