Abstract
The digital television development is one of the most important events in the history of television
broadcasting. This paper highlights the user interface issue in digital television environment. We will not
discuss the usability of user interface design, but rather the implementation of user interface for
Interactive television services. The background of Multimedia Home Platform
(MHP) and Application Programming Interface (API) is introduced. The paper describes how to develop a Java user interface, which includes
not only graphics but also time-based media (e.g., video). Many functions and effects behind the TV
visual image have to be implemented. The special features of digital TV user interface are presented by
giving an example (i.e., screen information service for ice hockey). Finally, the future possible research
topics are briefly addressed.
