Users can rate programmes to the world at large and recommend them directly to their friends.
Uses past behaviour and ratings to recommend new programmes.
Users with a legacy set-top box can still receive recommendations using over-the-air transmission of data.
SlipStream’s SmartShare lets viewers rate programmes they’re watching or have watched. They can also recommend these programmes to their friends using their TV, web browser or mobile.
SmartShare also recommends programmes to viewers based on their and others’ behaviour patterns, past ratings and recommendations.
The service can be integrated at a broadcaster or platform level, with the application provided online to web and mobile clients. For STBs, the application can be resident on the STB middleware, transmitted over the broadcast stream or downloaded over the return path. The service takes advantage of devices which feature a return path but also has the capability to deliver functions and data to legacy devices with no return path by incorporating a highly-compressed data-stream with the broadcast stream. Viewers with legacy STBs can use the web or a mobile phone to rate and recommend programmes to others, with recommendations to them also appearing on their STB.
SmartShare can be provided as part of an overall customer-branded SlipStream client, be presented as an API for integration with existing client and middleware solutions, or included as part of a complete bespoke client development. SlipStream can also be integrated with existing customer databases, CRM systems and Business Intelligence tools..
