We develop architecture of a new N-Screen Service which enables application streaming based on N-Screen services using Personal Video Recorder (PVR) and Named Data Networking (NDN) in cloud computing environment. In particular, we propose a framework of N-Screen Services called "ShopMark" based on PVR and NDN technology in cloud computing environment. This service will be provided to user with playback method for their previously recorded multimedia contents which was combined with Advertisement. The user will be able to playback/re-play their multimedia contents, interact with the advertisement and choose their interesting advertised product by scenes. The objective of proposing ShopMark service based on PVR and NDN are to (1) allow user to playback previously recorded multimedia contents anytime with diversity of devices for screen sharing, (2) user are able to easily track and select advertised products in multimedia contents by scenes (e.g. movies scenes, etc), (3) reduce the requested content delay, provide sufficient use of bandwidth and resources (4) overcome limitation of multimedia content and provide efficient approach for content distribution in network and (5) obtain more knowledge and understanding of application NDN. This service will provide an excellent example to show how NDN can offer advantages for the multimedia contents distribution over the internet and provide more space for the development of new other N-Screen services/applications which rely on multimedia contents distribution instead of communication.
