ACOGITO Announces New Concept of Integrated PVR Service Including a TV Streaming Service to Mobile Devices



    Acogito, a personal media entertainment carrier company,
    today announced the world's first integrated PVR service called
    "AcoService(TM)," utilizing the Company's patented Remote Control
    eXtensible Markup Language (RCXML). Combined with the Company's dual
    tuner SD/HD PVR product ("AcoBox(TM)"), the AcoService(TM) allows
    consumers to enjoy (i) an IP-based, contents streaming service to
    mobile phone or PC ("AcoTV(TM)"), (ii) a CRM-based, recording agent
    service ("AcoChannel(TM)"), and (iii) a patented RCXML-based, remote
    scheduling service ("AcoRemote(TM)").
    "Now through our AcoService(TM), any time can be your prime time,
    and any place can be your living room," said Jason Chung, Ph.D.,
    Acogito's President & CEO. "I believe that consumers, as the world
    moves rapidly into the ubiquitous era, will require an integrated
    service connecting between CE devices at home and mobile devices
    anywhere through the internet. And among the CE devices, the PVR is
    the best killer application for such an integrated service."
    AcoTV(TM) utilizes a MPEG4 encoder hardware module incorporated
    into a PVR to stream live or pre-recorded TV contents to any mobile
    phone or PC. On the other hand, a RCXML-based software module,
    enabling AcoChannel(TM), AcoRemote(TM) and other basic services such
    as EPG, HDD management, etc., can be directly implemented into a PVR
    set without any additional hardware cost. The AcoService(TM) is
    offered with a purchase of any AcoBox(TM) PVR free of monthly charge
    for a limited time, which can be renewable every six months.
    One of the most innovative features provided by AcoService(TM) is
    the AcoChannel(TM), in which our CRM automatically schedules remote
    recording of your favorites into your PVR as you continue to use
    scheduled recording. Whenever you feel tired of searching programs of
    your interests, you just click the ACO BUTTON on your remote
    controller to access AcoChannel(TM), which most likely contains your
    favorite programs. AcoChannel(TM) service will be available in the
    EMEA region from January, 2007.
    The Company has also completed the development of the universal
    device module (called "AcoModule(TM)"), which converts any PVR/STB
    with different platforms, operating systems and reception methods to
    an AcoService(TM)-enabled AcoBox(TM) in order to globally extend the
    AcoService(TM). The Company will showcase the AcoBox(TM) and its
    associated AcoService(TM) during 2006 IBC Show held in Amsterdam,
    Netherlands. The booth is located at 5.210.
