H.5.2 User Interfaces  Multi-platform User interfaces  Migratory user interfaces 

In this paper we present a solution able to support user interfaces that migrate among digital TVs and mobile devices, thus useful for users freely moving about in the home and outside. The proposed environment is able to understand what tasks the users are performing and dynamically generate user interfaces for the target device, with the state updated to the point at which it was left off in the previous device, and taking into account the different interaction resources of the new device. We also introduce an example application of the migration environment in the area of entertainment.
