Overview

Our InvenSenseTV platform enables Pay TV ecosystem partners to easily create a complete motion-enabled entertainment experience for consumers. New generation Set-Top Boxes (STBs) and Smart TVs (DTVs) will be providing more varied types of digital entertainment and information from a multitude of sources. As a result, consumers will need easier, more effective ways to navigate rich user interfaces, interact with apps, and control content. Motion-enabled remotes deliver substantial benefits to customers in the Pay TV market including a dramatically enhanced user experience, more natural, intuitive user interface navigation, increased consumption of premium paid services, more immersive gaming, and more. Recent studies show that Pay TV subscribers using motion-enabled remotes with point-and-click navigation, combined with gesture recognition, purchased more Video-On-Demand and more games, leading to a 27% increase in revenue per user compared to traditional remotes.

The two key components of the InvenSenseTV platform are the AirMotionLibrary (AML) Firmware and the SmartMotion Server (SMS). AML is embeddable firmware that runs completely on the remote control and supports in-air pointing and basic gesture recognition. The SmartMotion Server is a more complete option that runs on the host, such as a Set-Top Box (STB), Smart TV, or even a tablet. In addition to the AML features the SMS also supports advanced gesture recognition, dynamic rotations, 3D orientation, user intent anticipation, joystick emulation and multi touch emulation.

Benefits of Both Solutions Include:

  • Create Easy-to-Use Motion-Driven User Interfaces with User Friendly Point-and-Click and Gesture-Based Navigation
  • Vastly Improve User Experience with Motion-Enabled widgets
  • Rapid development of MotionTracking applications for remote control based products

 

Applications for Both Solutions Include:

  • Smart TV Set-Top-Box Remote Controls
  • PC and Mobile Devices Controls
  • Pointing Devices
  • Game Controllers
