Device communication: a multi-modal communication platform for internet connected televisions

In this article, we describe Device Communication: a protocol and architecture to enable new TV viewing experiences driven by a sophisticated platform between the TV and modern tablets, mobile phones, and laptops. Beyond simple keyboard and remote control navigation, the device connectivity platform provides a channel for two-way, application-specific message passing over a new secure and open-sourced protocol over a local network. This platform is informed by current research, W3C reference specifications as well as advertiser and broadcaster requirements. We further describe its integration and deployment into a large, commercial Internet TV framework.
