Introduction

   <kaz> scribenick: kaz

   alexandra: is Entrix people online?

   kaz: not yet

   (Harrison from Entrix joins)

   harrison: from Entrix
   ... appreciate your have changed the time slot
   ... working for Entrix, one of the subsidiaries of SK Telecom
   ... targeting US, China and South Asia, etc.
   ... would like to make contribution as much as possible

   alex: tx!
   ... please introduce yourself to Harrison :)

   kaz: from W3C

   colin: from Activevideo, Invited Expert

   john: from Deque System, here for accessibility
   ... accessibility is like security and privacy, it needs to be
   architectural
   ... W3C WAI domain

   kumanan: CTO from Espial
   ... server software for IPTV and Cable TV
   ... cloud browser technology

   louay: from Fraunhofer FOKUS
   ... multi-screen domain
   ... relationship to W3C's second screen APIs

   nilo: from Ericsson

   so: head of advanced technology from NAB
   ... migrating broadcasting with IP platform

   yosuke: from W3C
   ... also one of the co-Chairs of the Web&TV IG, TV Vertical
   Champion and Team Contact for the Media Extensions WG

   alexandra: have short agenda
   ... architecture and use cases
   ... emails during the last 2 weeks
   ... use cases presented by Colin
   ... if you have any addition, please speak up

Architecture

   <alexandra-mikityuk>

   TF/Architecture#Architecture

https://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/wiki/Main_Page/Cloud_Browser_TF/Architecture#Architecture

   alex: would see use cases and clarify what kind of architecture
   is required
   ... what kind of different architectures are possible
   ... the goal of this TF is not defining the architecture itself
   ... but to see use cases
   ... the terminology we use this time, e.g., in-band media
   ... you can see we've done so far
   ... there is some description on the wiki with some diagram

   nilo: difficult to understand...
   ... regarding terminology
   ... TV local UI could be broken up into one version of a thin
   client

   alex: much noise on your line...
   ... asking about the terminology section?
   ... would propose to see the email exchange
   ... good to have discussion now

   nilo: we have to have definition clearly
   ... "zero client" makes sense
   ... but "TV local UI" using middleware is unclear
   ... the language "local" is a bit odd

   <JF> +1 to a clearer understanding of native client

   alex: within the cloud browser concept
   ... the thickness of the client matters
   ... bigger client functionality implies "local UI"

   Colin: don't have strong opinion on the naming

   nilo: the terminology is very important
   ... we're going to use the terminology

   colin: agree

   <JF> +1 to Nilo, shared terms and understanding is very
   important

   yosuke: just fyi
   ... I'm familiar with terminology for TV
   ... can provide some language for the terminology definition

   kaz: similar to John
   ... but would suggest we have a matrix table of idea vs.
   terminology
   ... also should consider the features for each idea

   <yosuke> [From the PoV of TV manufactures, the first one =>
   Middleware UI, the second one => Resident (Native) application
   if it's not HTML, HTML application if it's HTML]

   john: would suggest we create a table with 3 columns, and put
   brief definition of what each terminology means
   ... people can make contribution to the wiki directly

   <Zakim> JF, you wanted to propose a matrix, which shows this
   TF's term choices, and then a "thesaurus" of sorts

   <yosuke> John:
   [11]https://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/wiki/Main_Page/Cloud_Browser_
   TF/Architecture#Terminology

     [11]
https://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/wiki/Main_Page/Cloud_Browser_TF/Architecture#Terminology

   alex: would suggest people put their ideas on the Terminology
   section directly

   john: happy to put something
   ... and others also can make contribution

   louay: comment on Runtime
   ... the current description "runs the cloud browser and usually
   exist on actual hardware"
   ... runtime environment is on the client side, isn't it?

   alex: yes

   louay: also missing user component
   ... capability to interact with user
   ... need to send user input to the cloud

   alex: tx
   ... that's a good comment
   ... about user input, good to mention that within the
   architecture diagram
   ... very good to describe communication use cases
   ... would put that as my action item

   <scribe> ACTION: alexandra to put use input into the
   architecture diagram [recorded in
   [12]http://www.w3.org/2016/03/02-webtv-minutes.html#action01]

     [12] http://www.w3.org/2016/03/02-webtv-minutes.html#action01]

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-215 - Put use input into the
   architecture diagram [on Alexandra Mikityuk - due 2016-03-09].

   alex: want you to briefly present the use cases

https://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/wiki/Main_Page/Cloud_Browser_TF/UseCases

   alex: there is "communication" section
   ... for Use cases for communication
   ... signaling, session, video

   (alex rejoined)

   alex: video and audio
   ... user interface, service
   ... and security including EME and cloud ca

   john: what is "Cloud CA"?

