One company has patented a system that allows access to social networks, including facebook, without leaving the comfort of the couch. It may do for TV and remote control
The idea was patented earlier this year, but only released this week. Describes a platform that will use networks like Twitter and Facebook through a remote control that sends the content to the network without the user having direct interaction with the screen.
The novelty is that this remote control is designed for IBM to be used while watching television. "This device allows viewers to talk with the networks about programming they are watching. One of the things we most enjoy is to discuss and debate as we watch our favorite shows and this option will allow us to do immediately with people around the world "company sources said, according to U.S. media published.
In addition, they clarify that viewers receive responses to their comments, as happens in any existing network. Even, they add, as the viewer changes the channel.
The goal of IBM is to provide a more active role in the revolution that represent social networks.
However, the document lists the project and the patent gives no indication of when the release or if IBM plans to market it.
