In this day and age, with the Internet becoming an ever more integral component of our daily lives, its
accessibility has become an issue with much room for improvement. Confined to the computer's monitor, its usage is limited both in terms of comfort and the number of viewers it can support. The
media and information available is vast but also scattered, making for a daunting task for the casual user to find what they want.
Making it easy to locate the right channel and the right stream, is the corner stone of what a portal
service should provide. And thus was born the idea of developing a Media Service Portal to aggregate such information into a single point entry to give the consumer ease of use and navigation, right in
front of your TV.
The Media Service Portal(MSP) is a convenient way to improve both the comfort of the user
experience of the Internet, as well as to simplify the user's task of getting what they want from the Internet with the content sorted and categorized, providing online news, radios to weather forecast.
The Media Service Portal aggregates contents provided by many online content provider. For the likes
of Internet TV news, familiar channels such as Bloomberg and MSNBC from the US are available in our Media Service Portal. Furthermore, contents such as video, music, photo, radio, news, podcast are
dynamically updated as they become available from the service providers. Despite having such rich contents available, we developed our Media Service Portal with the idea of a simple graphical user
interface with categorized content for the consumer market's needs. In just a few clicks and key strokes, users will be to able browse to their wanted online content.
The Media Service Portal provides access to live content on the Internet via RSS feed and other web
services. Customizable online content can also be handled through the MSP such as music content providers that allow users to create their own playlists and online photo album viewing. Just create an
account with Flickr Photo and you'll be able to view your photo album over the Internet.
The Media Service Portal also has the capability to enhance the user's viewing experience by
optimizing the interface to suit either Standard Definition or High Definition TV. Run from the Digital Media Player or Network DVD player, it brings the comfort of the living room and the larger display of
the TV to the Internet experience. Users finally have the freedom to enjoy online content in an environment more suited for a entertainment medium.
