Media-on-demand
Media on demand is a new generation of video on demand, which not only allows users to watch/listen video and audio content like movies and TV shows, but also provides functions including real-time information, interactive games, attractions guidance, route information, advertising system, shopping & ordering service. Users can select content whenever they want, rather than having to watch it at a specific broadcast time.
In the transportation industry, media on demand technology was first applied by FUNTORO, which offer media on demand as in vehicle infotainment to bus & railway passengers through high-definition interactive monitors embedded in seatback or armrest.
Some telecommunication companies offer media on demand service by transmitting digital signal to set-top box that is connected to television screen or another display devices of individual homes and users. Clients are required to pay a monthly fee to get access to a bundle of multimedia content.
