Solution introduction:
Reference UI for IEOS ( JJGuide )
UX Design
IEOS’s UX design offers a comprehensive range of user experience design services, focused on the digital TV sector, for all screens and devices, and tailor-made to suit your needs. It provides a series of user interface framework that supports HTML5/CSS and JAVA environments. We have superior and proven expertise in graphical design, allowing us to innovate and reinforce TV operator brands. IEOS Design’s user experiences and user interface designs offer a skillfully branded operator window in the living room of each subscriber and are extremely TV viewer focused, ensuring high uptake in the market.
Flexible JS Framework
In addition to the HTML environment, IEOS provides a JavaScript framework (JSF) for rapid UI and business logic development. The framework offers libraries to accelerate common tasks, service delivery and back-office integration, PVR management, VOD portal listings, or online application access. Usability methods and user interface studies establish where improvements can be made to further improve the customer experience. IEOS is performance optimized for embedded television systems and can scale from a thin TV set-top-box devices up to a residential gateway solution.
Web Service Design
IEOS is also designed as Web Service architecture, applications that can be described, published, located, and invoked over a network. The Web Service can be dynamically composed into applications stemming from capabilities-based look-up at runtime, instead of the traditional static binding. The dynamic nature of the collaborations allow the implementations to be platform- and programming language-neutral while creating innovative products, processes, and value chains. IEOS provides server/client functionality via JSON and SOAP APIs, supporting client application platforms including HTML5, Android, and iOS.
IEOS Hybrid Support
IEOS is a full hybrid middleware supporting any broadcast frontend (DVB-T/C/S-1/2, DTMB) and embracing full OTT IP support
