Abstract:

The widget applications have been very widly used on PC platform and hand-held devices. Widget applications will be widely used on the IPTV platform. This paper describes a widget system of IPTV on the ST-9150 hardware platform which is designed by STM icroelectronics (ST) company. This widget system consists of three parts: widget engine, widget manager and widget applications.
