Hi all, How was your journey from Lyon to your country? It was a touch flight from Lyon to Seoul. Hope you go back to your normal life soon. I would like to add a new requirement, 'Prevent displaying time conflicts between scheduled contents and event-driven contents' that we discussed in Lyon. ---------------------------------------------------------- R. Prevent displaying time conflicts between scheduled contents and even-driven contents Digital signage contents consist of scheduled contents which are supposed to be generally displayed on scheduled time and event-driven contents which are activated by user interaction. Time conflicts can occur between them so that it is necessary to provide a method to prevent the conflicts. Use cases [Prevent user interaction] Monica is now in front of a digital signage. She tries to turn on a movie clip on the signage, which lasts for 10 minutes. However, the movie clip is not activated because the current content on the display is about to be finished in 2 minutes and next content is strongly scheduled to be started on time. After 2 minutes, the next content is displayed on the display as scheduled. [Postpone a scheduled content] Lily is at a shopping center. She sees a digital signage and tries to get shopping guides from the signage. The signage display enables her to touch itself to access to various shopping information. She interacts with the signage while it has a schedule to display another advertisement at the time. However, the signage owner does not want to bother user interaction service so that postpones the scheduled advertisement until she finishes her interaction. When she leaves the signage, it starts to display the scheduled advertisement. Motivation There might be a time conflict between event driven contents and scheduled contents. Recently, digital signages are developed to be interactive so that they can provide additional information (event driven contents) in response to user inputs. Advertisers want a signage to display their paid advertisements (scheduled contents) on time. Advertisement is a major funding source for digital signages. Therefore, it is required to handle this issue. Gap analysis In SMIL 3.0, there is a discussion of unifying event based and scheduled timing for multimedia presentation. To integrate interactive content into SMIL 3.0, SMIL 1.0 scheduler is extended to support indeterminate timing and event-activation. See SMIL3.0 : http://www.w3.org/TR/SMIL3/smil-timing.html#q181 The issue is a little bit pertaining to R14, 'showing contents on time'. I think the proposed issue should be seperated from R14, since it is practically too important to be covered by R14. R14 even does not discuss about event-driven contents. ------------------------------------------------------------ I appreciate any comments or suggestions on the proposed issue. Thanks.
