Use cases

<coln> https://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/wiki/Main_Page/Cloud_Browser_TF/UseCases#Template_for_Cloud_Browser_Use_Cases

Cloud Browser Architecture Note status

kaz: sent the transition request for the Note out
... and got some comment from W3C Team mates

<coln> https://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/wiki/Main_Page/Cloud_Browser_TF/cloud_browser_vs_split_browser

kaz: I'll respond to that but maybe we might want to add references for existing mechanisms similar to the Cloud Browser, e.g., X Window System and Opera Mini

colin: there is some description on the wiki about the similarity/difference

kaz: what do you think about event exchange within X Window?

colin: maybe the similarity is entity A renders the graphics and entity B handles user input

kaz: ok

colin: was planning to publish another note for split browser

kaz: maybe would be better to put both within one document and explain the similarity and difference

cloud browser vs split browser

kaz: does ActiveVideo provide Split Browser as well as Cloud Browser?

colin: our approach is kind of hybrid

kaz: this wiki page is a good resource for our future discussions

Use Case (revisiting)

Use case wiki

kaz: maybe we might want to think about extensibility for UI for accessibility
... using various cloud services

chris: using additional cloud services
... voice recognition, etc.

kaz: it would be much easier than client-side browsers

chris: any kind of devices can use that capability regardless of their own types

colin: good to have that kind of use cases

chris: applicable to any kind of devices like mobile
... device-agnostic approach

kaz: there is a possibility that a cloud browser application can work on a smartphone
... would it be OK if Chris and I add some use cases?

colin: great to have typical examples
... would be good to keep the scope within TV area

kaz: ok to consider "accessible TV" by extending TV capability using accessibility portion?

chris: should be ok

colin: note that some other standardization bodies also handle accessibility standards

chris: tree of connected devices and serialized resources

colin: web technology allows you create accessible pages/apps
... using assistive technologies
... orchestration should handle accessibility

kaz: Chris can provide some use cases for accessibility
... btw, how to combine broadcasting signals and IP-based video signal might be one use case for hybrid TV?

colin: maybe out of scope of this TF?

kaz: in that case, who would combine those signals?

colin: there is only video element within Cloud Browser

kaz: in that case, cloud browser doesn't care the source of video signals?

colin: it depends
... there could be double stream approach

kaz: how should we update this use case wiki?

colin: we already have some use cases linked from this wiki

kaz: so the expected next step is not only adding new use cases
... but analyzing the existing use cases and think about which are the "Impact Use Cases"?

colin: yes
... and we need more people for that purpose

kaz: wondering which would be our preference
... publishing a use case note based on this wiki right away
... or publishing a note after updating/analyzing the wiki

colin: let's continue the discussion during the next call

kaz: ok
