Connected Media – SEDICMA aims to develop and evaluate core technologies for digital home media assistants. To achieve this goal, SEDICMA adresses a wide range of interdisplinary challenges, such as the design of the core service architecture, the development of device- and domain-independent interface and usability concepts and their evaluation in user acceptance studies, and the establishment of an application store as well as a media exchange network.

To achieve this goal, the project is organized in two separate phases. The first phase focuses on the development of TV applications (TV widgets) in a home networking context, along with the setup of a hybrid TV as a portal for core functionalities. The second phase then extends the applications to other devices and domains.

The project Connected Media-SEDICMA is divided into two phases:

Phase I encompasses the development of a device management systems as a part of the necessary core technology platform (Enabling Technologies I).

Phase II: In this phase, a device-independent media assistance is realized in the form of a Personal Media Recommenders (PMR) and a Personal Video Recorders (Assistant Media Services). Access to the assistants will be enabled for additional devices (e.g. Android-based smart phones). The value chain is exemplarily realized through the incorporation of a Connected Living application store, which allows the user to personalize and adapt his home entertainment systems according to her needs (Enabling Technologies II).
