A semantic social networking service using smart TV

Abstract

We propose a Semantic Social Networking Service (SSNS) using Smart TV to provide an enhanced object-centered social communication during watching TV. In the proposed semantic social communication service, it supports not only 1 to N interaction but also provides N to N interactions. Additionally, real-time social survey system supports the viewers to participate in a survey by synchronizing with broadcasting TV program. To ensure safe message sharing, a symmetric key based cryptography algorithm is employed to decrypt incoming and encrypt outgoing messages among participants.
