Embodiment
Describe embodiments of the present invention in detail below with reference to drawings and Examples, how the application technology means solve technical problem to the present invention whereby, and the implementation procedure of reaching technique effect can fully understand and implements according to this.
At first, if do not conflict, the mutually combining of each feature among the embodiment of the invention and the embodiment is all within protection scope of the present invention.In addition, although there is shown logical order in flow process, in some cases, can carry out step shown or that describe with the order that is different from herein.
Fig. 1 is the schematic flow sheet of rendering method of the EPG of the embodiment of the invention.As shown in Figure 1, present embodiment mainly comprises the steps:
Step S110 classifies to all EPG information according to program category, obtains at least two EPG classification, is respectively EPG classification and the 2nd EPG classification such as these two EPG.
Step S120, in the display frame of EPG, present this at least two EPG classification, the information of at least one program under the EPG classification wherein, also present the identification information (such as the identification picture of this TV play " hiding " etc.) of the first program (such as TV play " hiding ") in this at least one program.
The implementation procedure of this step S120 comprises:
Present this at least two EPG classification in the X direction of the display frame of EPG and one of them direction of y direction, present the information of at least one program under the EPG classification at other direction;
Present the first segment purpose identification information in this at least one program in the main viewing area of the display frame of EPG.
As shown in Figure 1, embodiments of the invention can also comprise the steps:
Step S130 receives the user according to the selection operation of the display frame select target program of EPG;
Step S140 based on the user's who receives selection operation, carries out polymerization to the EPG information of this target program, obtains the broadcast information relevant with this target program (such as recent broadcast time, how many collection of broadcast etc.);
Step S150 shows the broadcast information relevant with this target program, is convenient to the user and confirms to select operation.
The implementation procedure of above-mentioned steps S140 comprises:
The recent broadcast information of this target program of inquiry on all optional channels from database is broadcasted the information acquisition broadcast information relevant with this target program in the recent period according to this.
Such as, in the embodiments of the invention, what present on the X direction is the EPG such as news, variety, TV play and film classification, and what present on the y direction is the information such as the news category program of news hookup, News Express etc. under this EPG classification of news of arranging in chronological order.In other embodiments of the invention, the information that presents on the information that presents on the X direction and the y direction can with previous embodiment in content exchange.In a word, in the embodiments of the invention, present the EPG classification on one of them direction of the X direction of the display frame of EPG and y direction, present the information of lower at least one program of a certain EPG classification on the other direction.
For another example, in other embodiments of the invention, present on the X direction also can be the program that is broadcasting, the program of having preengage, some program classifications (such as comprise Domestic News, literature and art amusement, science and education, physical culture, life, green grass or young crops less, film, TV play etc.) information etc.; And the longitudinal axis shows corresponding content according to current classified information, for the program that is broadcasting, shows the content information of the current program that is broadcasting of each channel; For the program of having preengage, by broadcast time order show the content information of the program preengage; Arrange according to time sequencing for the program under the same classification.
Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 are the schematic diagrames that presents of the EPG that realizes of the technical scheme according to present embodiment.Wherein, Fig. 2 presents is the schematic diagram of the program that broadcasting, and what Fig. 3 presented is the schematic diagram of classify programs.
At the EPG picture shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the user can be switched by move left and right the classification of program, by moving up and down to check other programs, perhaps selects certain program to check details.
In the present embodiment, for the program (for example, TV play etc.) of orderly class, serving as theme with the predefined procedure of program (such as the collection of drama order of TV play) presents relevant EPG classification, as shown in Figure 4; Program (for example, world football etc.) for unordered class then presents relevant EPG classification, as shown in Figure 5 in chronological order.
Further, when checking program detail information, the user can carry out channel and switch (to the current program that is broadcasting), displaying predetermined programme (to the program that broadcasts in the future), and perhaps operations such as (to the program that has broadcasted, need to have the backstage that service is provided) is watched in playback.
The given EPG presentation mode of embodiments of the invention has two characteristics:
The one, classifying content presents, and all EPG information classifications, allows the user check program (as shown in Figures 2 and 3) under different classes of according to the EPG classification according to the classification of the EPG information content;
The 2nd, EPG information fusion, all relevant EPG information (comprising different channel, different collection of dramas) of its same content (for example, TV play " hiding ") are presented to the user together, allow the suitable channel of user selection, the suitable time is watched (as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5).
These two parts cooperate finishes the EPG look facility.
When practical application, the user finds the program (for example TV play " hiding ") that will see by Fig. 2 or shown in Figure 3 dividing in the class view first, then click this program, enter Fig. 4 or Fig. 5, check (with TV play " hiding ") relevant EPG information, then select time and channel are watched program; Perhaps the user selects to return Fig. 2 or Fig. 3 from Fig. 4 or Fig. 5, reselects the program of other classification.
Embodiments of the invention also provide a kind of device that presents of electronic program list.In conjunction with the embodiment of the rendering method of aforementioned EPG shown in Figure 1, the device that presents of present embodiment shown in Figure 6 mainly comprises sort module 610 and presents module 620, wherein:
Wherein, this presents module 620 and comprises:
First presents module, is used for presenting this at least two EPG classification in the X direction of this display frame and one of them direction of y direction, presents the information of at least one program under the EPG classification in these at least two EPG classification on the other direction;
Second presents module, is used for presenting in the main viewing area of this display frame the first segment purpose identification information of this at least one program.
As shown in Figure 6, present embodiment can also comprise receiver module 630, polymerization module 640 and display module 650, wherein:
