Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to electronic program guides (EPG) technology, relate in particular to a kind of program commending method based on EPG.
Background technology
In the simulated television epoch, because the television channel number is less, the user can adopt the method that travels through by remote controller to search own favorite program.But along with the arrival of digital Age, Digital Television is because Digitized Transmission, may be combined in the channel such as multiple business such as video, audio frequency, image, data and transmits.Therefore, Digital Television has not been single television services, but the digital service by the television transmission channel transfer.At present, global Digital Television has entered Rapid development stage, can predict, and at a few years from now on, the business relevant with Digital Television will increase substantially.Thing followed problem is, when Digital Television can provide the program that is several times as much as present program amount and multiple business for the user, the user can't find needed program and information easily by simple traversal, so EPG arises at the historic moment.
EPG can provide easy-to-use, a friendly interface, so that the user can carry out fast access to programs of interest.In addition, EPG also provides the program arrangement of all channels in current and following a period of time, is convenient to the time that the user selects to watch TV targetedly.Simultaneously, EPG can provide classification feature, helps the user to browse and select various types of programs.
Program commending method based on EPG has two kinds of implementations at present:
1. local application mode: under this implementation, TV program list and program detail information are multiplexing in the MPEG-2 transport layer as the EPG programme, channel transmission back arrives such as receiving terminals such as television set, computers, decoder by receiving terminal is decoded to the data that receive, and by display screen the EPG programme is shown to the user.Under this mode, EPG provides basic functions such as programme and current playing programs for the user, and senior functions such as program additional information, program classification, program booking and parental ratings control.
2. interactive application mode: under this implementation, usually require to have in the software systems of digital TV set-top box middleware such as HTML engine etc., at the EPG of transmitting terminal server the EPG programme of html page form is organized, by the data broadcasting Channel Transmission to set-top box, set-top box is shown to the user with the page that receives again by the HTML engine, as browsing page in the Internet.The user can select own favorite program on the shown page of screen, then set-top box returns user's demand to TV station, and TV station is sent to corresponding TV signal in the television set or computer at user place again.Under this mode, EPG not only can provide basic function and the Premium Features in the local mode, but also can provide such as additional functions such as programme content background information, visual angle switching, weather forecast, recreation.
Above-mentioned two kinds of implementations all require business information or html page along with time-shift or program modification and do corresponding change, to guarantee the validity of EPG.In addition, in existing program commending method based on EPG, all there are a memory (MEM) and micro-control unit (MCU) in television set or the computer, wherein MEM is used to preserve the EPG programme that receives, MCU is used for reading the EPG programme from memory, and is shown to the user.
Though above-mentioned program commending method based on EPG can bring convenience for user's TV reception, there is following deficiency in this method:
In existing program commending method based on EPG, the user can only call the window that shows the EPG programme by manually operated mode, and can't the time that the user needs such as will finish such as television boot-strap or program, and ejecting the EPG programme automatically, comfort level is lower; And because existing method is shown to the whole programme informations that comprised at present and will broadcast future in user's the EPG programme, then the user need seek own favorite program in numerous clauses and subclauses of numerous and complicated, and the hommization degree is not high.

Table 2
As seen, above-mentioned automatic recommendation state table is whether the present invention shows the foundation that EPG recommends window and when shows automatically, and EPG screening conditions table then is that the present invention determines that EPG recommends the foundation of windows content.Automatic recommendation state table and EPG screening conditions table among the present invention all are kept among the MEM.
Referring to Fig. 1, the program commending method that the present invention is based on EPG may further comprise the steps:
Step 101.MCU reads automatic recommendation state table from MEM.
In this step, MCU reads the automatic recommendation state table that is stored among the MEM, obtains all recommendation states that the user selects.
Step 102～103. judge whether the user presses automatic recommendation button, if then execution in step 104; Otherwise, judge whether to open automatic recommendation according to automatic recommendation state table, if open, then execution in step 104, do not recommend if open automatically, then finish this program recommended flowsheet.
The present invention is provided with one and automatically recommends button on the employed remote controller of user, when the user pressed this and recommends button automatically, EPG recommended window to appear on the display screen.In two steps herein, if the user supresses automatic recommendation button, then direct execution in step 104 is so that show that by subsequent step EPG recommends window; If the user does not press automatic recommendation button, then will be according to the content of automatic recommendation state table, whether show in the decision subsequent step that EPG recommends window.In addition, for the priority that embodies automatic recommendation button is higher than automatic recommendation state table, so the present invention need not to judge whether to open automatic recommendation under the situation of pressing automatic recommendation button.
Herein according to recommending state table to judge whether that the method for opening automatic recommendation is automatically:, then judge to open automatically and recommend if the unlatching in the automatic recommendation tables recommends this project to be selected by the user automatically; Otherwise, judge and do not open automatic recommendation.With the automatic recommendation state table shown in the table 1 is example, recommends because the user has selected to open automatically, then continues execution in step 104 herein.
The EPG programme is read in step 104～105. from MEM, and according to judging whether this EPG programme effective the effective time of current time and this EPG programme, if then execution in step 106; Otherwise, finish this program recommended flowsheet.
The same with TV newspaper commonly used, can only comprise the TV programme in a period of time in the EPG programme.Therefore, can recognize program in current and following a period of time in order to make the user, the EPG programme will carry out regular update.EPG programme after each the renewal all has the effective time of self, then in this step, by judging that the current time is whether in the effective time of EPG programme, determine whether this EPG programme is effective, if promptly the current time judges that then this EPG programme is effective in the effective time of EPG programme; Otherwise, judge that this EPG programme is invalid.
Step 106～108. judge whether current state meets the recommendation state in the automatic recommendation state table, if then MCU reads EPG screening conditions table from MEM, and according to the EPG screening conditions table screening EPG programme that reads; Otherwise, finish this program recommended flowsheet.
Be example still with the automatic recommendation state table shown in the table 1, since the user selected current program finish preceding 5 minutes, when turning on television set or when pressing automatic recommendation button, automatically show that EPG recommends window, then will detect current state herein and whether meet above-mentioned three kinds of recommendation states.
Particularly, when selected recommendation state is that current program is when finishing preceding 5 minutes, judge that then the method whether current state meets the recommendation state is: MCU is called index with the name of current program, from the EPG programme that reads, get access to the concluding time of current program, thereby obtain current program and finish preceding 5 minutes pairing concrete time points, judge then whether the current time arrives this concrete time point, if judge that then current state meets current program and finishes preceding 5 minutes these recommendation states; Otherwise, judge that current state does not meet current program and finishes preceding 5 minutes these recommendation states.
When the recommendation state when turning on television set, judge that then the method whether current state meets the recommendation state is: judge whether television set powers on, if judge that then current state meets this recommendation state of television set of turning on; Otherwise, judge that current state does not meet this recommendation state of television set of turning on.
When the recommendation state when pressing automatic recommendation button, judge that then the method whether current state meets the recommendation state is: judge whether to receive come from remote controller should recommend the pairing key assignments of button automatically, if judge that then current state meets this recommendation state of automatic recommendation button of pressing; Otherwise, judge that current state does not meet this recommendation state of automatic recommendation button of pressing.Though judge in the step 102 to whether pressing automatic recommendation button, but when user's non-selected this recommendation state of automatic recommendation button of pressing in automatic recommendation tables, because user misoperation is supressed this automatically recommends button and demonstrate EPG automatically to recommend window, therefore still to carry out once judgement for fear of the present invention herein again about automatic recommendation button.
In addition, if the user is this recommendation state when recommending automatically to have selected switching channels in the state table, judge that then the method whether current state meets the recommendation state is: judge whether to receive signal from remote controller or display screen place terminal, if, judge then whether the key assignments that carries in the signal that receives is identical with current channel, if it is identical, judge that then current state does not meet this recommendation state of switching channels, if inequality, judge that then current state meets this recommendation state of switching channels; Otherwise, judge that current state does not meet this recommendation state of switching channels.
Meet in current state under the situation of recommendation state, the EPG screening conditions table of MCU reading and saving in MEM, and from this table, obtain user institute programs of interest information, so that determine the screening criteria of EPG programme.Concrete screening technique is: at first determine the time range that EPG recommends according to the screening time section in current time and the EPG screening conditions table, promptly the start time point of recommending as EPG with the current time, with current time and the termination time point of screening time section sum as the EPG recommendation; Then, programme is retrieved to EPG, therefrom obtains beginning broadcast time to be in above-mentioned EPG and to recommend program within the time range; Then, from the program that is obtained, select the program that meets screening conditions again, determine The selection result.With the EPG screening conditions table in the table 2 is example, because the user has selected sports channel and film class program in this table, and recommending the time period is 1 hour, then when programme screens to EPG, only all programme informations in the sports channel that will broadcast in 1 hour future and the film class programme information of all channels are picked out, form The selection result herein, so that subsequent step is recommended to show in the window at EPG.
In this step, MCU as the content that EPG recommends window, shows the The selection result that obtains in the step 108 on display screen.Show herein that EPG recommends window can adopt from bottom to top to release, releases from top to bottom, releases from left to right, releases from right to left, modes such as gradual change appearance and ejection.
So far, finish the program commending flow process that the present invention is based on EPG.
Above-mentioned steps 101 to step 109 is one embodiment of the present of invention, among the application of reality, step 106 can be carried out between step 104 and 105, promptly when current state meets recommendation state in the automatic recommendation state table, in the execution in step 105 whether the EPG programme is effectively judged; Otherwise, finish this program recommended flowsheet.In addition, step 106 can also be carried out after step 108, promptly when current state meets recommendation state in the automatic recommendation state table, shows in the execution in step 109 that EPG recommends the operation of window; Otherwise, finish this program recommended flowsheet.
The above only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is in order to restriction the present invention, within the spirit and principles in the present invention not all, any modification of being made, is equal to replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
