Publication number: 20220317777Abstract: An application framework includes user interface components and TV resources which facilitate development of intelligent TV applications, including third-party applications. These components and resources are complimented by one or more data services that can generally be run at a services level, to provide access to a variety of data, such as media and program metadata for one or more of local or remote sources. These data services can reside in one and more libraries within the software system components and modules. The various third-party apps are further supported by a third-party application support module, in conjunction with an app center application that supports various different views of the installed apps: a master view, a collection view, and a detail view.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2022Publication date: October 6, 2022Applicant: Flextronics AP, LLCInventors: Todd Lee, Tong Chen, Eduardo Diego Torres Milano
