Abstract
The paper presents a design and middleware
implementation of a personalised home media
centre. The proposed system aims to constitute the
fundamentals to go beyond existing media centres
and electronic programme guides, in the sense of
offering a personalised experience for a single and
multiple users in a connected home environment.
User’s characteristics, preferences and context are
used to personalise the user’s experience of viewing
and interacting with multimedia content on
different heterogeneous devices. The TV-Anytime
specification is used as the underlying content and
metadata format for handling content from IP,
digital broadcast and Blu-ray disc sources. We
show how semantics can enrich the TV-Anytime
content classification in order to achieve intelligent
personalised content search and recommendations.
