Abstract

The chapter presents the actual state of the art in t-health and t-social applications running in countries using Brazilian Digital Television System (SBTVD). In order to accomplish it, this chapter makes a historical, political, and technological review of facts that were responsible for the decision of more than 10 countries that now are adopting SBTVD as their Terrestrial Digital Television standard, pointing to a unification of Ginga as the interactivity technology in those countries. Ginga is a middleware that at the same time serves as a digital inclusion tool for countries in development, like Brazil. It includes the best and most innovative technologies available for video/audio broadcasting and interactivity. As practical examples using Ginga, three case studies are presented: ImFine, Mime TV, and iFunnyCube. At the end, the authors present a module capable of reducing costs during interactions in the TV.
