ITU-T H.730 (06/2012) i Recommendation ITU-T H.730 Web-based terminal middleware for IPTV services Summary Web-based terminal middleware (WBTM) defines the functional interfaces for high-level resource management over an IPTV terminal device and describes the structure of a web-based prese
9、ntation engine, which basically supports IPTV multimedia application frameworks in the ITU-T H.76x series of Recommendations. Web-based IPTV terminal middleware is based on ITU-T IPTV functional architecture and ITU-T terminal devices in the H.72x series of Recommendations. ITU-T web-based IPTV term
10、inal middleware is necessary to support basic and advanced interactive IPTV services for IPTV terminal devices. This Recommendation also describes the general WBTM requirements for IPTV services and any additional functionality for basic and advanced IPTV services. Annex A summarizes the general req

ITU-T H.730 (06/2012) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the Uni
12、ted Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommen
13、dations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The app
14、roval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administra
15、tion“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and complia
16、nce with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is
17、required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Inte
18、llectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation

42、software acting on behalf of a person. 3.2 Terms defined in this Recommendation This Recommendation defines the following terms: 3.2.1 script: A script is a program written in a scripting program language. Script is often interpreted from the source code. For example, a program written in ECMAscript
43、 is a script. On web-based terminal middleware for IPTV services, scripts are used in order to enable various services in IPTV terminal devices. 3.2.2 scripting program language: A scripting program language is a programming language that allows control of one or more software applications. 3.2.3 WB
44、TM plugin: A WBTM plugin is software that may be added to generic web-based terminal middleware in order to provide additional functionality. WBTM plugins may be resident or be downloaded from the server side. The additional functionality provided by WBTM plugins can Rec. ITU-T H.730 (06/2012) 3 be
45、used by WBTM scripts. A WBTM plugin may be portable for service components, for a resource abstraction layer, for resources, or for none of these. 3.2.4 WBTM plugin API: These APIs are defined by the WBTM to call WBTM plugins to extend the functionalities and abilities provided by WBTM. 3.2.5 WBTM s
46、cript: A script that is run on web-based terminal middleware in an IPTV terminal device and that enables one or more IPTV services, or a part of an IPTV service.
