  • Telecommunications

His primary scientific interests are in Cable television, Service provider, Encryption, Conditional access and Set. His Cable television research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in User Friendly, Timer and Television set. Television set is closely attributed to Computer hardware in his research.

When carried out as part of a general Computer hardware research project, his work on Read-only memory is frequently linked to work in Program animation, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. Among his Service provider studies, there is a synthesis of other scientific areas such as Computer security, Authorization, Downloadable Conditional Access System and Download.

His most cited work include:

  • Method of providing video on demand with VCR like functions (669 citations)
  • Subscription television system and terminal for enabling simultaneous display of multiple services (333 citations)
  • Method and apparatus for providing an on-screen user interface for a subscription television terminal (330 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Robert O. Banker mostly deals with Multimedia, Interactive media, Computer hardware, Video on demand and User input. His Multimedia research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Computer network, Interface, Television system and Presentation. His research integrates issues of Computer graphics, Display device, User interface, Terminal and Signal in his study of Computer hardware.

He combines subjects such as Electronic engineering, Data transmission and Upload with his study of Terminal. Robert O. Banker works mostly in the field of Signal, limiting it down to topics relating to Communication channel and, in certain cases, Pay-per-view and Cable television. His Video on demand study combines topics in areas such as Session, Real-time computing and Random access.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Multimedia (43.42%)
  • Interactive media (25.00%)
  • Computer hardware (22.37%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2012)?

  • Multimedia (43.42%)
  • Presentation (10.53%)
  • Interactive media (25.00%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Robert O. Banker mainly investigates Multimedia, Presentation, Interactive media, Computer network and User input. His Multimedia research is mostly focused on the topic Video on demand. His Video on demand research incorporates elements of Interface, Session and Real-time computing.

His Interactive media research is included under the broader classification of Operating system. His work in the fields of Computer network, such as Channel and Pay-per-view, intersects with other areas such as Single family. User input overlaps with fields such as World Wide Web, Signal, Video output, Display device and Computer hardware in his research.

Between 2006 and 2012, his most popular works were:

  • Method and System for Providing a Screen Saver for Interactive Media Services (33 citations)
  • Initial Arrangement of Interactive Program Guide (27 citations)
  • Determining device that performs processing of output pictures (27 citations)
