Smart TV is a TV integrated with an Internet function or set-top box function, which can provide more powerful computing power and more abundant resources than traditional TV. 

Because smart TV is equivalent to a computer built into a traditional TV, it can install and run more and more powerful applications under the specified operating system platform. Smart TV runs complete operating system software, providing a platform for application developers.

Smart TV or intermediate devices have corresponding public software development kits and/or native development kits for third-party application developers to develop corresponding third-party applications.

Users can install or uninstall apps through the App Store. The public software development kit allows third-party application development companies and other interactive application developers to run on all compatible smart TVs or intermediate devices with only one programming, regardless of the hardware manufacturer.

Smart TV transmits content from other computers or network-attached storage devices (such as pictures, videos, and music) using the Digital Life Network Alliance/Universal Plug and Play Media Server, or using programs similar to Windows Media Player, or network-attached storage devices, or through iTunes.

 Smart TV can also provide traditional TV programs, video on demand, electronic program guides, interactive advertising, personalized services, online voting, games, social networks and other multimedia applications through the Internet. These applications include Netflix, Spotify, YouTube and Amazon.
