Description

A kind of electronic program guidance system and method that realizes that simultaneously live and time shift is switched
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of electronic program guidance system, what relate in particular to the network multimedia TV technology a kind ofly realizes electronic program guidance system and method live and that time shift is switched simultaneously.
Technical background
IPTV is as the streaming media service of brand-new framework, and it is inside and outside to be successfully applied to the sea, and a plurality of operators promote IPTV as the new media business, and programme content that it is abundant offers its service-user.Time-shift service among the IPTV has thoroughly been overturned original mode of seeing TV especially, brings brand-new rating to experience to spectators, makes IPTV become real " my TV ", has broken away from the constraint of time, has complied with the more and more faster rhythm of life of modern.
Time-moving television has two kinds of implementations at present, a kind of is shifting state when directly entering when watching programme televised live: the user is after entering direct broadcast band, F.F., rewind down key by remote controller are realized time shift, watch the TV programme of having play, and this mode is called direct broadcast time-shift; Another kind of mode is to select time shift program by menu: promptly list TV programme and the information of having recorded thereof in the time shift menu, what supply user selection watches that this mode is called the program request time shift.
At present nearly all IPTV system all provides similar function to realize and mode of operation to direct broadcast time-shift, and for the program request time shift, the implementation pattern that present IPTV system adopts mostly is as follows: special time shift column is provided, in this column, listed important TV programme, say thing, world football as Xiao Cui, select to watch that its user experience and video request program are about the same by the user.
See also Fig. 1, be the display page of existing program request time shift EPG, it only shows each channel in different time sections recorded program title, and the user can be according to these information, selects oneself to want the program watched, after the affirmation, enters time shift program.
See also Fig. 2, switch to the process chart of program request time shift program for existing programme televised live, the user selects to want the programme televised live watched from direct broadcast band EPG, and watches just at live program, at this moment after confirming, if the user wants to change and sees the time shift program of having recorded, just need withdraw from programme televised live earlier, enter the EPG of time shift program then, the programme information that provides according to time shift program EPG is selected the program that will watch, click and confirm, enter and watch time shift program.
See also Fig. 3, switch to the process chart of programme televised live for existing program request time shift program, the user selects to want the time shift program watched from time shift program EPG, and watches time shift program after confirming, at this moment, if the user wants to change and sees live program, just need withdraw from time shift program earlier, enter the EPG of programme televised live then, the program channel information that provides according to programme televised live EPG, click and confirm, enter and watch programme televised live.
See also Fig. 4, switch to the process chart of another time shift program for existing time shift program, the user is watching time shift program, at this moment, if the user wants to change other time shift programs of seeing this channel, just need withdraw from progress time shift program earlier, enter the EPG of time shift program then, select other time shift programs according to the programme information that time shift program EPG provides, click and confirm, enter and watch other time shift programs.
From above-mentioned explanation as can be seen, the user must just can enter time shift program EPG after withdrawing from programme televised live, otherwise, also must after withdrawing from time shift program, just can enter programme televised live EPG, to between programme televised live and time shift program, switch, just need divide in other EPG page and switch, like this user be used very inconvenience at it.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome the defective of prior art and a kind of electronic program guidance system and method that realizes that simultaneously live and time shift is switched is provided, it can be implemented among the same EPG, directly carries out live and switching time shift program, and the user is easy to use.
