Marcio, thanks for the reply. I wasn't sure what signals could be sent via digital tv. I know in Japan that there is a signal sent over the airwaves that basically signifies when commercials start and when commercial ends so that VCRs can record TV programs without commercials in them. I was hoping that there might be some protocol to help with this. I would definitely need to do more research if I was to expand on this idea.
The email was more to initiate an idea with the same concept as the browser search box or a click of an ad. Basically to make the OS on the TV platform more of a WebTV not just a TV that has a browser. I hadn't considered how the advertisement would send the URL. I do know that for any advertisement, often you have urls associated with the commercial now a days... that was where the main thought initiated. Many things to think about for certain and explore with this concept. :) On Tue, Jan 5, 2016 at 11:29 AM, Marcio Galli <[email protected]> wrote: > The notion of jumping from a, say scene context, to a browsing or app > session, is for sure interesting (beyond ads).
