Kannuu

Stop searching, start finding

In today’s world, consumers are used to quick, dynamic results to their searches. A few clicks on the keyboard typically gets consumers in the neighborhood of what they are looking for. But in the world of connect devices and television, this hasn’t quite been the case…until now. Kannuu provides advanced solutions to those who want to stop searching and start finding.

Kannuu provides content owners, publishers and application developers a powerful toolset for managing and presenting a quick, dynamic and intuitive content discovery experience. By delivering the power of the keyboard in four simple arrows on a standard TV remote control, Kannuu provides the capability to search millions of entries to find a movie or song in literally only a few button presses.

While others are trying to influence user watching behavior, Kannuu truly allows one to navigate and directly choose content of interest. Kannuu changes the paradigm by introducing ‘train of thought’ algorithmic assessment of content, coupled with user based filtering to provide a dynamic, swift and compelling user experience. There is no eye flicker from clumsy secondary keyboards or using number pads to enter text, no frustrating onscreen keyboards or waving wands around. A thumb on the dpad provides a rewarding user experience that’s truly unparalleled.

thePlatform Integration:

Kannuu is able to programmatically receive notification of changes to your media library from mpx, dynamically process such information, and provide end users the latest content with real-time updates. With this seamless integration, you can now provide easy access to all content information available.

Data Indexing

Kannuu begins by analyzing source content, processing and organizing it into a proprietary indexing structure, which comprises a layered network of meta-information. This is the key to the train of thought algorithms. Content owners can then apply recommendation overlays, weighting schemes, promotional influences, etc to the resulting structure.

Lookup Service

The Kannuu lookup service determines what search options to deliver based on partial word completion™ algorithms.

The Kannuu lookup service includes a REST based API, which is designed to integrate into the systems of Kannuu’s customers and partners.

Presentation

The Kannuu UI presents the weighted options (from recommendation engine, promotional influence, etc.) from the lookup service to the user around the remote control directional pad. Users simply choose the direction that follows their ‘train of thought’.

They Kannuu user interface is fully customizable, enabling a consistent brand experience for content providers and device manufacturers.
