With a premium implementation of voice assistants, operators can generate value, consumer loyalty, innovation roadmap and long- term competitive advantage.

Many vendors, operators and service providers are now exploring the potential of services based on set-top boxes (STB) enabled with voice control capability. However, getting best-possible voice interaction and service performance requires a complex integration entailing numerous technical challenges. © Copyright 2020 Technicolor 3 That is why is it important to work with This document adopts the standpoint of technology partners in possession of the the service provider.

This strategy poses several major challenges for service providers: How to guide customers? End-users can easily get lost in the jungle of apps, services, partners, and content sources. Operators can make users’ lives easier by helpfully guiding them to the desired and attractive content. How to strengthen customers’ loyalty? Third party apps can be installed by the user, potentially diluting the relationship with operators who then need to find ways to boost their brand and galvanize the customer relationship. How to differentiate? If all providers are using the same technology, and offer similar services and similar user experiences, how can they best gain a competitive edge? Operators need to find ways to stand out from the crowd. Based on the success of their shared projects, 3SS and Technicolor believe that Google Assistant for Android TV STBs is a good answer to all these challenges, ideally with implementation being driven with the support of partners who know from deep experience how to get the most from proven technology elements. Business rationale Many Network Service Providers (NSPs) including pay-TV operators have identified voice- enabled STBs as a key strategic development for many reasons [smpte]: First, voice control is appreciated by users: Consumers today routinely use Alexa, Siri or the Google Assistant with their smartphone, their in-vehicle information system or home assistants (Amazon Echo, Google Home, etc). Voice interaction is also becoming popular on Smart TVs: according to [informa] 22% of internet users use voice for video device control, which proves that consumers favor this technology. In a pure video context, voice simplifies the access to recommendations: the user describes his or her expectations with simple, natural words, the system understands and finds the content. This kind of conversational interaction is more intuitive and faster than browsing through dozens of selection screens and checking boxes, and it does not rely on reading. Adding voice control is an obvious way to please customers and increase their loyalty to the operator’s brand. Voice lowers barriers to purchasing: Because it is intuitive, “over half of consumers expect their (vocal) assistants to help make retail purchases within the next 5 years” [azure], generating new opportunities to increase the Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) by facilitating consumption of additional services, content and goods. The voice assistant is expected to boost the sales of VOD by helping ease discovery and purchasing of new series and films. Voice interaction helps facilitate additional services: Vocal interaction is natural and simple and can overlay on the video user experience without friction. For instance, pay-TV operators can add Home Automation such as alarm/heat/shutters control without disturbing users enjoying a football match. We have seen major operators like Orange (Djingo), Telefonica (Aura), Deutsche Telekom (Tinka) launch their own assistants which focus on easy usage, search, and new services. © Copyright 2020 Technicolor & 3SS 8 Better interaction leads to better monetization potential: By facilitating the user’s interaction using voice, ‘conversations’ with the service become more frequent, and richer with information. The system will benefit from more granular and accurate data which will provide a better understanding of user’s tastes. As a result, better, more appealing content recommendations can be made and advertising and promotions can be more aligned to the user’s needs and interests. A bright future: Voice assistants are getting smarter as technology evolves. They will become increasingly able to recognize the speaker, his or her position in the room and even their current mood. These capabilities will even further simplify interaction and improve adoption rates. Furthermore, advanced voice assistant technology will supply a deeper understanding of customer behavior and expectations [Stanford] and facilitate answers beyond the explicit text enunciated. © Copyright 2020 Technicolor & 3SS 9 Use cases As a first illustration, let’s describe some currently playing Nickelodeon and frees typical use cases, ranked here with the user from the burden of searching. increasing difficulty. The interaction and channel change are faster and more friendly. “Record this” is one of the simplest commands. It simplifies the end- “I want to see the film with Will Smith: user’s life; no need to find the remote Let’s assume this sentence is said while control which might be hidden under the user is viewing a VOD catalogue; the a cushion.

    Apps for Android and iOS Devices App Information for Android and iOS Devices Apps are software applications that can be installed on a mobile device. Many are free and even those that are paid for are usually low-cost. Apps cover all sorts of functions from games to word processing, and a huge number of education apps are available (both Apple and Google offer bulk purchasing for education). Apps are specific to operating systems and are usually downloaded through on online store (the App Store for iOS for example, or Google Play for Android). Mobile apps can be used to create digital learning environments using the UDL framework. They can offer multiple means of representation, expression and engagement. There are a huge number of apps available and their availability varies, and different apps will suit different learners even if they perform the same basic function.

We offer it to the public with the permission of Professor Schmidt. Google Data Collection Professor Douglas C. Schmidt, Vanderbilt University August 15, 2018 I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Google is the world’s largest digital advertising company.1 It also provides the #1 web browser,2 the #1 mobile platform,3 and the #1 search engine4 worldwide. Google’s video platform, email service, and map application have over 1 billion monthly active users each.5 Google utilizes the tremendous reach of its products to collect detailed information about people’s online and real-world behaviors, which it then uses to target them with paid advertising. Google’s revenues increase significantly as the targeting technology and data are refined. 2. Google collects user data in a variety of ways. The most obvious are “active,” with the user directly and consciously communicating information to Google, as for example by signing in to any of its widely used applications such as YouTube, Gmail, Search etc. Less obvious ways for Google to collect data are “passive” means, whereby an application is instrumented to gather information while it’s running, possibly without the user’s knowledge. Google’s passive data gathering methods arise from platforms (e.g. Android and Chrome), applications (e.g.
