• Entertainment/CARMA discussion next steps - COVESA back button?
  • TOPICS:
    • in GAS / CARMA, there is a back button (overlay).

    • There are standardized features from smart TV that Content Providers would need, like Geo-Blocking,

    • DRM,

    • a back button & pause content instead of killing the app

    • a voice assistant,

    • seamless services and

    • simple registration.

  • Step 1: how is it done at GAS at the moment? part of the template host? how does the user perceive it? how is it implemented?
  • Step 2: show how it could be done in the emulator. "back button testing suite".
  • Step 3: find out which OEMs would support it.
  • Step 4: follow up to find out detailed possible standardized solutions.

    CARMA maybe just a library or just a set of requirements? no requirement on the app side for apps in the right category.

    find out the concrete questions on that to Google, see above.