   alex: different conditional access
   ... on the cloud side
   ... there are different systems
   ... some of them are downloadable

   john: ok
   ... struggling to provide comments from accessibility
   ... trying get behind the display
   ... might want to use different modalities
   ... what if you can't use usual pointer devices?
   ... happy to provide those kind of use case stories

   alex: got it
   ... where should we put that kind of requirements?
   ... interact with our systems
   ... accessibility use case?

   john: want to be careful
   ... you have requirement in US
   ... people with disability to access video
   ... long-standing policy of all the specs from W3C have
   accessibility reviews
   ... the goal is avoiding accessibility barrier
   ... our plan is working with you from the early stage
   ... because you're doing requirements gathering
   ... would propose we understand the issues of accessibility as
   well
   ... think me as a resource for accessibility
   ... how things interact with people
   ... interested in your UA layer
   ... but the UI for blind person, etc., may affect additional
   software
   ... from architectural viewpoint, do you have vision on
   accessibility?

   alex: have to read documents you provided
   ... accessibility API, etc.
   ... don't have answers now
   ... we can extend the requirements

   <yosuke> [Yosuke: MSE in Video is a bit misleading. MSE also
   deals with audio and texttracks. EME in Security is also a bit
   strange. It's all about Content Protection.]

   john: happy to contribute
   ... shadow DOM provides accessibility support for canvas
   ... was sort of background structure
   ... has accessibility API to connect to

   alex: would put that as well on my action point

   kaz: maybe we might want to consider media accessibility
   requirements as the part of this requirements document

   john: provided some resources

   alex: ok
   ... would proceed with the Use Case wiki
   ... we can add modification to this
   ... would like to open up questions
   ... you can update the wiki directly
   ... or send your comments to the list

   colin: the structure is important
   ... important to have a couple of use cases
   ... would ask you all to put your use cases here

   <JF> link to my previous email:

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-web-and-tv/2016Feb/0020.html

   colin: would be good to have John's accessibility portion too

   alex: Harrison, you may have some additions?

   harrison: let me add one comment to the terminology

   harrison: identify if the rendering is done whether on the
   client side or the server side

   alex: tx

   harrison: would suggest update the terminology section
   ... client-side rendering vs. cloud-side rendering

   [19]Terminology section of the Architecture wiki

     [19]
https://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/wiki/Main_Page/Cloud_Browser_TF/Architecture#Terminology

   harrison: regarding the use cases wiki
   ... HbbTV 2.0 started services including two kinds of
   categories
   ... two reasonable categories: broadcasting-dependent vs.
   broadcasting-independent

   [20]Use Case wiki

     [20]
https://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/wiki/Main_Page/Cloud_Browser_TF/UseCases

   [21]Use Case for Communication wiki

     [21]
https://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/wiki/Main_Page/Cloud_Browser_TF/UseCases/communication

   alex: related to service use cases?

   harrison: right

   alex: what "broadcast" here means?

   harrison: implies linear video
   ... coming through the tuner
   ... the browser handles unicasting video
   ... but multicasting video is used for TV services
   ... linear video vs. multicast video

   alex: in this TF, would try browser API
   ... not sure about HbbTV approach
   ... but good to have that idea as well
   ... would add "linear vs multicast" to the terminology

   harrison: would try detailed description

   alex: great
   ... also "client-side vs. cloud-side" as well?

   harrison: yes

   alex: question to Louay?
   ... multi-screen concept for cloud browser?

   louay: already had discussion here with my colleagues
   ... advantage with cloud browser is that it would be easier to
   handle multiple screens
   ... need capability of discovery
   ... on the set-top box
   ... by just providing the link to the cloud browser
   ... regarding 360-degree video
   ... you can use your smartphone to control multiple screens

   alex: synchronization locally
   ... important for gaming and cloud 360
   ... good to have an initial description

   <JF> allowing a smart phone/device the ability to connect to
   your cloud browser *might* also help address many, if not all,
   of your accessibility concerns as well, as it becomes a
   physical connection point (that starts out pretty accessible
   already)

   alex: so that people can extend it

   louay: we identify new requirements for cloud browser

   alex: as I proposed last time, during this week would have
   input for the architecture and use cases
   ... we got several action points during this call too
   ... we continue to work with the terminology section as well

   <JF>

   TF/Architecture#Terminology

     [22]
https://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/wiki/Main_Page/Cloud_Browser_TF/Architecture#Terminology

   john: made a slight change to the wiki
   ... put a table with 3 columns, Term, Definition and Also known
   as

   nilo: would make contribution
   ... might want to change the first column, Term, itself, though

   kaz: we can start with putting our own ideas to the "Also Known
   As" field :)

   alex: please put your name to the TF participants wiki
   ... if you don't have any questions, additions or comments, we
   are done today
   ... next call in 2 weeks on March 16th.
