1UK Interactive TV Brand Concept Board
1UK delivers a strongly branded politics-free communications experience
that allowing the people's government to meet with each citizen on a personalized
one-to-one level.
This dialogue is made possible through a user-centered suggestion AI not much different from such a service as
Amazon.com
learning by user-made choices and through a simple set of questions triggered at appropriate points distributed throughout the service. Based upon accumulative user-data the service can make suggestions and cater a better experience based upon the unique needs of each individual.
As the user's personal experience and relationship with the government is
of the highest concern, security and trust are taken very seriously. Personal
information is stored locally on the vendor set-top box, communicating only
incoming information content. In the event that the user wishes to return
information (making any form of outgoing communication), user notification
and approval will always be required.

1UK
is about making the personal connection with each citizen. Personalized content
is suggested and derived from frequently accessed content and further data
of user language, age, gender and local region. Advanced access to content
of personal interest is available inside the 'My Government' area.
Localized filters only ever suggest without restricting access to the wider
scope, leaving the power of choice always in the hands of the user.
1UK aims to shed the traditional page-viewing experience associated with fixed text and graphics replacing it with dynamic content loaded behind the scenes and placed on call. This feeling is enhanced by an engaging interactive brand making full use of the aural-visual environment. Making generous use of text-to-speech and aural-visual response enhancements, the service can also be well targeted towards users who face issues of accessibility. The key here is to make these enhancements available from the start and to keep the user easily informed of all additional service features.
Direct learning is thus made available in addition to the feature based AI
directed learning through interactive AV oriented guides globally accessible
through the help function. An 'open dialogue' phrase and question oriented
search (similar to
Ask
Jeeves
)
is also available at all times to further aid the user in quick access to all
content. Ultimately the feeling that the participation of every user is directly
contributing to their government is by far of the greatest concern and should
be placed as the foremost goal in directing the deliverance of the 1UK interactive
experience.
