This document describes a smart TV system project created by students at Palestine Polytechnic University. The project aims to design a device that can provide internet access to a TV screen using a Raspberry Pi. Key objectives are to create an easy to use and inexpensive system. The system will allow users to browse the web and access applications on a TV screen using icons or a remote control. It will compare models from Samsung, Apple and their smart TV system. The document outlines the system's components, block diagram, hardware design, software implementation challenges, and ideas for future work.

3. Motivation
1. Solve some problems in education like
projector.
2. Some times, people need to display
content on screen rather than laptops,
mobiles.

4. Project Idea
1. External, remotely-controlled device,
compatible with the any display screen with
HDMI interface.
2. Used to utilize the available display screens
to access many websites and applications
making that screen interacting with the user
instead of being just used for displaying.
3. The system can be controlled using icons on
the screen as well as remote control.

5. Objectives
1- To design a smart TV system that is able to
provide the Internet access to a TV screen.
2- To implement and easy to use system.
3- To produce the smart TV system as a final
product.

6. Objectives (cont.)
4- To provide the customers a product that
is less expensive than other products.

16. Connect IR receiver with GPIO

17. send the signal with
use IR remote to the
IR receiver
the IR receiver it
receive the signal and
send it to the
microcontroller
the system will open
(display the icons in
the screen)
you can choose any
icon and open it with
remote
the signal will return
to the microcontroller
and choose the IP
address
the router will
recognize the IP
address to determine
the position
the screen will show
the result and we can
access to the internet

18. • Python is a high level interpreted ,interactive
and object oriented scripting language .
• Python was designed to be highly readable
which uses English keywords frequently where
as other language use punctuation .

19. Python's feature
• Easy-to-learn.
• Easy-to-read.
• Easy-to-maintain.
• A broad standard library.

20. How to write the code ?
• Write a code of the graphical interface .
• Write a code to open the web browser .
• Write a code to display the video that store in
raspberry pi or external device (USB).
• Write a code of IR remote .

22. Implementation of the project

23. Challenges
1- The programming language because
we learn this language without any
one learn me .
2- To read the codes in many remote
control .
3- To appear the graphical interface in
raspberry pi .
4- The availability of components in
.the market

24. 5- To control of the video .
6- To control of the system by using
IR remote .
Challenges (cont.)

26. Future work
1- Add application in your mobile to
control the system .
2- Add more web-site .
3- Control the system with using the
voice or use gestures by using camera .
4- Add another application not just to
browse the internet .
