Abstract
We present \Snapscreen", a prototype second-screen app.
Snapscreen is a platform that allows content providers (TV
channels, broadcasters) to offer transparently content-related
information and services to users watching TV. Users need
only install the app on their mobile devices and can then
take a snapshot of TV content they are currently watching.
The resulting \snap" image is processed by the app to
generate an identification key that is sent to the Snapscreen
server, where it is matched to TV content in real time. Once
a specific program/TV station has been identified, information
and services related to this content are sent back to the
user for interaction.
Thus, Snapscreen can bridge television and Internet
intuitively by using the television content detected to form
the basis of an Internet query. An advantage of Snapscreen
(over most state-of-the-art apps) is that this single app can
offer access to a variety of interactive services and can link
to a wide range of content offered by any television channel
(station, broadcaster).
