Smart TV front-end application for cloud computing

ID: LITH-IDA/ERASMUS-A--12/004--SE

This master project focuses on the development of a front-end applicationfor cloud computing. Traditionally, televisions have been excluded from the always connected world. With the appearance of the smart televisions it is now possible to connect them to the Internet. However, there still exists a gap between televisions and services in the cloud.To solve the problem, we have developed a JavaScript application. This application allows the user to log into their CloudMe account from a Samsung SmartTV with multimedia support. This application is centered on improving the responsiveness performance of a cloud computing application. It also enhances the user experience by creating a user-friendly UI for a television. During the course of this thesis, the application and its functionalities have been studied, designed, developed, optimized and finally tested. We have also done a set of measurements to validate the responsiveness of the proposed design. The development of this TV application shows the TV is a potential target device for cloud computing services due to its better resources and capabilities in different areas such as multimedia reproduction.

Keywords: Smart TV, cloud computing, user interface, responsiveness
