Users’ complaint about existing remote controller“Search” function become a mandatory feature for IPTV remote controller
• IPTV requires the text input function to enable quick direct search of user’s target content through out the various media and the numerous cable TV channels.
• Roku(1mil+) & Game consoles (170mil+) enables existing TV as the IPTV
・Selecting each letter by pointing the virtual keyboard on a TV screen is time- consuming and hectic operation such as selection by cursor (Roku) or motion sensor controll (Wii remote) .
