Overview
IEC TR 63122-2:2019 - Smart television: Part 2 - Framework of integrated service on smart television defines a conceptual and reference framework for integrated services on smart TVs. The technical report specifies a service pattern conceptual model, standardizes service requirements for smart television, clarifies terms and relationships, and describes reference models for services, service patterns, and the interfaces between platforms (operations, content and terminal platforms).
Keywords: smart television, integrated service, service pattern, reference model, platform interfaces, IEC TR 63122-2:2019.
Key topics and technical requirements
The report organizes technical guidance across architecture, management, interfaces and terminal performance. Major topics include:
- Service reference model and industrial chain - conceptual model for how operators, content providers, app stores and terminal vendors interact.
- Hierarchical architecture and service data model - classification and data structures for smart TV services.
- Service management system - objects, functions and the management framework for operating and maintaining smart TV services.
- Operations and content platforms - architectures for service operations platforms and content operations platforms, including electronic programme list handling and content broadcast frameworks.
- Service pattern framework - logic layers (user front-end, service, data) and interface specifications for integrating services across platforms.
- Terminal technical requirements - functional expectations for media processing (audio, video, picture formats), communications and information service capacity, language input, network interfaces, QoS strategies and performance indices.
- Informative annexes - typical application scenarios (home office, public media, gaming), interaction modes (remote control, voice, touch), multi-screen interaction and DLNA references, and an application store service model.
Note: The report includes tables and figures listing supported media formats, parameter categories and interface architectures but does not replace implementation specifications.
Practical applications and users
Who uses IEC TR 63122-2:2019:
- TV manufacturers and firmware architects designing smart TV platforms and UI/service integration.
- Platform operators and content providers planning content distribution, EPG (electronic programme guide) and app store services.
- System integrators and software developers implementing service management, multi-screen and DLNA-based features.
- Network engineers defining QoS and network interface requirements for media-rich services.
- Standards bodies and regulators referencing a common framework for interoperability and service classification.
Practical uses:
- Guiding architecture decisions for integrated smart TV services.
- Specifying interfaces between content, operations and terminal platforms to improve interoperability.
- Informing product requirements for terminal performance and media handling.
